Tracking longitudinal measurements of growth and decline in lung function in patients with persistent childhood asthma may reveal links between asthma and subsequent chronic airflow obstruction.

"We do not yet know what the possible biological function of this might be. There should be a reason for the patterns, we just have not discovered it yet," says associate professor Adam Cohen ...

The frequent occurrence of a pattern in a network, however, is not strictly correlated with a biological function. Network topologies reflect evolutionary origins and therefore the selection of ...

The patterns created by neurons in the brain can be used to shine a light on how the brain functions, and take us a step closer to creating intelligent robots, scientists claim. Publishing their ...

This method could also be used to determine relationships between structure and function in other parts of the brain. To map the brain's connectivity patterns, the researchers used a technique ...
