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. ..

A new gene expression study reveals broad cellular diversity as well as possibly ancient connections between the nervous, immune, and digestive systems. ..
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 5-minute assessment on an iPad could transform how we screen for dementia—or overwhelm the health care system with worried test-takers. ..
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. ..
DNA double-strand breaks are associated with cancer and aging. A new study shows neurons can use them to quickly express genes related to learning and memory. ..
Hundreds of people are displaying similar behaviors to that of YouTube star Jan Zimmermann. Do they have a disorder or something more mysterious? ..
