Video game players are faster and more accurate in their responses, and excel at decision-making tasks. The differences in accuracy and reaction time correlated with enhanced brain activity.
A new study reveals salt intake decreases blood flow in the hypothalamus as neurons activate.
Vibration training not only improved physical symptoms associated with multiple sclerosis, but it also improved cognitive functions including memory capacity and executive function.
Singing and imagined musical improvisation were associated with weaker connectivity to the executive function network in the brain and to the feeling of flow, which allows for unhindered musical creativity.

Mice exposed to COVID-19 through the nasal passage, researchers noted a rapid and escalated attack on the brain by the virus that triggered a more severe outcome of the infection, even after the lungs were cleared of the disease. Researchers also found virus levels were over 1,000 times higher in the brain than other parts of the body.
Our brains work harder to process information when we read about movement in a way that is not typical of our native languages.
Researchers have developed a new framework that sheds new light on changes in the brain's activity and connections.
Brain networks are spatially and functionally fluid, and not static, as previously believed.
Gender identity, rather than sex, may cause the epigenome of the brain to differ in males and females.
