New research provides evidence that electric fields shared among neurons via 'ephaptic coupling' provide the coordination necessary to assemble the multi-region neural ensembles ('engrams') that ...

Networks pervade our lives. Every day we use intricate networks of roads, railways, maritime routes and skyways traversed by commercial flights. They exist even beyond our immediate experience. Think ...

Zdenka Kuncic owns shares in Emergentia, Inc. Alon Loeffler does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from this article, and has ...

Analyzing the functional connectivity of different brain networks, researchers found that, compared to a healthy aging brain, Alzheimer’s disease disrupts areas of the brain beyond those relating to ...

A quantum version of a random access memory can read and write information 1000 times, and could eventually become a key component in long-distance quantum networks. In conventional computers, random ...

Memory is a continually unfolding process. Initial details of an experience take shape in memory; the brain’s representation of that information then changes over time. With subsequent reactivations, ...

Sitting on the Marine Atlantic ferry, I’m watching the Newfoundland skyline disappear on the horizon as I type away. I see the rocking of the ocean waves, inhale its salty breeze, feel and hear the ...

In a study published in Frontiers in Science, scientists from Purdue University and the Georgia Institute of Technology ...

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are a type of neural network that is designed to capture increasingly more complex features within its input data. To do this, CNNs are constructed from a sequence ...

Recurrent neural networks are a classification of artificial neural networks used in artificial intelligence (AI), natural language processing (NLP), deep learning, and machine learning. They process ...
