Mathematical models can be useful to developmental biologists, in particular in helping to bridge the gap in understanding between proposed molecular interactions inside and between cells and their ...

It’s hard for a neurosurgeon to navigate a brain. A key challenge is gooeyness. The brain is immersed in cerebrospinal fluid; when a surgeon opens the skull, pressure is released, and parts of the ...

The cover art for the roadmap – "Two Beasts" by artist Ben Day Todd – was chosen as an apt metaphor for the beautiful, strange and evolving relationship between mathematics and cancer. (Courtesy: Ben ...

Veronika Koren talks about pursuing a theory of neural coding that doesn’t fit a simple narrative, and the resilience it took to see it through.

Reproducible scientific results are not always true and true scientific results are not always reproducible, according to a mathematical model. Reproducible scientific results are not always true and ...

Scientists have developed a mathematical model that predicts how the number and effects of bacterial mutations leading to drug resistance will influence the success of antibiotic treatments.

Last week, Google Research held an online workshop on the conceptual understanding of deep learning. The workshop, which featured presentations by award-winning computer scientists and neuroscientists ...

Scientists, as they are wont to do, have analyzed the way spaghetti curls as it cooks. Researchers Nathaniel Goldberg and Oliver O'Reilly, of U.C. Berkeley’s Department of Mechanical Engineering, used ...
