Researchers created a pocket-sized AI model that works like a living brain, using just 10,000 variables instead of 60 million. The breakthrough could lead to smarter, more efficient technology while helping scientists unlock mysteries of human vision.
Scientists can now track what's happening inside a living brain using just a blood test. This breakthrough could revolutionize how we monitor and treat brain diseases.
Scientists used a precise gene-editing tool to fix a rare brain disorder in mice, reversing learning problems and behavioral issues after birth. The breakthrough suggests that genetic brain damage might not be permanent, offering new hope for treating neurodevelopmental conditions.
Switching between languages doesn't weaken the neural connection between bilingual mothers and their children, groundbreaking brain research reveals. The finding offers reassurance to millions of multilingual families worldwide.
Newborn chickens match sounds to shapes just like humans do, suggesting the famous "bouba-kiki" effect isn't unique to language after all. The discovery pushes back our understanding of this ability by 300 million years.
Scientists in Israel successfully reversed schizophrenia symptoms in lab trials using targeted brain stimulation, offering hope for millions who don't respond to current treatments. The breakthrough could transform care for one-third of the world's 21 million schizophrenia patients.
Scientists discovered they could make people more willing to share by gently syncing two brain regions. The breakthrough suggests our capacity for kindness may be tied to how different parts of our brain communicate.
Researchers accidentally discovered a network of tiny vessels deep inside the brain that may help clear out waste and toxic proteins. The finding could revolutionize how we treat Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and other brain diseases.
Scientists discovered that brain support cells located far from spinal cord injuries send signals that help clean up damage and promote healing. This breakthrough could lead to new treatments for paralysis, stroke, and multiple sclerosis.
Scientists discovered that building physical endurance isn't just about muscles. Your brain might be training right alongside your body.
Researchers discovered specific neurons in mice that build endurance with each workout, opening the door to therapies that could help people who struggle to exercise. The brain changes may coordinate all the body's fitness improvements.
Researchers at NYU have pinpointed exactly where those sudden flashes of insight happen in your brain, solving a mystery that's puzzled scientists for decades. The discovery could help millions with conditions like schizophrenia and Parkinson's disease.
NYU researchers discovered the exact brain region responsible for sudden flashes of recognition that help us instantly identify blurry objects. The breakthrough could lead to better treatments for hallucinations and smarter AI that learns like humans do.
Scientists are testing a groundbreaking stem cell treatment that could help the brain produce dopamine again, potentially restoring movement in people with Parkinson's disease. The early trial at three U.S. medical centers is showing promise for the one million Americans living with this progressive condition.
Scientists have proven what many have long suspected: sleeping on a problem really does help you solve it. New research shows our brains actively work through challenges while we rest.
Scientists just discovered that Parkinson's disease affects a newly found brain network that links mind and body, not just movement. This breakthrough could lead to more precise treatments for millions living with the condition.
Scientists identified the exact brain network causing Parkinson's disease and more than doubled treatment effectiveness by targeting it precisely. The breakthrough could transform care for over 10 million patients worldwide with non-invasive therapy.
NYU researchers have pinpointed exactly where and how the brain stores visual memories that let us instantly recognize something we've seen just once. The breakthrough could help millions with neurological disorders and revolutionize artificial intelligence.
Scientists discovered that Parkinson's disease disrupts a newly found brain network linking thoughts to actions, not just movement. This breakthrough could lead to more effective treatments for millions.
Scientists are developing a promising new treatment for narcolepsy, a chronic disorder that makes staying awake a daily battle for millions worldwide. The breakthrough could transform life for people who struggle with uncontrollable sleep episodes.
