Poverty Is Linked to Poorer Brain Development – But Reading Can Help Counteract It [analysis]
Early childhood is a critical period for brain development , which is important for boosting cognition and mental wellbeing. Good brain health at this age is directly linked to better mental heath, cognition and educational attainment in adolescence and adulthood. It can also provide…
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…
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…
