The frequent occurrence of a pattern in a network, however, is not strictly correlated with a biological function. Network topologies reflect evolutionary origins and therefore the selection of ...

Patterns of brain connectivity take us a step closer to understanding the key principles of cognition. The patterns created by neurons in the brain can be used to shine a light on how the brain ...

In essence, it’s a type of symmetry breaking. Any two processes that act as activator and inhibitor will produce periodic ...

Neuroscientists have identified face-recognition areas based on what parts of the brain they link to. For more than a decade, neuroscientists have known that many of the cells in a brain region called ...

New research has uncovered shared patterns between ribosomal RNAs and genes linked to brain disorders, including autism, ...

December 29, 2011 — A study of relatively healthy elderly adults found that those with diets rich in several vitamins or omega-3 fatty acids had better cognitive function and less brain atrophy ...

Most people rarely think about how they breathe unless experiencing respiratory distress. Yet emerging research suggests that the pathway through which we inhale and exhale – nose versus mouth – ...

Following the course of lung function in treatment-naïve patients, researchers found that lung function decline does not accelerate prior to mechanical ventilation. Patterns in the decline of lung ...

A new study sheds light on sleep and cognitive changes in older adults. Namely, sleeping for a short amount of time and sleep variability were linked to poor cognitive function, the authors reported.
