Researchers report on why some people experience aphantasia, the inability to imagine in images. Read More
A new study reveals which parts of the brain are most able to exert cognitive control over actions and thoughts. Read More
Researchers have identified a new role for the cerebellum. Rather than just helping to control muscle activity, the cerebellum may also play a critical role in cognitive functions. Read More
A new study appears to support the neural noise hypothesis, which proposes the signal to noise ratio in neural circuits diminishes with aging. Read More
A new technique using phosphorus boosts the visibility of iron in the brain. Read More
According to researchers, age related changes in the organization of neural networks when performing short term memory tasks may help to compensate for other aspects of brain aging. Read More
According to a new study, a genetic variation in the FOXP2 gene is associated with the ability for adults to learn new languages. Read More
Researchers discover a gene already associated with longevity also improves memory and learning. The findings could help develop new treatments for cognitive decline. Read More
Using optical neuroimaging, researchers gain a better understanding of visual working memory in young children. Read More
A new study gives direct and clear new evidence that autism begins during pregnancy. Read More
Implanted engineered cells with fluorescent dyes which change color in response to dopamine and norepinephrine allows researchers to observe changes in neurosignalling in real time, a new study reports. Read More
