Findings shed light on possible causes for reading disorders such as dyslexia. Read More
A new neuroimaging study examines the brain networks which control the use of tools and other utensils. Read More
When people close their eyes, they can form mental images of things that exist only in their minds. Neuroscientists studying... Read More
Researchers report distinctive alterations in brain activity in college students who binge drink. The findings suggest binge drinking can impact brain development and the altered activity may indicate early signs of brain damage. Read More
According to a new study, infants are able to hold representations of color categories in their brains before they acquire language. Read More
Do you know how many milliliters of blood is delivered to the brain per heartbeat, or whether you experience pain during brain surgery? Researchers explore five things you probably didn't know about the human brain. Read More
A new study reports researchers have identified a link between academic achievement, parental income and cortical thickness in children. Read More
A new study from Harvard researchers reveals that in primates, the blueprint for adult visual organization is in place a few days after birth and 'fills in' with experience. Researchers believe that, as the organization is present so early on in life, it is likely present before birth as a genetically programmed mechanism, and later modified due to experience. Read More
A new study links better math skills in children with cardiorespiratory fitness and associated gray matter thinning. Read More
A patient missing most of her occipital lobes on both sides of the brain is helping researchers shed light on how the brain processes objects in motion. Read More
A new study published in Radiology reports people with Parkinson's disease show significant abnormalities within the visual system. Neuroimaging helped researchers identify alterations of optic radiation, optic chiasm volume reduction and a decrease in white matter concentration in Parkinson's patients. Read More
A new study reports mathematical processes in the brain are influenced by language. Studying bilingual people, researchers discovered cognitive 'extra effort' is required for solving math problems when presented in the second language. Read More
