Researchers say those who use both cannabis and nicotine have greater brain connectivity that those who take one or the other. The networks of those who used both substances closely resembled those who people who took neither drug.
Light exercise, such as walking, could offer hope for re-establishing some neural connections in people with MCI and Alzheimer's.
People who play video games for more than 15 hours per week performed better in learning tasks and showed increased activity in brain areas associated with memory than non-gamers, a new study reports.
Researchers shed light on the neural networks that appear to govern human consciousness.
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.
Researchers explore how the ability to control dreams may be a key to helping us better understand consciousness.
Using the movie Memento, researchers discover how the brain creates memories to piece together complex story lines.
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 have identified a novel neural network which processes incoming information based on whether it’s something we’ve experienced previously or not.
Researchers suggest increased clumsiness in older adults might be caused by changes in the mental frame of reference used to visualize nearby objects.
MIT's Innerscope Research uses a range of neuroscience tools to explore the connections between media and the consumer.
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.
