A Northwestern Medicine study has shed light on one of the most intricate construction projects in biology: how cells build ...
DNA's iconic double helix does more than "just" store genetic information. Under certain conditions, it can temporarily fold ...
Closely related subtypes of dopamine-releasing neurons may play entirely separate roles in processing sensory information, depending on their physical structure. New research from the Institute of ...
From electronic health records and blood tests to the stream of data from wearable devices, the amount of health information people generate is accelerating rapidly. Yet, many users struggle to ...
Abstract: Nonlinear activation function is the most essential factor that enables Hopfield neural networks (HNNs) to generate complex dynamics. However, less attention has been paid to the activation ...
This work demonstrates an objective way to select parameter values for a quadratic integrate-and-fire model so that its bifurcation diagram matches a specific target diagram, generated from the ...
Not revised: This Reviewed Preprint includes the authors’ original preprint (without revision), an eLife assessment, public reviews, and a provisional response from the authors. From a big picture ...
If we can fully map the structure of our brains, will we be able to understand how they work? That is the goal of researchers attempting to build a wiring diagram, or connectome, of our neural ...
Your brain ventricles are four fluid-filled chambers that produce cerebrospinal fluid. This fluid helps nourish your brain and protect it from injury. It would be easy to argue that your brain is the ...
Today’s vehicles are designed to maximize fuel economy in numerous ways. One such feature is the automatic start/stop function that shuts off the engine when your car is idling and restarts it when ...
