Researchers reveal sleep deprivation can disrupt neural communication. This can lead to mental lapses which affect memory and visual perception. Read More
A new, whole brain map of neural connectivity reveals low frequency activity rhythms drive communication between key areas involved in memory processing. Read More
A new neuroimaging study reveals patterns of asymmetry in the human brain may be unique to our species and could help explain how we developed language skills. Read More
Vanderbilt researchers report elderly people whose hearts pump less blood have reduced blood flow in the temporal lobe. Previous studies report the temporal lobe is a critical brain area for the development of Alzheimer's disease. Read More
University of Birmingham researchers report a delayed response to processing written words could signify an increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease in patients with MCI. Read More
USC researchers reveal schizophrenia may be due to a disruption in the brain's entire communication system, not just the temporal and prefrontal lobes. Read More
Researchers report distinctive alterations in brain activity in college students who binge drink. The findings suggest binge drinking can impact brain development and the altered activity may indicate early signs of brain damage. Read More
A musician who played his saxophone during surgery to remove a brain tumor helped researchers shed light on how music is processed in the brain. Read More
Researchers discover two new areas of the brain involved in facial processing. Read More
A large scale SPECT imaging study reveals women's brains are significantly more active in more regions than males, including the prefronal cortex and limbic areas. Visual and areas associated with coordination were more active in males, researchers noted. Read More
