UC Santa Cruz neuroscientists aiming to better understand how specific brain connectivity contributes to perception, thoughts, and behavior are leveraging artificial intelligence to enhance their study of brain function. By integrating AI, they are streamlining the process of aligning thin slices of mouse brain tissue with a reference atlas, helping to identify key details such as the brain region of origin more efficiently.

It’s time to spring forward. At 2 a.m. Sunday, we set the clocks ahead one hour for daylight saving time—meaning we all lose that dreaded hour of sleep.

Updated results of an Australian trial which used liquid biopsies to guide colon cancer treatment has confirmed no compromise in outcomes despite these ctDNA blood tests allowing many patients to avoid chemotherapy.

A drug developed at The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UT Health San Antonio) has been shown to extend survival for patients with glioblastoma, the most common primary brain tumor in adults.

Social media is awash with images of surfers chasing waves as Cyclone Alfred whips up seas off Australia’s east coast.

The Federated European Genome-phenome Archive (FEGA) is transforming how sensitive human genomic data is shared and accessed. Building on the longstanding European Genome-phenome Archive (EGA)—a database for human genetic, phenotypic, and clinical data—FEGA enables researchers to securely discover and analyze human genomic data while ensuring compliance with national and international data protection regulations.

A study published in The Lancet Regional Health—Americas highlights a growing divide in cardiovascular health in the U.S., showing that wealth and education play a significant role in heart disease risk.

Within weeks, the future of telehealth coverage under Medicare will be decided, as pandemic-era flexibilities either expire or Congress acts to extend them or make them permanent.

On any given day, nearly 20% of patients seen by the Sports Medicine team at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles are children with concussions. That’s not surprising, given that nationwide, up to 1.9 million youth a year experience this mild traumatic brain injury.

Research led by Westlake Laboratory of Life Sciences and Biomedicine in China has found that inadequate sleep duration and late sleep onset are associated with increased glycemic variability in adults. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) data revealed that those with persistent short sleep and late bedtimes experienced greater glycemic variability in blood glucose levels, which may have implications for diabetes prevention and management.
