Researchers report playing 3D video games can help boost memory formation.
Researchers detect lingering changes in resting-state connectivity in the brain which occur when someone reads a "life changing" novel.
The deletion of the autism-associated Tbx1 gene results in slower cognitive processing and decreased myelin in mouse models.
A new study reports higher cognitive skills in children with mothers who support the development of their sense of autonomy.
Our brains could process new situations by relying on a method similar to a "pointer" system used by computers, new research suggests.
Researchers investigate how high level cognitive processing occurs by looking at how different brain regions are connected.
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.
Cannabis use leads to cognitive impairments that extend beyond the period of intoxication.
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.
Researchers have mapped four new areas of the human anterior prefrontal cortex that play critical roles in cognitive processing. Two of these newly mapped areas are larger in females than in males.
Researchers describe what happens in the brain just prior to making a decision.
Researchers shed light on how sensory information and cognitive processing interact in the brain to produce our perception of the world around us.
