A new study has identified the two areas of the brain responsible for our perception of orientation and shape. Research found that the two neighbouring areas, known as human visual field maps, process the different types of visual information independently.
It’s something we just accept: the fact that the older we get, the more difficulty we seem to have remembering...
Using several neuroimaging methods, a team of researchers working at the University of Western Ontario have now uncovered that functional changes within a key brain network occur directly after a 30-minute session of noninvasive, neural-based training.
Reading P300 brain waves of people concealing information allows researchers to reliably predict the concealed information.
The world's first basic research institute for childhood neurological diseases opened in Houston, Texas and is part of the Texas Children's Hospital. Some of the research the new research insitute will focus on includes childhood neurological diseases such as autism, epilepsy, Rett syndrome, cerebral palsy, ataxias and Batten disease. More details about the new institute are provided in the press release below.
Have you ever wondered why you can remember things from long ago as if they happened yesterday, yet sometimes can't recall what you ate for dinner last night? A new study suggests it's because how much something means to you actually influences how you see it as well as how vividly you can recall it later.
The part of the brain we use when engaging in egalitarian behavior may also be linked to a larger sense...
New research from Uppsala University shows that a specific brain region linked to appetite regulation is reduced in elderly people...
Using MEG brain scans, which are a speedier alternative to fMRI, researchers are discovering new insights into how brain regions work together.
Visual working memory not as specialized in the brain as visual encoding, study finds. Researchers have long known that specific...
Our baseline level of distrust is distinct and separable from our inborn lie detector. Fool me once, shame on you....
Researchers can control the behavior of monkeys by using pulses of blue light to very specifically activate particular brain cells. The findings represent a key advance for optogenetics, a state-of-the-art method for making causal connections between brain activity and behavior. Researchers say that similar light-based mind control could likely also be made to work in humans for therapeutic ends.
