New study reveals that 'SuperAgers' have brains that produce twice the number of young neurons, showing the brain's capacity to regenerate and resist cognitive decline.

Adults whose brains still have strong neuron production seem to have better memory and cognitive function than do those in whom the ability wanes, finds a study published today in Nature. The authors ...

Abstract: In modern times, the application of Neural Networks has been popularized in many fields such as medical, cyber security, autonomous vehicles, and natural language processing. This is due to ...

Older adults with exceptional memories continue to grow new brain cells. A recent study published in the journal Nature shows ...

ABSTRACT: Neurodegenerative disorders, most notably Alzheimer’s disease (AD), are marked by progressive cognitive decline and widespread neuronal loss. A growing body of evidence indicates that ...

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 ...

The brain’s rules seem simple: Fire together, wire together. When groups of neurons activate, they become interconnected. This networking is how we learn, reason, form memories, and adapt to our world ...

Brain function is mediated by both excitatory and inhibitory interactions between neurons that possess their own “intrinsic electrical activity”. In the hippocampus, neuronal spiking synchronization ...
