Neuroscience News Magazine
5,227 FOLLOWERS
Neuroscience News is an online science magazine. We offer free to read research articles covering neuroscience, neurology, psychology, artificial intelligence, neurotechnology, robotics, deep learning, neurosurgery, mental health and more. Neuroscience News was started in 2001, considering the need for a science website that was dedicated strictly to neuroscience research news. To this day,..

Researchers developed a groundbreaking model called Brain Language Model (BrainLM) using generative artificial intelligence to map brain activity and its implications for behavior and disease. BrainLM leverages 80,000 scans from 40,000 subjects to create a foundational model that captures the dynamics of brain activity without the need for specific disease-related data ..read more

Researchers discovered significant metabolic changes that occur between birth and the onset of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) symptoms. This study reveals that a few biochemical pathways, related largely to the body's cell danger response, are responsible for the majority of these changes ..read more

Researchers uncovered a reciprocal relationship between depression and physical activity in adults. The findings reveal that current depression symptoms can deter physical activity years later, although the reverse isn't necessarily true—current inactivity doesn’t predict future depression symptoms ..read more
