Researchers report they can use brain activation patterns to identify complex thoughts. Their findings suggest the building blocks for complex human thoughts are not word based, but formed by the brain's sub systems. The study provides evidence that the neural dimensions of concept representation are universal across people and languages.
A new study reports a short burst of exercise can dramatically improve long term retention of new motor skills.
Amyloid beta deposits influence brain activity during sleep and impair memory formation.
Fetal exposure to SRI antidepressants may affect the brain activity in newborns, a new study reports.
Alterations in a gene associated with autism spectrum disorders changes the way in which brain cells grow and communicate, a new study reports.
Researchers detect measurable similarities in brain activity between babies and adults during play.
It may be possible to buffer against developing depression and anxiety by boosting brain activity in areas associated with problem solving, a new study reports.
Higher activity in the anterior prefrontal cortex was associated with more resilience to the effects of post-traumatic stress.
A new mathematical approach is able to predict the severity of autism traits from brain activity data.
Machine learning study reveals that, much like genetics, brain connectivity patterns are passed down from parents to children.
According to researchers, people with diabetes may be at increased risk of suffering from depression as a result of biological problems in regulating sugar levels that influence emotional response in the brain. Using EEG, researchers discovered those with higher levels of insulin resistance showed greater response to negative images.
Study finds a link between post-traumatic brain activity and an increase in anxiety symptoms six months after a traumatic event.
