Researchers Find Brain Activity That May Mark the Beginning of Memories Tracking the brain activity of a rat as it stops to examine its environment, researchers believe they can mark where memory begins.
Most Comprehensive Wiring Diagram of Mammalian Brain to Date Researchers provide the first comprehensive data set on how the mammalian brain is wired.
A Critical Window into the Developing Human Brain New research details where genes are turned on in the brain during pregnancy. The study provides new insight into diseases such as autism and the origins of human uniqueness.
Researchers Pinpoint Neurons Where Select Memories Grow Researchers pinpoint a number of neurons in the brain where certain types of memory occur.
For Neurons in the Brain Identity Can Be Used to Predict Location Researchers develop a new mathematical model which uses gene expression data to predict where neurons are located throughout the brain.
Some Patients with Schizophrenia Have Impaired Ability to Imitate According to Study Researchers report patients with schizophrenia exhibit abnormal brain activity in areas associated with the ability to imitate.
Study First to Offer Detailed Map of Mouse Cerebral Cortex A new study identifies eight distinct neural sub-networks which form the connectivity infrastructure of the mammalian cerebral cortex.
A Road Map and Dictionary for the Brain Researchers produce a comprehensive atlas of neuroanatomical and computational centers in the brains of fruit flies.
Speech Means Using Both Sides of Our Brain New research alters previous conceptions about neurological activity, finding we use both sides of our brain for speech.
Research Team Reveals How Emotions Are Mapped in the Body Emotions trigger strong bodily sensations and the bodily maps for each sensation are topographically different for different emotions. The sensation patterns are consistent across different cultures, suggesting sensational patterns have a biological basis, researchers say.
Human Brain Development Is a Symphony in Three Movements Researchers conduct a large scale genetic analysis of the cerebral neocortex at different stages during development, from neonatal to adulthood.
Mapping Objects in the Brain Researcher report a brain region which responds to a particular category of objects consists of a small cluster of neurons which encodes the visual features of these objects.
Recurring Memory Traces Boost Long Lasting Memories A new study indicates periods of rest can help boost memory performance.
Brain Connectivity Study Reveals Striking Differences Between Men and Women Using neuroimaging technology, researchers reveal striking differences in brain connectivity between men and women.
Memories Are Geotagged with Spatial Information A new study which used a video game where people navigate through a virtual town helps researchers to pinpoint how spatial information is incorporated into memory, and why remembering a specific experience can trigger memories of events which occurred in the same location.
