Neuroimaging study sheds light on what drove the evolutionary development of human creativity. Read More
Using neuroimaging and EEG technology to analyze the brains of jazz musicians during improvisation, researchers shed light on which side of the brain controls creativity. Musicians relatively inexperienced at improvisation rely on the right hemisphere for creativity. More experienced improvisational jazz musicians show more activity in the left hemisphere when being creative. Read More
Not only does exercise help burn those extra calories, but it can also have a protective effect against overeating, a new study reports. Read More
A new brain training game in which players navigate a grocery store, earning rewards for selecting healthy food options, may help to reduce the desire to give into sugar cravings. Participants who had higher initial preferences for sugary foods lost as much as 3.1% body weight following daily gameplay. Read More
Researchers report the different cognitive styles of creative and analytical thinkers are a result of fundamental differences in neural activity that can be observed when people are not working on a problem. Read More
Transcranial magnetic stimulation allows researchers to better understand how brain networks interact to make word choice decisions. Read More
Researchers discover a correlation between clinical symptoms of PTSD, depression and anxiety in visual self expression masks service members were asked to create during art therapy. Read More
By transplanting V2a interneurons, researchers improved respiratory function in mice with spinal cord injuries, a new study reports. Read More
A neuroimaging study reveals brain areas not commonly associated with science learning become active when people complete physics problems. Read More
Study shows pilots in real flight conditions made more errors and had higher anterior prefrontal cortex activation than those who were placed in a simulator, when completing cognitively demanding tasks. Read More
A new study reports researchers have successfully reversed memory loss in fly models of Alzheimer's disease by restoring the balance between to enzymes that regulate gene expression. Read More
Drexel University researchers reveal that while evolution may have allowed for bigger brains, some regions may not have kept up with the growth. Read More
