Artificial intelligence insights into hippocampal processing

Just as the artificial intelligence agent muZero can learn in diverse environments without overgeneralizing, the mammalian extrahippocampal system (eHPCS) exhibits similar capabilities. Both muZero and the eHPCS employ general yet specific functions to adapt to changing contexts while encoding and processing information. By drawing parallels between muZero and the hippocampal system, researchers can gain insights […]

The Broken Brain Network: Understanding Altered Connectivity After Aneurysm

Imagine your brain as a bustling city, with different neighborhoods interconnected by highways and roads. When an artery aneurysm bursts in your brain, it can disrupt the flow of traffic and cause damage to specific areas. In this study, researchers investigated the effects of a ruptured anterior communicating artery aneurysm (ACoA) on the hippocampus, a […]

Uncovering Blood Clues to Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy

Imagine a detective trying to solve a complex case. They search for clues, gather evidence, and piece together the puzzle to find the truth. In a similar way, scientists are on the hunt for biomarkers – unique signs in our bodies that can reveal important information about diseases. Chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is one such […]
