Researchers discuss how mimicking sleep patterns of the human brain in artificial neural networks may help mitigate the threat of catastrophic forgetting in the latter, boosting their utility across a spectrum of research interests.
Washington [US], July 11 (ANI): According to a new study each person's gut is home to 500 to 1,000 different bacterial species, which might total 100,000 trillion germs. Researchers from the University of California San Diego School of Medicine used mouse models to examine how diet and feeding habits affect these intestinal microbes and the health of the hosts, particularly with obesity and type 2 diabetes.
Washington [US], July 10 (ANI): Researchers provide some of the first empirical evidence that brain ripples exist. These electrical waves have long been hypothesized as a way for the brain to integrate and encode memories.
Washington [US], July 9 (ANI): Neuroscientists have recently been able to find out how individuals have been employing mindfulness meditation to try to reduce their suffering for generations.
Washington [US], June 13 (ANI): Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common pediatric liver disease, affecting 5 to 8 million children in the United States. In NAFLD, the cells of the liver store large fat droplets, which can affect the function of the liver.
San Diego (California) [US], April 29 (ANI): According to a new study, chronic pain spinal cord stimulation (SCS) uses an implanted device to supply a small amount of electricity directly to the spinal cord, altering or blocking nerve activity and minimizing the sensation of pain reaching the brain.
