The human brain can concurrently support a wide range of advanced mental functions, including attention, memory and the ...

The frequent occurrence of a pattern in a network, however, is not strictly correlated with a biological function. Network topologies reflect evolutionary origins and therefore the selection of ...

Patterns of brain connectivity take us a step closer to understanding the key principles of cognition. The patterns created by neurons in the brain can be used to shine a light on how the brain ...

Neuroscientists have identified face-recognition areas based on what parts of the brain they link to. For more than a decade, neuroscientists have known that many of the cells in a brain region called ...

Fluctuations in brain activity, also known as neural variability, enable us to be flexible in adjusting our behavior to the ...

New research shows fat in arms, legs, torso, and around organs affects brain health differently, with visceral fat tied to ...

Following the course of lung function in treatment-naïve patients, researchers found that lung function decline does not accelerate prior to mechanical ventilation. Patterns in the decline of lung ...

A new study sheds light on sleep and cognitive changes in older adults. Namely, sleeping for a short amount of time and sleep variability were linked to poor cognitive function, the authors reported.

Rice University researchers used a focused electron beam to pattern device functions with submicron precision directly into ...
