Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of disability and a risk factor for early-onset dementia. The injury is characterized by a physical insult followed acutely by complement driven neuroinflammation.
Study shows how mutant huntingtin protein triggers brain cell death In 1993, scientists discovered that a single mutated gene, HTT, caused Huntington's disease, raising high hopes for a quick cure. Yet today, there's still no approved treatment. One difficulty has been a limited understanding of how the mutant huntingtin protein sets off brain cell death, says neuroscientist Srinivasa Subramaniam, Ph.D., of Scripps Research, Florida. In a new study published in Nature Communications on Friday, Subramaniam's group has shown that the mutated huntingtin protein slows brain cells' protein-buildi...
Apparently our host body, who up until this point I figured was a workaholic with a poor diet who smokes and drinks, also has questionable hygiene habits.
Scientists seek to enhance artificial intelligence by integrating brain cells With a new grant from the U.S. Army, a team of scientists will seek to enhance artificial intelligence by integrating brain cells called astrocytes. By encoding a feature of biological intelligence called reinforcement learning, in which we iteratively learn from successes and failures, "deep neural networks" (DNNs) have revolutionized artificial intelligence with spectacular demonstrations of mastery in Chess and Go. But they struggle to deal with the real-world problems encountered daily by humans and other animal...
Seeing this entire cast espouse the sacred duty of fornication for 20 minutes is, figuratively and literally, fucking hilarious.
