An enzyme in a cyanobacterium can take the unusual form a triangle containing ever-smaller triangular gaps, making a fractal pattern

Maryam Shanechi and her team have developed a new machine learning method that reveals surprisingly consistent intrinsic brain patterns across different subjects by disentangling these patterns from the effect of visual inputs. The work has been published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

After the dotcom bubble burst, SXSW Interactive struggled to survive. In this excerpt from our definitive oral history, festival organizers and attendees talk about how grim things really got and the young online community that turned everything around.

Scientists reveal how an intranasally delivered oxytocin derivative could be used to treat Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's disease (AD), characterized by an accumulation of ß-amyloid protein (Aß) in brain tissue, is a leading cause of dementia. Researchers at Tokyo University of Science have previ

At one time or another, we’ve all felt paralyzed by a threat or danger. Now scientists have traced where that reaction to a threat arises. In a new study, University of Iowa researchers confirmed a neural circuit linking two separate regions in the brain governs how animals, including humans, rea

Scientific Reports - The sleep EEG envelope is a novel, neuronal firing-based human biomarker

1 in 5 people who receive CPR report lucid experiences of death while they are seemingly unconscious and on the brink of death. The lucid experiences appear to be different from hallucinations, dreams, illusions, and delusions. Researchers found during these experiences the brain has heightened activity and markers for lucidity, suggesting the human sense of self, like other biological functions, may not completely stop around the time of death.

Patients diagnosed with TLE have difficulty forming memories of new experiences when they are similar to past experiences.

Study finds folic acid treatment is associated with decreased risk of suicide attempts The common, inexpensive supplement was linked with a 44% reduction in suicide attempts and self-harm. With nearly 46,000 people in America dying by suicide in 2020, it is one of the leading causes of death in

When the brain encodes memories as positive or negative, one molecule determines which way they will go.

“What happens if we mow our urban lawns only 1-2x/year? Insects come back (of course), especially those that can fly 🐝🪲 Interestingly, perceived 'pest' species do not benefit from this untidyness - on the contrary. Our new meta-analysis in now online: https://t.co/pwqmNTz9nY”
