Researchers have developed TD-MCL, a spiking neural network framework inspired by how infant brains grow and prune synapses. The method enables AI to learn new tasks without forgetting old ones while ...

Brain growth and maturation doesn't progress in a linear, stepwise fashion. Instead, it's a dynamic, choreographed sequence that shifts in response to genetics and external stimuli like sight and ...

In the Alzheimer’s disease brain, synaptic loss correlates with cognitive decline, and is considered a sign of disease progression. But is synaptic loss always bad? Provocative new data from several ...

It’s not so easy being an adolescent these days. We become aware of the world around us, are flooded with input through digital media about our extended global family, and learn about the world’s ...

The early postnatal period is crucial for brain development and understanding neurodevelopmental disorders. This study examines spatial brain network development in early infancy, a less-explored area ...
