To determine the levels and patterns of physical activity in a sample of obese (≥99th percentile body mass index (BMI)) and nonobese (<99th percentile BMI) children. Children were recruited from ...

Objectives: Accelerometry was used to assess the relationship between the physical activity level (PAL) and time spent on activities of various intensities in children. Design: A total of 20 children ...

A new study has found that neuronal population dynamics in the motor cortex are very different during reaching and grasping behavior, challenging a popular theory that indicated intrinsic, dynamic ...

Brigham researchers found an association between alterations in circadian rest-activity rhythms and risk of frailty incidence in older adults. Wearable devices can be used to measure a variety of ...

A key challenge in the effort to link brain activity with behavior is that brain activity, measured by functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), for instance, is extraordinarily complex. That ...

A brain activity pattern correlated with development of schizophrenia has been identified by MIT neuroscientists working with researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Brigham and Women's ...

Scientists have used artificial intelligence (AI) to recreate the complex neural codes that the brain uses to navigate through space. The feat demonstrates how powerful AI algorithms can assist ...

This post has been updated. Certain patterns of genetic activity appear to be common among five distinct psychiatric disorders — autism, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression and alcoholism — ...
