Researchers focus on gray matter volume on three areas of the brain. Findings suggest cardiovascular risk factors such as obesity and diabetes could be early indicators for Alzheimer's disease.
Researchers report a link between exposure to air pollution during pregnancy and abnormal brain development in the offspring, which can lead to cognitive problems throughout life.
Researchers have been able to restore consciousness to a patient who has been in a vegetative state for 15 years. The groundbreaking study utilized vagus nerve stimulation to help restore consciousness to the patient.
In a study exploring the neural correlates of the fight or flight response, people who choose to flee perceive a greater threat, leading them to behaviorally and mentally disengage from a situation, researchers report.
A new study confirms that scanning a person's brain with an fMRI is more accurate at picking up lies than a traditional polygraph test.
Light exercise, such as walking, could offer hope for re-establishing some neural connections in people with MCI and Alzheimer's.
A new study finds the ability to accurately reflect on perceptual experiences and the ability to accurately reflect on memory is unconnected, suggesting we have distinct introspective skills.
Older people who engage in regular physical activity have more intact white matter and have more variable brain activity than their less active peers, a new study reports.
A new study sheds light on how the brain tunes into relevant changes in natural sound to optimize behavior.
Studies of lucid dreamers visualise which centers of the brain become active when we become aware of ourselves. Studies demonstrate that a specific cortical network consisting of the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex, the frontopolar regions and the precuneus is activated when this lucid consciousness is attained.
Researchers have identified a neural link between depression and sleep problems. The study reports brain regions associated with short term memory, self and negative emotions are strongly connected in those with depression, and this may lead to bad sleep quality.
Researchers find the neurobiological root of happiness in the precuneus.
