Neuroimaging reveals our brains combine information from different categories of sensory information to drive abstract knowledge.
Pooled data reveals shift workers perform worse on tasks associated with attention, working memory, and information processing than non-shift workers.
Researchers say the relative silence between firing spikes of neurons help the brain to encrypt information.
Researchers report ADHD and conduct disorder exhibit similar, overlapping changes in the brain.
