The Utility of Memories Dictates Their Place in Our Brain
Summary: Researchers propose a fresh perspective on systems consolidation, the process by which certain memories are moved from the hippocampus to the neocortex for long-term storage. Their theory, backed by a mathematical neural network model, posits that the consolidation of memories depends on their…
Some people’s brain function still affected by Long COVID years after infection
Some people’s brain function still affected by Long COVID years after infection UK researchers have found that people with longer-term COVID-19 symptoms including brain fog showed reduced performance in tasks testing different mental processes up to two years after infection with the virus. Researchers…
Brain Wave Study Reveals Secrets of Unconsciousness
Spelunking the depths of unconsciousness may have gotten a notch easier, as researchers from MIT unveil a pioneering study on how general anesthetics affect our brain waves. New markers of brain wave activity could allow anesthetists to stop patients from entering a deeper state…
New theory better explains how the brain stores memories
Neural network model of systems consolidation. Credit: Nature Neuroscience (2023). DOI: 10.1038/s41593-023-01382-9 How useful a memory is for future situations determines where it resides in the brain, according to a new theory proposed by researchers at HHMI’s Janelia Research Campus and collaborators at UCL….
Brain networks encoding memory come together via electric fields, study finds
A) Neural field model and connections. Neural fields provided a quantitative way to describe each ensemble’s patterns of activity across simultaneously recorded sites. The same model can describe different ensembles. Each electrode occupies a position on a cortical manifold (line) Δ parameterized by the…
Brain Biomarkers Could Redefine Mental Health Diagnosis
The study of biomarkers in the brain—powered by cutting-edge machine learning techniques—could redefine the way mental health conditions are categorized and diagnosed and lead to more effective, personalized treatments. That’s the goal of Yu Zhang , an assistant professor of bioengineering and electrical and…
Synaptic Secrets Revealed: Scientists Use AI To Watch Brain Connections Change
Scientists from Johns Hopkins University have harnessed artificial intelligence to visualize and track synaptic changes in live animals, aiming to enhance our understanding of brain connectivity changes in humans due to learning, aging, injury, and illness. By using machine learning, they were able to…
How does the brain process and store words we hear?
US researchers studying the brain’s auditory lexicon find implications for stroke survivors and others with brain disorders. Neuroscientists from Georgetown University Medical Centre, US, say the brain’s auditory lexicon, a catalogue of verbal language, is actually located in the front of the primary auditory…
When computer vision works more like a brain, it sees more like people do
IT neural similarity correlates with improved white box adversarial robustness. A) held out animal and image IT neural similarity is plotted against white box adversarial accuracy (PGD L∞ ϵ = 1/1020) on the HVM image set measured across multiple training time points for all…

Battle of the Dendrites: How Neurons Compete To Cut Connections
Researchers at Kyushu University discovered the chemical pathways that regulate synaptic pruning, a crucial phase in brain development where excessive and incorrect neuronal connections are eliminated. The team found that in the presence of neurotransmitter signaling, the receiving dendrite is protected while other dendrites…
