What is neuroscience? Neuroscience is the scientific study of nervous systems. Neuroscience can involve research from many branches of science including those involving neurology, brain science, neurobiology, psychology, computer science, artificial intelligence, statistics, prosthetics, neuroimaging, engineering, medicine, physics, mathematics, pharmacology, electrophysiology, biology, robotics and technology.
In visual working memory, the brain immediately transfers the memory of object shifts by re-encoding the memory among neurons in the opposite brain hemisphere. Read More
Older men who experience higher blood pressure at night could be at a higher risk of Alzheimer's disease. Read More
A new study links caffeine consumption during pregnancy to changes in important brain pathways that help regulate behavior in children. Read More
For people who control their food consumption, the direct touch of picking up food triggers an enhanced sensory response, making the food more desirable and appealing. Read More
Researchers answer the age-old question of why people perceive the same color in different ways? Read More
The TPS neural stimulation technique is able to non-invasively target and activate deep brain regions, providing a new treatment potential for a range of neurological and psychological disorders. Read More
Young children considered to demonstrate more narcissistic traits are viewed by their peers as "true leaders", even when their actual performance was average. Researchers investigate whether narcissistic leadership could develop during childhood. Read More
Study reveals the mechanisms behind distinct patterns of electrical activity in neuron groups that accompany the onset of seizures. Read More
Human brain endothelial cells used to generate lab models of the human blood-brain barrier were missing several key proteins found in natural endothelial cells. The cells had more in common with epithelial, a type of cell not normally found in the brain. The findings put into question over a decade worth of lab-based research on the BBB. Read More
Borderline personality disorder affects 5% of the population. A new study reveals people with BPD are becoming more knowledgeable about their disorder and treatments available but may find it difficult to find evidence-based help for their symptoms. Read More
Combining PET neuroimaging with a specific intravenous radioactive compound allows researchers to distinguish Lewy Body Dementia from Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's in brain scans. Read More
