Medical Xpress / Structural differences found in brains of people with panic disorder
Panic disorder (PD) is a mental health disorder characterized by recurring panic attacks, episodes of intense fear and anxiety accompanied by physical sensations and physiological responses such as a racing heart, shortness ...
Medical Xpress / Stimulating the central thalamus during anesthesia sheds light on neural basis of consciousness
The brains of mammals continuously combine signals originating from different regions to produce various sensations, emotions, thoughts and behaviors. This process, known as information integration, is what allows brain regions ...
Medical Xpress / One-third of dementia cases are linked to non brain-related diseases, study finds
Dementia is a term used to describe memory loss, impaired reasoning, difficulties communicating and other mental impairments that can be caused by Alzheimer's disease, other neurodegenerative disease, strokes, severe infections, ...
Phys.org / Ultra-thin metasurface can generate and direct quantum entanglement
Quantum technologies, devices and systems that process, store, detect, or transfer information leveraging quantum mechanical effects, have the potential to outperform classical technologies in a variety of tasks. An ongoing ...
Medical Xpress / Anticipating aging-related mental decline using saliva samples and AI
As humans age beyond early adulthood, their physical and mental functions tend to slowly worsen over time. One of the most common sources of severe mental decline in older adults are neurodegenerative diseases, conditions ...
Phys.org / Imaging the Wigner crystal state in a new type of quantum material
In some solid materials under specific conditions, mutual Coulomb interactions shape electrons into many-body correlated states, such as Wigner crystals, which are essentially solids made of electrons. So far, the Wigner ...
Medical Xpress / Exposing a 'mental trap': The hidden bias behind chronic indecision
Humans are required to make several decisions daily, from choosing what to eat at a restaurant to more crucial choices, such as the studies they wish to complete.
Tech Xplore / Training four-legged robots as if they were dogs
Over the next decades, robots are expected to make their way into a growing number of households, public spaces, and professional environments. Many of the most advanced and promising robots designed to date are so-called ...
Phys.org / Lab study suggests longer waves fracture floating ice sheets at lower stress
When waves are moving across ice-covered seas, they can cause sheets of ice to bend and ultimately break. Understanding the processes underlying these wave-induced ice fractures and predicting when they will occur could help ...
Tech Xplore / Brain-inspired hardware uses single-spike coding to run AI more efficiently
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) systems, such as the models underpinning the functioning of ChatGPT and various other online platforms, has grown exponentially over the past few years. Current hardware and electronic ...
Medical Xpress / Unveiling schizophrenia's neural and mental signatures with machine learning
Schizophrenia is a severe and often highly debilitating psychiatric disorder characterized by distorted emotions, thinking patterns and altered perceptions of reality, as well as mental impairments. This disorder typically ...
Tech Xplore / New light-emitting artificial neurons could run AI systems more reliably
Over the past decades, computer scientists have developed increasingly advanced artificial intelligence (AI) systems that perform well on various tasks, including the analysis or generation of images, videos, audio recordings ...
Phys.org / A new method to search for ultralight dark matter with advanced optical cavities
Dark matter is a mysterious type of matter that does not emit, absorb, or reflect light, yet is predicted to account for most of the universe's mass. While physicists have gathered extensive indirect evidence of its existence, ...
Medical Xpress / Procrastination in adulthood linked to brain development during adolescence
Procrastination, the tendency to unnecessarily delay or put off tasks even if this will have negative consequences, is a common behavior for many people. While occasionally delaying or putting off bothersome tasks is not ...
Phys.org / The first direct observation of a liquid charge density wave
Charge density waves (CDWs) are ordered, crystal-like patterns in the arrangement of electrons that spontaneously form inside some solid materials. These patterns can change how electricity flows through materials, in some ...
