Boundary contraction may be as common as boundary extension, and whether something appears zoomed in or out depends on the properties of the image. Read More
Microglia may play a significant role in disrupting neurogenesis in those with Alzheimer's disease. When mice were given drugs which caused microglial cells to die, neurogenesis returned to normal. Read More
The posterior parietal cortex, an area of the brain implicated in spatial awareness, plays a critical role in visual decision making. Read More
Using CRISPR gene editing techniques, researchers create modified skin grafts that rapidly degrade cocaine and reduce drug seeking behaviors in mouse models of addiction. Read More
According to researchers, a person's tendency to anticipate feeling guilty is the strongest predictor of their trustworthiness. Read More
Researchers reveal the Western diet can induce the expansion of microbes in the small intestine that promote the digestion and absorption of high fat foods. Over time, researchers say, these microbes can increase the risk of obesity. Read More
Patterns of functional connectivity reliably predict when people were more or less focused on a task. Read More
Younger children tend to prefer urban environments, but older children tend to prefer natural settings. Findings suggest an affinity for nature develops gradually during life rather than being inherent at an early age. Read More
A recurrent neural network algorithm demonstrates short-term synaptic plasticity can support short term maintenance of information, providing the memory delay period is sufficiently short. Read More
Researchers theorize social 'survival mode' triggers the preference for greater personal space in lonely people. Read More
Researchers have created a silicon mesh that can be crafted to help stimulate neurons, limbs and tissue. Read More
A new study reveals describing certain foods in a foreign language can reduce aversion. Read More
