Scientists have developed a new machine learning method that reveals surprisingly consistent intrinsic brain patterns across different subjects by disentangling these patterns from the effect of ...

The human brain does more than simply regulate synapses that exchange signals; individual neurons also process information through “intrinsic plasticity,” the adaptive ability to become more sensitive ...

Researchers from Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) developed a frequency switching neuristor device that mimics the intrinsic plasticity of neurons. The device can ...

The ventral nerve cord is the area of the fruit fly’s nervous system that controls most of its movement, also called its motor functions. There are a variety of different broad classes of neurons that ...

We often think of memory as stable—a mental archive that stores experiences in neat, retrievable files. But what if those files quietly shift positions, even when the original experience hasn’t ...

ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, is among the most challenging neurological disorders: relentlessly progressive, universally fatal, and without a cure even after more than a century and a half ...

Maryam Shanechi, Dean’s Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and founding director of the USC Center for Neurotechnology, and her team have developed a new machine learning method that ...
