Memory formation requires higher-frequency ripples in the hippocampus and lower-frequency ripples in the parietal cortex. However, to make a memory stick, coordinated high-frequency ripples between the hippocampus and parietal cortex are required.
Brain changes associated with ASD encompass more areas than previously believed, a new study reports. Researchers identified brain-wide changes in all 11 cortical regions analyzed. The greatest gene drop-offs were found in the visual cortex and the parietal cortex, a brain area associated with processing touch, pain, and temperature information. The findings shed light on sensory hypersensitivity associated with ASD. Additionally, researchers say the RNA alterations associated with ASD are more likely a cause than a result of autism.
Researchers have identified how working memory is formatted, revealing visual memory can be flexible.
Combining neuroimaging data with artificial intelligence technology, researchers have identified a complex network within the brain that comprehends the meaning of spoken sentences.
The brain exaggerates differences between similar events in order to encode them in memory. This results in divergent brain activity that allows for better memory performance.
Study provides new insight into how brain waves control the flow of information through the cortex.
The occipital cortex plays a causal role in piloting our attention to manage the intake of images.
Testing self-referential bias in working memory, researchers report people automatically self prioritize. This may form the basis for egocentric bias when it comes to decision making.
A new study reports both planned and spontaneous movements have the same neural activity during the action, but the preceding brain activity differs.
A neuroimaging study reveals brain areas not commonly associated with science learning become active when people complete physics problems.
A new study sheds light on how the brain tunes into relevant changes in natural sound to optimize behavior.
A new neuroimaging study of war veterans with TBI reveals some interesting insights into brain areas associated with altruism.
