Brain diseases like Alzheimer's and CTE have something in common: clumps of a protein called tau. These clumps are a big deal in these diseases. Scientists have been trying to figure out how to stop these clumps from forming. One thing they've noticed is that when a specific spot on the tau protein,
Brain diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's are tough to treat. Scientists have tried many things, but nothing has worked really well. Now, they are looking at new ways to get medicine to the brain. One idea is to use the nose! Yes, the nose! This method is not invasive and can help the medicine
Brain tests, or cognitive assessments, are not as straightforward as they seem. They aim to measure how well our brains function, but various factors can skew the results. These factors include where a person lives, their native language, and their level of education. To tackle this issue, the Harmo
Brain-inspired computers, called Spiking Neural Networks (SNNs), are great for low-power devices like wearables and sensors. But one key part, the leaky time constant (LTC), hasn't been fully studied. The LTC helps these computers process information over time. Scientists tested how changing the LTC
Brain waves are like whispers from our minds, but they often get lost in the noise. EEG machines try to capture these whispers, but they frequently pick up static too. This static can come from bad connections, movement, or just too much background noise. Usually, scientists throw out the noisy part
Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are making waves, but they're not perfect. The current tech, which relies on EEGs, is a bit of a mystery. It's like having a puzzle with missing pieces. You see the big picture, but you're not sure how it all fits together. The main issue? EEGs pick up brain signals
Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are like translators between our brains and machines. They need to be super accurate to be useful. But, using just one type of model to read brain signals isn't always the best. That's where hybrid models come in. They combine different types of models to get better
Brain chips are making waves in the world of medical tech. They help people with disabilities move and communicate by connecting their brains to computers. But there's a catch—the brain isn't static. It changes over time, so these chips need frequent updates. Enter DMM-WcycleGAN, a new algorithm des
Brain tumors, specifically glioma, are a big deal. They're the most common type of nasty tumor that can grow in the brain. Scientists have been digging into the role of super-enhancers, which are like the brain's way of turning genes on and off. These super-enhancers are crucial because they control
Brain tumors, specifically glioma, are a big problem. They start in the support cells of the brain and can be very serious. Doctors have tried many treatments like surgery, drugs, and radiation, but these tumors often come back. So, what's going on? One key player in this is something called TGF-β.
