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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Memory is a continually unfolding process. Initial details of an experience take shape in memory; the brain’s representation of that information then changes over time. With subsequent reactivations, ...

Recurrent neural networks are a classification of artificial neural networks used in artificial intelligence (AI), natural language processing (NLP), deep learning, and machine learning. They process ...

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 ...
