Body temperature exerts a greater effect on longevity and lifespan than metabolic rate, researchers report.
A new study examines how the hormone oxytocin helps to mediate social interactions.
Perception of social interactions unfolds through pupil dilation. The findings shed light on the visual system's role in sensitivity to social interactions.
People who display high schizotypal traits are more likely to perceive effort-reward imbalance. Researchers found a link between effort-reward imbalance and reduced gray matter volume, and altered resting-state functional connectivity in those with schizotypal traits.
Contrary to popular belief, a child's visual perception does not reach adult level at age seven. A new study reveals children's visual perception continues to develop and does not reach maturity until age ten.
Amotivation and anhedonia rather than expressive dysfunction play a critical role in determining social functioning in those with schizophrenia.
Findings suggest humans have a stereo sense of smell that subconsciously guides navigation.
Exposure to high static magnetic fields alleviated anxiety and improved both spatial and social memory in mice within two months of exposure.
Researchers have uncovered the neural mechanism underlying rumination. The study reports when rumination occurs, coupling between the core and medial temporal lobe subsystems of the default mode network becomes elevated, while coupling between the core and dorsomedial prefrontal cortex decreases.
The aged non-human primate hippocampus showed signs of increased inflammation, genomic and epigenomic instability, and a loss of proteostasis.
Both those with schizophrenia and those with social anhedonia have alterations in the social brain network and a diminished correlation with real-world social network size.
A study recently published in Neuron may provide new insights into how memory forms in the brain. Researchers discovered acquired olfactory memory is associated with synaptic long term potentiation, which can last for at least two weeks.
