Stress may impede perceptual learning and performance, a new study reports.
A new study reports unborn children can carry out asymmetric hand movements as early as 12 weeks gestation.
A new study reveals the emotional expression on other people's faces can influence whether we perceive an odor in a positive or negative light.
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.
A new Nature Communications study reports the antidepressant Clomipramine may relieve symptoms of primary progressive multiple sclerosis.
A new study reveals the piriform cortex is able to archive long term memory, but requires instruction from the orbiotfrontal cortex to indicate the event is to be stored as a long-term memory.
A new study reveals how the brain manages to perform learned categorization while under stress.
Exposing crocodiles to a variety of auditory and visual stimuli while in an MRI, researchers discover their brain processing patterns resemble that of other mammals and birds. The researchers speculate the fundamental mechanisms of sensory processing were formed at an early evolutionary stage.
A new study reveals the brains of higher IQ people tend to have leaner, yet more efficient neural connections. Researchers report, the more intelligent a person, the fewer dendrites they have in their cerebral cortex.
Researchers report transcranial magnetic stimulation predisposes neural connections in the visual cortex for reorganization.
Researchers have developed a new computational model of major depressive disorder. The model reveals older memories, as well as short term memories, are affected by major depressive disorder. Researchers say how long the memory deficits go back depends on how long the depressive episode lasts.
Researchers use neuroimaging technology to identify brain differences between those who procrastinate and those who are doers. The study reveals people with poor action control have a larger amygdala, and the connection between the dorsal ACC and amygdala is less pronounced.
