A new study may provide key insights into the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. Researchers report people with higher levels of amyloid beta showed less activity in brain areas associated with working memory when engaged in cognitively demanding tasks.
Researchers have identified how specific brain areas change over time in patients with Parkinson's disease.
Researchers shed light on the neural networks that appear to govern human consciousness.
Several specific regions of our brains are activated in a two-part process when we are exposed to deceptive advertising, according...
A new study shows how new linguistic information is integrated into the same brain areas used for your native language.
By looking at how the brain responds to video clips, researchers are able to determine who your friends may be, a new study reveals.
Researchers have identified the different brain regions and interactions involved in accents and impersonations.
Researchers have discovered that crossmodal mappings can be used by assistive devices to help the blind detect their environment without requiring intensive training.
Following targeted motor and sensory reinnervation, a procedure that reroutes residual limb nerves to intact muscles and skin in amputees, the brain remaps both motor and sensory pathways. Additionally, researchers note, TMSR may help counteract poorly adapted cortical plasticity following amputation.
According to a new Journal of Neuroscience report, an underdeveloped brain network underlying inhibition after the age of 30 is associated with increased self reporting of psychological problems such as anxiety and depression.
Specific Reading Comprehension Deficits (S-RCD), a common reading disorder often goes undiagnosed until it becomes problematic, according to a new study.
