Cerebral blood flow is reduced in the Broca's area of people who stutter, researchers report. Additionally, the more severely a person stutters, the less blood flows to this area of the brain.
A new study outlines how researchers have been able to deliver concentrated amounts of drugs directly into the brains of rats by using ultrasound.
Researchers believe their findings could change the way scientists understand how the brain works.
A new study uncovers the mechanism behind cognitive dissonance.
Too much uncontrolled brain activity in specific areas could lead to cognitive impairments, a new study reveals.
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 sheds light on how neurons in the motor cortex communicate with muscles and drive motion. Using optogenetics, the researchers discovered the motor cortex communicates with muscles differently, depending on the type of movement an animal makes.
A large scale SPECT imaging study reveals women's brains are significantly more active in more regions than males, including the prefronal cortex and limbic areas. Visual and areas associated with coordination were more active in males, researchers noted.
Researchers have identified a source of spontaneous bursts of neural activity in the brains of preterm babies.
Researchers report distinctive alterations in brain activity in college students who binge drink. The findings suggest binge drinking can impact brain development and the altered activity may indicate early signs of brain damage.
Machine learning study reveals that, much like genetics, brain connectivity patterns are passed down from parents to children.
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.
