A new study reports the ability to modulate brain activity when it comes to shutting off processes irrelevant to a task may be compromised in older people.
Technological advances allow researchers to observe how the brain processes semantic information.
A new study reveals the amygdala has distinct neurons that can judge ambiguity and intensity of facial expressions.
According to researchers, brain signals in specific brain areas change during a lifespan in ways that could be vital for maintaining flexibility.
A new Journal of Neuroscience study reveals the activation of a brain area associated with reward response early in the afternoon.
Researchers have identified a source of spontaneous bursts of neural activity in the brains of preterm babies.
According to a new study that will be presented at RSNA 2017, neurofeedback may help to reduce and, in some cases, eliminate tinnitus.
Researchers report the amygdala may play a bigger role in facial recognition than previously thought. According to a new study, the amygdala responds more specifically to images of the face than the fusiform face area does.
Researchers investigate how brain networks fragment while under a variety of unconscious states.
A new study may provide key insights into the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. Researchers report people with higher levels of amyloid beta showed less activity in brain areas associated with working memory when engaged in cognitively demanding tasks.
Exposing crocodiles to a variety of auditory and visual stimuli while in an MRI, researchers discover their brain processing patterns resemble that of other mammals and birds. The researchers speculate the fundamental mechanisms of sensory processing were formed at an early evolutionary stage.
A new neuroimaging study reveals every person has unique brain anatomy. The uniqueness is a result of a combination of genetic factors and life experiences, researchers report.
