Two new studies published in the journals Neuron00792-5) and Naturereveal how the human brain transforms a continuous stream of sound into distinct words. The findings identify a specific neural ...

This study used pupillometry to provide an objective assessment of a form of synesthesia in which people see additional color when reading numbers. It provides convincing evidence that subjective ...

Amyloid PET has become a pivotal imaging biomarker for Alzheimer disease (AD), enabling in vivo detection and quantification of β-amyloid deposition. However, variability in quantitative measurements ...

Abstract: Full reconstruction of neuron morphology in volumetric images is of fundamental interest for the analysis and understanding of neuron function. Termination points could be very good ...

Neurons are the specialized cells that allow our bodies to transmit impulses, like factories that process inputs. They send signals that help us catch a ball, recognize a favorite song or pull our ...

Massive computing systems are required to train neural networks. The prodigious amount of consumed energy makes the creation of AI applications significant polluters ...

Coronary artery calcium (CAC) is a marker of subclinical atherosclerosis that confers increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Measured by noncontrast cardiac computed tomography, CAC ...

Scientists have built an artificial neuron that’s so realistic it fires, learns, and responds to chemical signals just like the real thing – a breakthrough that could transform computing, medicine, ...

This important paper takes a novel approach to the problem of automatically reconstructing long-range axonal projections from stacks of images. The key innovation is to separate the identification of ...

Risk for new-onset hypertension is decreased in patients that increase their average intensity level of regular physical activity. Increasing the average intensity level of regular physical activity ...
