Genes linked to inflammation, neurotransmission, and immunity act differently in the brains of those on the autism spectrum compared to neurotypical people. These differences begin during childhood and evolve throughout a person's lifespan.
Researchers have discovered a critical role the dorsal precentral gyrus plays in how people use the sound of their voices to control how they want the words they speak to sound.
Auditory and speech processing occurs in parallel in the brain, researchers report. The findings contradict the belief that the brain processes auditory information before transferring it into linguistic information.
Using artificial intelligence and brain-computer interface technology, researchers reconstructed English words from neural signals recorded from the brains of non-human primates.
When a person listens to another person talking, their brain waves alter to select specific features of the speaker's voice and tune out other voices.
White matter connectivity between the auditory processing areas and brain areas associated with reward may explain why we like, or dislike music.
Researchers have identified abnormalities in specific neural networks that may be a biomarker to predict the risk of developing schizophrenia.
A new study reveals the cognitive and neurobiological processes that influence whether a person is likely to be a leader or follower.
People often say you are only as old as you feel. This may be the case for the aging brain. Researchers say older people who feel younger than their age have increased gray matter volume in key brain regions, fewer signs of brain aging and performed better on cognitive tests than those who felt their actual age.
Machine learning can predict, with significant accuracy, whether a person is a musician or not, based on fMRI data collected while subjects listened to music.
A new study reveals the superior temporal gyrus appears to be critical for voice recognition.
Researchers link physical fitness in children to increased gray matter volume in areas of the brain implicated in language processing and reading skills.
