Lost memories may be a thing of the past as neuroscientists conduct research on mice to test memory recall. By using optogenetics and stimulating the hippocampus, researchers were able to show that memories reside in specific brain cells, which can be activated to recall the entire memory. Our fo
In an effort to better understand why fruit flies are immediately attracted to our food, a team of scientists developed a device, called Flywalk, to measure the response of insects to odor signals. Researchers discovered males and females of the same species were attracted to different odors and tha
New research from scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics supports the view that the content of consciousness is not localized in a unique cortical area but, rather, that a global network of neurons from different areas of the brain is responsible for it. Consciousness i
Why matter dominates over antimatter in our universe has long been a major cosmic mystery to physicists. A new finding by the world’s largest particle collider has revealed a clue.
Existing numerical computing libraries lack native support for physical units, limiting their application in rigorous scientific computing. Here, the authors developed SAIUnit, which integrates physical units, and unit-aware mathematical functions and transformations into numerical computing libraries for artificial intelligence-driven scientific computing.
Einstein imagined gravitational waves over a hundred years ago, but it wasn’t until 2016 that technology finally caught up. Now, researchers are pushing the boundaries again – this time with the help of an AI named Urania. Developed by Dr. Mario Krenn and his team, Urania has designed a series of
“Olo” is said to be a saturated blue-green — but some say the existence of a new colour is “open to argument”
A new pill, tavapadon, has shown potential in easing Parkinson’s symptoms while limiting side effects. In patients taking at least 400 mg of levodopa daily, tavapadon helped reduce motor fluctuations.
Music may have a calming effect on patients recovering from surgery – reducing anxiety, perceived pain, and heart rate.
Kidney and nerve tissue cells can form memories much like brain cells, one new study has found. Another recent study says that memories of obesity stored in fat tissue may be partly responsible for the yo-yo weight loss effect.
