Researchers Want to Restore ‘Good Noise’ in Older Brains
Aging people lose variation in brain oxygen levels—a sign of declining cognitive flexibility. A new drug study probes whether that loss can be reversed. ..

The trick is to use data from the brain to synthesize speech in real time so users can practice and the machine can learn. New BCI systems are getting ..
A new model of learning centers on blasts of neural activity that act as teaching signals—approximating an algorithm called backpropagation. ..
A blood test of “NfL” proteins answers questions about damage severity that doctors—and families—desperately need. ..
Dozens of microchips scattered over the cortical surface might allow researchers to listen in on thousands of neurons at the same time. ..
Scientists taught an artificial neural network to imitate a biological neuron. The result offers a new way to think about the complexity of brain cells. ..
Now you can blame the primate brain. And neuroscientists are eager for a deeper look. ..
This cephalopod is the only known animal that doesn’t exhibit age-related deterioration when recalling specific events. ..
Crows recently demonstrated an understanding of the concept of zero. It’s only the latest evidence of animals’ talents for numerical abstraction. ..
The ability to spot Jesus’ mug in a piece of burnt toast might be a product of evolution. ..
