An increase in theta oscillations in the hippocampus help make learning and subsequent memory more efficient. Read More
Protein hyper-interleukin-6, a "designer protein" that has to be produced via genetic engineering, enabled a paralyzed mouse to walk again. Read More
An EEG study of couples embarking on romantic gestures, such as hugging and kissing, reveal positive emotions are mainly processed in the left hemisphere of the brain. Read More
A novel method detected conformational changes to the TDP-43 protein in cerebral spinal fluid associated with ALS. Read More
Objects are not only represented in one form of short term memory but in several forms simultaneously. Read More
Receptor potentiation was observed when the antagonists bind to receptors that consist of different subunits, where it acts as a subunit. Read More
Grid cell dysfunction in the entorhinal cortex may explain why people with a genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease have problems with navigation. Read More
The mood in which a baby is in when it learns new information plays a key role in their ability to recall information. Read More
Repeatedly administered tactile simulation over a sustained period of time alters neural processing of the hand area in the brain. The observable changes over time illustrate neuroplasticity and shed new light on the process of learning. Read More
Researchers proposed four criteria to understand and investigate animal belief systems. Findings suggest flexible behavior caused by belief is exhibited in the behavior of rats, chimpanzees, and dogs. Read More
Prediction errors play a role in the context of dynamic perceptual events that take place within fractions of a second. Findings support the hypothesis that visual perception occurs as a result of a decision process. Read More
The stronger the hearing loss, the poorer hippocampal synaptic plasticity and memory ability become. Read More
