Findings from a novel study in Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging, suggest that using a specialized diffusion weighted MRI scan to monitor the spatial pattern of individual ...

Our thoughts are specified by our knowledge and plans, yet our cognition can also be fast and flexible in handling new information. How does the well-controlled and yet highly nimble nature of ...

MIT engineers have developed a hybrid propulsion system that combines the raw push of ...

Certain cells in the brain create a nurturing environment, enhancing the health and resilience of their neighbors, while others promote stress and damage. Using spatial transcriptomics and AI, ...

Findings from a study suggest that using a specialized diffusion weighted MRI scan to monitor the spatial pattern of individual cortical microstructural change in the brain may be a promising approach ...

The brain creates internal 'maps' to help us navigate and learn from our surroundings, but how these maps form remains a challenge to understand. Now, a study led by Liset M. de la Prida at the Cajal ...

As we age, it becomes more difficult to remember where things are—whether it's recalling where we left the keys or where we parked the car. This spatial memory deteriorates further with the onset of ...

Although the effects of genes and mutations in diseased and normal states can be studied with technologies like single-cell and RNA sequencing, crucial information is missing about the location and ...

Did you know that after age 50, your brain shrinks? On average, the hippocampus shrinks 1-2% year by year at this time. The ...
