When we talk about death, we often say things along the lines of “it's a fact of life,” but the view can be very different when you’re facing the real and imminent prospect of no longer ...

The sum total of the connections within your brain, your ‘wiring diagram’, constitutes your ‘connectome’. In Sebastian Seung’s view, argued provocatively here, ‘you are your connectome’. His book is ...

Study Helps Solve Mystery Between Repeated Head Impacts in Sports and Location of Brain Degeneration in CTE Dec. 9, 2024 — A new study is helping solve the mystery as to why the brain shrinks in ...

Together, the team has now used this brain connectome to find all the neurons that make up the circadian clock of a fly. The result: "The circadian clock in the Drosophila brain consists of at ...

Oxford University Press has chosen "brain rot" as its word of the year. The word is defined as "supposed deterioration of a person’s mental or intellectual state, especially viewed as a result ...

Alzheimer’s disease may cause degeneration of neurons in the brain through amyloid plaques, neurofibrillary tangles, inflammation, and brain atrophy. The condition may affect different parts of ...

Applied to a public driver fatigue detection dataset, our approach surpasses existing state-of-the-art methods in performance. Additionally, interpretive analysis provides micro and mesoscopic ...
