Combining infrared laser stimulation with ultra-high-field MRI, researchers revolutionize brain mapping.
In noisy environments, the right ear leads the way for optimal auditory information processing, researchers report.
Young people are more susceptible to pleading guilty to a crime, even though they are innocent. Researchers say the differences in children's brains which affect their sensitivity to reward and punishment, and differences in information processing could be factors as to why they are more likely to plead guilty.
Findings suggest prediction may be a general feature of animal nervous systems in supporting quick behavioral changes.
Fetal exposure to phthalates alters cognitive processing in young children, a new study reports. Children whose mothers were exposed to higher levels of phthalates during pregnancy exhibited slower information processing skills. Male children were most likely to experience difficulties.
Summary: Social affective behaviors are linked to changes in insular cortex excitability caused by oxytocin, researchers report. Source: Boston College....
Astrocytes may play a significant role in information processing and memory, a new study reports.
According to a new PNAS study, two areas of the brain are responsible for fear processing.
Researchers report reduced connectivity between the thalamus and prefrontal cortex may be a common feature in those with Schizophrenia.
A new study sheds light on the internal workings of brain regions involved in recognizing and remembering objects.
A new system within the brain uses for information processing and memory storage has been discovered. The findings provide novel insight into how the brain functions.
Researchers confirm both amyloid beta and tau are present in brain areas associated with memory and information processing during very early stages of Alzheimer's.
