Time-sensitive neuron fatigue in the supramarginal gyrus skew how we perceive time. Read More
Study reveals two different brain structures are implicated in implicit and explicit theory of mind, and both regions mature at different ages to fulfill their function. The supramarginal gyrus matures earlier, enabling theory of mind to occur slightly earlier than believed. Full ability for theory of mind occurs at age four when the temporoparietal junction matures.

Shorter sleep duration can increase the risk of children developing depression, anxiety, and cognitive problems. Children who routinely suffered sleep disruptions or shorter sleep durations had reduced brain volume in the orbitofrontal cortex, prefrontal cortex, precuneus, supramarginal gyrus, and temporal cortex.

Researchers report MDMA, the main compound in ecstasy, helps people to cooperate better, but only when the other person is trustworthy. Read More
According to researchers, bilingual people and trained musicians utilize fewer resources in their brains while completing working memory tasks. As their brains require less effort to perform tasks, researchers speculate this could protect them from the onset of cognitive decline. Read More
In order to overcome their egocentric take on the world, the supramarginal gyrus region of the brain must be developed in children, a new study reports. Read More
