New study links brain waves directly to memory
Neurons produce rhythmic patterns of electrical activity in the brain. One of the unsettled questions in the field of neuroscience is what primarily drives these rhythmic signals, called oscillations. University of Arizona researchers have found that simply remembering events can trigger them, even more…
Living a Varied Life Boosts Brain Connectivity in Mice
The brains in mice benefit from an active and varied lifestyle by forming enhanced neural connections. Researchers in Germany compared the brain activity of mice raised in different environments and found those raised in an ‘enriched’ environment had more activity in their hippocampus ,…
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…
Century-Old Paradigm Overturned – Brain Shape Matters More Than Neural Connectivity
Researchers have discovered that the shape of a person’s brain significantly impacts thought, feeling, and behavior, overturning the prevailing emphasis on complex neuronal connectivity. Utilizing MRI scans and the principle of eigenmodes, they found that brain function is closely linked to its geometric properties,…
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….
The Three Channels of Gut-Brain Communication
Key points Gut microbes communicate with the brain using three different channels. The nervous system is the fastest of the three. The immune system is potent, but lacks subtlety. Hormones are slow, but long acting. Nature is everywhere gothic, not classic. She forms a…
A varied life boosts the brain’s functional networks
That experiences leave their trace in the connectivity of the brain has been known for a while, but a pioneering study by researchers at the German Center for Neurodegenerative Diseases (DZNE) and TUD Dresden University of Technology now shows how massive these effects really…
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…
Old Memories Can Prime Brains to Make New Ones
Memories are shadows of the past but also flashlights for the future. Our recollections guide us through the world, tune our attention, and shape what we learn later in life. Human and animal studies have shown that memories can alter our perceptions of future…
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…
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…
Understanding the speed of brain communication
It often was thought that the speed of information transmitted among regions of the brain stabilized during early adolescence. A study in Nature Neuroscience by Mayo Clinic researchers and colleagues from the Netherlands found transmission speeds continue to increase into early adulthood. Because problems…
You Can Improve Your Brain Health As You Age: Promising Research Tells Us How
he saying that “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks” can be (wrongfully) applied to humans, and with said application comes a lot of damaging—not to mention false—presumptions. Researchers like Rachel Wu et al. , who recently published findings of two studies from…
Biological Brains Outpace AI in Learning, Thanks to Structured Exploration
Summary: When it comes to rapid learning, the biological brain seems to have an edge over current AI technology. Scientists worked with different models of reinforcement learning to understand the algorithms that the brain uses to learn. They found that the directed exploration used…
The Power Within by Corey Daniels book available for only $2.99
Mind has both conscious and subconscious halves. These are likened to a driver and the truck he drives. The driver plans the destination and observes road conditions, while the truck provides motive power. Your subconscious mind is like the truck and it only goes in the direction in which is a steered. This can be the road or off a cliff. Likewise, the consciousness paints a picture of what the world is and what your goals are and the subconscious acts on them through emotion, physical response and energy, whether these are correct, rational images or false negative ones. The subconscious is also like an emotional reservoir which your body and mind draw responses from to external stimuli.
The Power Within lays out a method of programming your subconscious and tapping into the Holy Spirit, God voice or what the Greeks called the daimon (godman).
