Researchers give more insight into significance of sleep, intricacy of brain

A group of academics from the arts and sciences came up with a theory that may account for the complexity of the brain as well as the importance of sleep. In order to demonstrate that the brain must periodically reset its operating system, researchers recently recorded the brain activity of...

Artificial intelligence decreases barrier to treating ultrasonic brain illness

Focused ultrasound technology is a non-invasive therapy procedure that employs ultrasound energy to treat neurological problems by focusing it on a few millimetres of the brain, even deep regions, without opening the skull. It has been used to treat a variety of refractory brain illnesses, including depression and Alzheimer's disease...

Discovery of brain cells raises hopes for fertility treatments
