Researchers discover a link between reduced functional activation and reduced cortical thickness in the brains of patients with bipolar disorder.
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.
A new study reports on the role of the frontal cortex in visual perception and how it can leave out objects in plain sight.
Early-life exposure to antibiotics may impact brain signaling pathways associated with social behavior and pain regulation. Young mice treated with antibiotics had reduced expression of receptors that mediate endorphin, oxytocin, and vasopressin signaling in the frontal cortex.
Harsh noises, such as alarm bells and sirens, hold the brain's attention by stimulating its aversion networks.
A new study reveals how neurogranin and FMRP help encode memories of new places.
Researchers discover face pareidolia, a phenomenon where people 'see' faces on objects such as toast or in clouds, is based on physical causes.
Researchers have discovered a mechanism the brain uses to help compensate when noise obscures speech sounds.
tDCS may help retrain cognitive patterns associated with anxiety and depression, a new study reports.
A new study provides evidence for how the frontal cortex exerts control over thought and action.
Using fMRI neuroimaging, researchers pinpoint areas of the brain which are crucial for processing music.
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.
