Researchers report reduced connectivity between the thalamus and prefrontal cortex may be a common feature in those with Schizophrenia.
A new study reveals human neural activation is different in response to different numbers. The findings demonstrate how we learn to handle number symbols in comparison to quantities.
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.
Testing multiple computational models of the nervous system, researchers discover that just because a model can make accurate predictions about data, this doesn't always translate into the underlying logic of the biological system it represents.
The amygdala-pons connectivity in the pons-corticolimbic network is significantly stronger in patients with major depressive disorder.
Study reveals how the brain distinguishes between different types of social conformity when revising opinions.
Researchers report a computerized brain training intervention may reduce dementia risks in the elderly.
Researchers were able to predict the orientation preference of individual neurons by adding up the responses of their dendritic spines, a new study reports.
According to a new study, newborn babies are able to process language as young as two days old by utilizing similar processes to adults.
Low-frequency optogenetic stimulation of the visual region of the brain impairs an animal's ability to make fine sensory discriminations.
Combining neuroimaging and a constructed virtual reality town, researchers found the brain uses three different systems to perceive environment. One system allows us to recognize a place, another helps navigate through that location, and the third helps navigate from one place to another. The parahippocampal place area (PPA) helps encode location recognition, while the retrosplenial complex allows for mentally mapping the locations of specific places.
If you're playing video games to help kill time during social distancing, you might be improving your visual attention abilities. Researchers found experienced gamers have faster information processing abilities and can allocate more cognitive power to individual visual stimuli. Playing video games can cause long-term changes in the brain and lead to improvements in temporal visual selective attention.
