In recent years, machine learning techniques have accelerated and innovated research in numerous fields, including neuroscience. By identifying patterns in experimental data, these models could for instance predict the neural ...
An experimental vaccine for Marburg virus—a deadly cousin of the infectious agent that causes Ebola—can protect large animals from severe infections for up to a year with a single shot, scientists have found in a new ...
Past research in the field of neuroscience suggests that specific types of cells can contribute to the development of psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia. However, identifying the types of cells that may play a ...
Bone tissue engineering (BTE) is an evolving field at the intersection of materials science and bioengineering, focused on the development of bone substitute materials and diagnostic methods in orthopedics. At present, physicians ...
Given the known risks of consuming high amounts of sugar, today many people are looking for alternative sweeteners that produce a similar taste without prompting significant weight gain and causing other health issues. While ...
Layer 6b, the deepest layer of the mammalian brain's cortex, has recently been the focus of numerous neuroscience studies. Despite the interesting findings gathered in recent years, the role of this deep cortical layer remains ...
An experimental vaccine against human papillomavirus—HPV—appears to be safe, and most importantly, benefits patients who develop a rare airway cancer that manifests as recurrent obstructive growths requiring dozens, sometimes, ...
If you've ever tried to tickle yourself, you may not have succeeded. This is due to your nervous system suppressing the expected sensation of your own actions, a mechanism known as tactile gating. Until now, this mechanism ...
Two experimental malaria vaccines are not only safe for humans, one of those immunizations prompted a slowing of the malaria parasite's replication in the bloodstream of clinical trial participants, scientists have found ...
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, using N95 face masks became routine. Researchers at the Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine, China, wanted to know how long durations of mask-wearing might affect health.
