The signals that drive many of the brain and body's most essential functions—consciousness, sleep, breathing, heart rate and motion—course through bundles of "white matter" fibers in the brainstem, ...

RIT researchers publish a paper in Nature Scientific Reports on a new tree-based machine learning algorithm used to predict chaos.

Small and dense but filled with vitally important neural fibers, the brainstem has been hard for brain imaging technologies to dissect. New software reliably and finely resolves eight distinct nerve ...
