Machine learning is helping neuroscientists organize vast quantities of cells’ genetic data in the latest neurobiological cartography effort.

AI became powerful because of interacting mechanisms: neural networks, backpropagation and reinforcement learning, attention, training on databases, and special computer chips.

Investigators have identified patients who tested positive for the Epstein-Barr Virus 9 years after they were diagnosed with MS, challenging the prevailing notion that the virus precedes MS.

Health experts are questioning whether AI-generated search results are reliable enough to guide medical decisions.

Snakes may well be one of nature's greatest predators, capable of eating whole deer or even crocodiles, but just as impressive is that they can go months, or even a whole year, without a single meal.

Machine learning is the ability of a machine to improve its performance based on previous results. Machine learning methods enable computers to learn without being explicitly programmed and have ...
