Study reveals the different ways the brain parses information through interactions of waves of neural activity.
When it comes to mental processing, researchers say there are fundamental similarities between autistic and people not on the autism spectrum.
Pooled data reveals shift workers perform worse on tasks associated with attention, working memory, and information processing than non-shift workers.
Study reveals how the brain distinguishes between different types of social conformity when revising opinions.
A new study reveals brain oscillations associated with memory retrieval alter in the moments before death, suggesting the brain may replay significant life events just before we die.
Different types of dendrites process incoming information in different ways before sending it to the body of the neuron.
Astrocytes may play a significant role in information processing and memory, a new study reports.
Findings reveal the brain may optimize visual information processing depending on its conscious state.
Researchers have identified a neural mechanism that supports advanced cognitive functions such as planning and problem-solving. The mechanism distributes information from a single neuron to larger neural populations in the prefrontal cortex.
Researchers have identified three factors that influence whether a person is likely to seek more information or ignore facts about their health, finances, and personality traits.
Researchers say the COVID pandemic has had an impact on people's cognitive abilities and risk perception.
Study reveals how the brain relies on feedback from the body to regulate fear response. When a mouse's body freezes in response to fear, its heart rate slows, and this leads to attenuated insular cortex activity.
