The race to understand the brain has just crossed a new threshold, with a supercomputer-driven model that behaves less like a ...

Astrophysicists have always dreamed of running a simulation of the Milky Way that could track every single star—each orbit, flare, and explosion—without cutting corners. Now, a team in Japan has ...

This correspondence between brain state and brain responsiveness (statedependent responses) is outlined at different scales from the cellular and circuit level, to the mesoscale and macroscale level.

We conclude that brain states are shaped by local circuit mechanisms, large-scale connectivity and neuromodulation. A unified multiscale theory of cortical dynamics is relevant not only for ...

Creating a virtual brain may sound like a science-fiction nightmare, but for neuroscientists in Japan and at Seattle’s Allen Institute, it’s a big step toward a long-held dream. They say their ...

Almost a dozen rivers are under major flood conditions, with nearly 2 dozen experiencing some sort of flooding. by Hannah Everman, KOMO News Staff SEATTLE — No, there is not increased activity at ...

Since we can’t travel billions of years back in time — not yet, anyways — one of the best ways to understand how our universe evolved is to create computer simulations of the process using what we do ...

The neocortex generates periods of recurrent activity, such as the slow (0.1–0.5 Hz) oscillation during slow-wave sleep. Here we demonstrate that slices of ferret neocortex maintained in vitro ...

XR in Europe will never be the same. UnitedXR Europe opened its doors yesterday, welcoming thousands of attendees and hundreds of speakers from across the XR and spatial computing space. This truly ...

A lack of physical exercise is one of the main factors where the evidence is strong enough to show that it increases a person’s risk of developing dementia. Studies looking at the effect of exercise ...
