A new study reveals how neurogranin and FMRP help encode memories of new places. Read More
A new study reports on the role of the frontal cortex in visual perception and how it can leave out objects in plain sight. Read More
Mouse study reveals slow-wave brain activity, which is indicative of sleep and resting states, is controlled by the claustrum. The synchronization of active and silent states across the brain via the slow waves contributes to consciousness. 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
Nineteen gene sets have been identified that contribute to at least five psychiatric disorders. The gene sets were associated with ADHD, ASD, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, and schizophrenia. Read More
A family with a rare genetic mutation are helping researchers answer important questions about how the human brain is wired. The family, who share an altered copy of the DCC gene, have less connectivity between areas where dopamine neurons originate and their target sites. Read More
When making complex decisions, the brain performs two computations using distributed network areas in the frontal cortex. Read More
Researchers may have solved one of the great mysteries of neuroscience; namely, why neurons in the temporal lobe are the first to die in Alzheimer's disease, and why dopaminergic neurons are damaged first in Parkinson's. Read More
Researchers discover face pareidolia, a phenomenon where people 'see' faces on objects such as toast or in clouds, is based on physical causes. Read More
Using optical neuroimaging, researchers gain a better understanding of visual working memory in young children. Read More
A new study reports neuroinflammation could have a direct involvement in the development of CTE. Read More
