A new study reports higher cognitive skills in children with mothers who support the development of their sense of autonomy. Read More
Our brains could process new situations by relying on a method similar to a "pointer" system used by computers, new research suggests. Read More
Researchers investigate how high level cognitive processing occurs by looking at how different brain regions are connected. Read More
A new study offers insight into how a well-connected core brain network in the lateral prefrontal cortex and posterior parietal cortex, help coordinate the brain’s response to novel cognitive challenges. Read More
Researchers reveal eating nuts can help enhance cognitive function, learning and sleep. The study reveals pistachios produce the greatest gamma waves response, and peanuts produce an enhanced delta brain wave response. Read More
Researchers describe what happens in the brain just prior to making a decision. Read More
Area 32, a region of the anterior cingulate, balances activity from cognitive and emotional areas of the primate brain. Read More
Internal experiences, such as recalling personal memories, are associated with the simultaneous activity of at least three different cognitive systems, a new study reports. Read More
A new study sheds light into how we recognize facial expressions of emotion. Researchers report our interpretation of emotions expressed facially by others depends upon our pre-conceived understanding of emotion. Read More
A new study reports impairments in six brain networks are associated with addiction behaviors. The findings may pave the way for developing more targeted treatments for addiction. Read More
