In a first, memory shown to have two distinct past and future paths

Posted on October 24, 2023 by Bronwyn Thompson

For the first time, scientists have teased apart two parts of our memory that makes the all-important whole

For the first time, scientists have found that the region in our brain that houses memory is made up of not one but two sections: one that deals with past experiences of time and places, and one that is more predictive, and actively constructs future behaviors.

Surgery-free brain stimulation offers new hope for dementia treatment

Posted on October 20, 2023 by Bronwyn Thompson

It's hoped temporal interference brain stimulation can spark diseased neurons back to life

Scientists have completed a successful human trial using new high-frequency technology to stimulate neurons in the hippocampus, the area responsible for forming, organizing and retrieving memories. This non-invasive, painless treatment is now being trialed in older individuals with cognitive impairment, as a potential way to improve memory loss and function caused by Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia.

AI system does better than humans at identifying odors

Posted on August 31, 2023 by Michael Franco

A new computer-trained scent model has done better than humans at identifying odors. In analyzing 500,000 potential odor molecules that had never before been synthesized, it also handily did work that would take 70 person-years to complete.Continue Rea… Continue reading AI system does better than humans at identifying odors→

Text Compression Gets Weirdly Efficient With LLMs

Posted on August 27, 2023 by Donald Papp

It used to be that memory and storage space were so precious and so limited of a resource that handling nontrivial amounts of text was a serious problem. Text compression …read more Continue reading Text Compression Gets Weirdly Efficient With LLMs→

Grow-your-own stem cells may repair Parkinson’s damage

Posted on July 24, 2023 by Bronwyn Thompson

Parkinson's disease patients may one day use their own cells to regrow neurons

A new stem cell therapy for Parkinson’s disease is one step closer to human trials after scientists were able to successfully rebuild neural damage in an animal model.
