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.
Too much uncontrolled brain activity in specific areas could lead to cognitive impairments, a new study reveals.
A new study uncovers the mechanism behind cognitive dissonance.
Researchers believe their findings could change the way scientists understand how the brain works.
A new study outlines how researchers have been able to deliver concentrated amounts of drugs directly into the brains of rats by using ultrasound.
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.
Researchers use fast fMRI to track the brain activity that occurs during thought. The study could be a significant step toward mapping the neural networks responsible for attention, perception and other cognitive functions.
Alterations in a gene associated with autism spectrum disorders changes the way in which brain cells grow and communicate, a new study reports.
Researchers report people with insomnia showed altered brain activity in areas associated with self awareness and the tendency to ruminate, compared to those who sleep well.
Researchers have developed a new approach to imaging the functional activity of fetal brains, allowing a better look at how functional brain networks develop.
Researchers have created a new math model that successfully reproduces complex brain activity during deep sleep.
A new study sheds light on numerous functions of our circadian clock, from how the brain maintains performance during the day to how shift workers struggle to maintain attention during early morning hours.
