Fear and anxiety share overlapping neural circuits. The findings contradict the popular belief that anxiety and fear are distinct emotions with different triggers and segregated brain circuits. Read More
fMRI study reveals dogs do not have a specific face area similar to that of primates. Dogs' brain activity showed little response to faces but increased in response to seeing another dog over a human. Read More
Women who experience unexplained repeated pregnancy loss (uRPL) process olfactory signals related to male body odor differently to other women. Those who experience uRPL are better able to identify the smell of their spouse. Read More
Neuroimaging study ties the degradation of circuitry in one area of the brain to reduced efficiency of executive function in older adults. Read More
Young adults with the Alzheimer's associated ApoE gene had differences in brain activity when presented with memory tasks. Read More
Data collected from smartphones can accurately predict connectivity between brain regions associated with emotional processing. Analyzing cellphone data, such as social activity, screen time, and location, alongside fMRI brain scans, researchers found smartphone data activity mirrors brain activity associated with depression and anxiety.

Time-sensitive neuron fatigue in the supramarginal gyrus skew how we perceive time. Read More
Study reveals binge drinking is associated with more widespread neural dysfunction than previously believed. In those who binge drink, the visual areas of the brain show unusually high levels of activation. Additionally, those who binge drink have more difficulty in feeling empathy for others. Read More
Unlike adults, infants and young children use both hemispheres of their brain to process language. Read More
Neuroimaging and computational neuroscience studies reveal different ways and brain areas implicated in decision making. Read More
Neuroimaging study reveals how human brain complexity and cognitive flexibility develops during early infancy. Read More
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.
