Although no two brains are alike, they can display a comparable pattern of neural activity when exposed to similar sensory input. Max Planck scientists have now developed a mathematical method to design networks from neural cells which exhibit a predefined pattern dynamics. The researchers hope that their method will assist them in getting closer to understanding which of the possible network … Continue reading…

A score that measures the proteomic profile of amniotic fluid may predict inflammation before delivery. Researchers from Yale University assess whether scores set on protein markers closely associated with inflammation in the amniotic fluid — the “Mass Restricted” (MR) score — are associated with the outcome of pregnancy; the presence of infection in the placenta, and severe infection in the … More details…
