In a recent learning study they were able to show that new conceptual information is stored along spatial dimensions in form of a mental map […] An anti-smoking drug now has a new job — as a chemical switch to turn select neurons on or off. The drug latches on to […] Most of us know what it’s like to savor a decadent slice of chocolate cake or a glass of our favorite wine. But savoring is […] Scientists at Tokyo Institute of Technology found a simple, yet effective, way to improve how synchronization is measured in chaotic systems. The technique consists in […] From the cab driver heading for Times Square to the commuter returning home on the freeway, we all carry maps in our head labeled with […] Early adult general cognitive ability (GCA) — the diverse set of skills involved in thinking, such as reasoning, memory and perception — is a stronger […] Leaky capillaries in the brain portend early onset of Alzheimer’s disease as they signal cognitive impairment before hallmark toxic proteins amyloid and tau appear, new […] An inter-disciplinary research team led by scientists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) has successfully employed machine learning to uncover new insights into the […]
