Unraveling the Molecular Mysteries of Neuronal Plasticity

Understanding why the brain’s ability to adapt decreases with age is like figuring out why a rubber band loses its stretchiness over time. In this study, researchers delved into the genetic and epigenetic changes that occur in the supraoptic nucleus – a region responsible for regulating important brain functions. By analyzing the transcriptome (all the […]

Pre-burst Suppression: A Peek into the Brain’s Calm Before the Storm

Imagine a storm brewing on the horizon. First, there is a moment of calm and stillness, right before the winds pick up and the dark clouds take over. In a similar vein, researchers have discovered a fascinating brain state called pre-burst suppression (preBSup) that occurs just before the onset of burst suppression (BSup) – a […]

An improved fused feature residual network for 3D point cloud data

Imagine point clouds as a collection of stars in the night sky, each point representing a star. Just as astronomers study constellations to understand the universe, researchers analyze point clouds for a variety of applications. To make sense of these dense data sets, scientists have developed a revolutionary network called the improved fused feature residual […]
