White matter pathways allow distant parts of the brain to communicate, supporting memory, emotion, and language. One such ...

When a magnet is heated up, it reaches a critical point where it loses magnetization. Called "criticality," this point of high complexity is reached when a physical object is transitioning smoothly ...

For the first time, scientists have unraveled the structure of proteins in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease. The findings provide clues into how these disease-causing proteins interact ...

Researchers examined anatomy of neurons from humans, mice and fruit flies. They discovered that the cellular structure of the brain is at a critical point, poised between two phases. New insights ...

Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive type of brain cancer that is known to be very difficult to treat. One reason why this ...

The largest neuroimaging study of conduct disorder to date has revealed extensive changes in brain structure among young people with the disorder. The largest difference was a smaller area of the ...

Forget crowd sizes — a new study confirms that conservatives boast slightly larger amygdalas, the part of the brain that plays a key role in identifying and reacting to potential threats, compared ...

Recent breakthroughs in artificial intelligence have uncovered surprising geometric structures within large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT. These findings offer a new perspective on how these ...
