A study using electroencephalography found that the extent of memory retention after sleep is associated with time spent in slow wave sleep. The location where the brain shows neural activity ...

New research provides evidence that electric fields shared among neurons via 'ephaptic coupling' provide the coordination necessary to assemble the multi-region neural ensembles ('engrams') that ...

In a new, rare study of direct brain recordings in children and adolescents, scientists have discovered as brains mature, the precise ways by which two key memory regions in the brain communicate make ...

Analyzing the functional connectivity of different brain networks, researchers found that, compared to a healthy aging brain, Alzheimer’s disease disrupts areas of the brain beyond those relating to ...

Zdenka Kuncic owns shares in Emergentia, Inc. Alon Loeffler does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from this article, and has ...

Networks pervade our lives. Every day we use intricate networks of roads, railways, maritime routes and skyways traversed by commercial flights. They exist even beyond our immediate experience. Think ...

Modern artificial intelligence systems operate with a fundamental paradox: they demonstrate remarkable reasoning capabilities while simultaneously suffering from systematic amnesia. Large language ...

A quantum version of a random access memory can read and write information 1000 times, and could eventually become a key component in long-distance quantum networks. In conventional computers, random ...

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are a type of neural network that is designed to capture increasingly more complex features within its input data. To do this, CNNs are constructed from a sequence ...

Sitting on the Marine Atlantic ferry, I’m watching the Newfoundland skyline disappear on the horizon as I type away. I see the rocking of the ocean waves, inhale its salty breeze, feel and hear the ...
