A new study suggests that the brain processes information with high efficiency by synchronizing the physical wiring of neural networks with the varying speeds of local brain activity. Published in ...

Using an algorithm they call the Krakencoder, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine are a step closer to unraveling how the brain’s wiring supports the way we think and act. The study, published June ...

A novel mathematical approach enables the identification of brain regions whose connectivity shifts in autism or aging, informing targeted brain stimulation therapies.

Scientists have traced connectivity between neurons to identify how the brain communicates with the spinal cord. A new brain map visualizes the connections between the brain and spinal cord at the ...

Across a typical lifetime, the human brain does not simply grow, peak, and decline. It passes through five sweeping ...

New research shows that mild COVID-19 alters brain structure and connectivity in key areas responsible for memory and cognition, emphasizing the lasting effects on young people’s brain health. Study: ...

A new study published in Lupus Science & Medicine investigated the relationship between homotopic connectivity, which refers to the functional and structural connections between the hemispheres of the ...

Every moment, the brain balances signals that unfold at different speeds. Some arrive in milliseconds, such as a sudden sound ...

As Alzheimer’s disease pathology advances, tangles propagate throughout the brain in a fairly stereotypical pattern. Yet tau PET scans of people at the same disease stage are not identical. Could ...
