Florida Atlantic University's associate professor of neuroscience Lucia Carvelli has received a $571,675 grant from the National Institutes of Health to advance critical research into how amphetamines affect brain function. The study aims to fill major gaps in understanding amphetamine's effects on the brain, which
Artificial neural networks
Investigators at the Chinese Academy of Sciences have developed a novel biomimetic visual information spatiotemporal encoding method based on improved delayed phase encoding. This method has shown significant potential in integrating in vitro biological neural networks (BNNs) with robotic systems for information processing and adaptive learning in practical tasks. The
Artificial neural networks
Researchers have developed a series of deep neural networks that enable automatic non-rigid registration and cell identification in complex cellular tissues. The networks, trained in the context of freely moving and deforming invertebrate nervous systems, demonstrate high accuracy in aligning neurons over time and annotating cell types. The technology has
Artificial neural networks
Neuromorphic computing, a rapidly emerging field that draws inspiration from the brain, has made significant strides in recent years. Researchers at Tsinghua University, led by Yifei Yang, have made a groundbreaking discovery that challenges traditional understanding of neural networks. According to a recent study published in the journal Neuromorphic Computing
Artificial neural networks
Researchers have made a breakthrough in understanding human decision-making by combining artificial neural networks (ANNs) with symbolic regression. This approach allows for the extraction of an expressive and interpretable model that specifies how individuals evaluate decision-relevant information during choice. The model was able to account for behavior in the researchers&

Researchers are working to better understand the neurobiological aspects of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), which remains a complex condition due to its heterogeneity and the limitations of traditional neuroimaging methods. A recent study proposed a novel approach using interpretable graph neural networks (GNNs) to analyze inter-brain synchrony (IBS) during dyadic
Gene expression
AbbVie and ADARx Pharmaceuticals have announced a collaboration and license option agreement to develop small interfering RNA (siRNA) therapeutics across multiple disease areas, including neuroscience, immunology, and oncology. This partnership will leverage ADARx's RNA discovery expertise and proprietary siRNA technology, combined with AbbVie's expertise in antibody
Brain
Researchers from the University of Cambridge have introduced a novel concept, Neurosustainability, aiming to foster cognitive health and wellness by addressing contemporary neuroplasticity issues. According to the study, modern living has stalled the brain's adaptive capacities, but a conscious orchestration of natural laws into designed environments can sustain
Neurosciences
Human neuroscience has long pushed the boundaries of measurable data, but the last decade has seen growing concerns about statistical power and replicability. Researchers have emphasized the need for larger sample sizes to increase statistical power, but a systematic approach to precision has often been overlooked. This review highlights the

Aging is known to impair the physiologic ability of peripheral nerves to regenerate after injury, a phenomenon that is still incompletely characterized. Research on senescence-accelerated mice has revealed that aging influences the intraneural angiogenic response that occurs after injury and during regeneration of peripheral nerves. The study found that old
