Dialog / Can society's emotional climate be reflected in individual brain function?

For years, I have been interested in disorders in which patients experience very real symptoms even though conventional brain imaging may look normal. Molecular imaging has taught me a simple lesson: what is invisible anatomically ...

Phys.org / AI pinpoints when fish reach their thermal limit

Researchers have developed an AI-based system that automatically and objectively detects the moment when fish experience loss of equilibrium (LOE) due to temperature stress. The system combines DeepLabCut, a deep-learning ...
