A new framework describes how the locus coeruleus regulates the brain's sensitivity to relevant information during situations that require attention.
A virtual rollercoaster ride in combination with EEG helped researchers determine how emotions are processed in the brain.
Adults make fewer errors in judging statistical information when they are able to experience the information firsthand, a new study reports.
People from cultures that frequently engage in conflicts with other cultures tend to play more cooperative games than competitive ones. However, in cultures where there are frequent conflicts within their own communities, there is a greater tendency to play more competitive games.

COVID-19 infections in families widened the prosocial gap almost three-fold between people with higher socioeconomic status and those from backgrounds of lower socioeconomic status.
Cholesterol synthesis in nerve cells ensures the replenishment of newly myelin-forming cells. The findings could provide new treatment options for the treatment of disorders associated with myelin loss, such as multiple sclerosis.
Study reveals a specific neural code for spatial goals, providing evidence for the brain's goal map that guides us to a remote location over space and time.
Research of lemurs sheds light on the evolutionary origins of musicality in humans.
Many people claim meditation helps to relieve their daily stresses. A new study provides objective evidence which supports the claims. Researchers found cortisol levels from hair samples decreased by 25% following a six-month meditation training program.
