Branching channel: A building block for tree-structured representations in the brain
Tree structures have been widely used to model intelligent behavior, such as reasoning, problem-solving, and language processing. However, whether our brain uses tree-structured representations is still controversial. In particu… More

Synaptic Strength Regulates Sleep Quantity and Quality
Sleep deprivation typically results in longer and deeper sleep, thereby maintaining overall sleep quantity and quality through homeostatic regulation. However, the specific mechanisms by which the brain monitors and controls sleep … More

The ‘neural clocks’ in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients are running short
Within the human brain, a region known as the left angular gyrus and the way that it “tracks time” have emerged as a crucial player in the development of Alzheimer's disease.
Tokyo, Japan - Alzheimer’s disease is in many ways like a clock whos… More

Predicting psychosis before it occurs: Brain images from thousands of people worldwide have been used to create a machine learning-based classifier that could aid early diagnosis
The onset of psychosis can be predicted before it occurs, using a machine-learning tool which can classify MRI brain scans into those who are healthy and those at risk of a psychotic episode. An international consortium including researc… More
