According to a new study, the brain responds less to rewards gained from immoral acts than it does to ethically earned rewards. Read More
MIT's Innerscope Research uses a range of neuroscience tools to explore the connections between media and the consumer. Read More
A new study offers insight into how a well-connected core brain network in the lateral prefrontal cortex and posterior parietal cortex, help coordinate the brain’s response to novel cognitive challenges. Read More
Even at doses that help improve monkeys' attention, researchers observe no differences of neural activity in the prefrontal cortex after administering Ritalin. Read More
Study reports inhibiting the activity of the lateral prefrontal cortex can help knock out emotional spillover. Read More
Using non-invasive brain stimulation, researchers stimulated the lateral prefrontal cortex and medial prefrontal cortex, enhancing executive function and self control. Read More
Research from Washington University in St. Louis suggests that another 10 percent of individual differences in intelligence can be explained by the strength of neural pathways connecting the left lateral prefrontal cortex to the rest of the brain. Read More
According to researchers, familial relationships in movies affect the reactions in the viewer's brain to moral dilemma addressed between characters. Read More
A new study reveals both auditory and visual learning follow similar principles. The findings, researchers report, could help in the development of new approaches to restore sensory deficits. Read More
Researchers report the content of consciousness is based in two different regions of the brain. Read More
A new study reveals a mechanism that may explain how the brain is able to retain memories when faced with distraction. The findings could help with the development of new artificial neural networks and AI technology. Read More
A new neuroimaging study found those who achieved greater success at losing weight showed increased activation in regions of the lateral prefrontal cortex, an area of the brain associated with self control. Read More
