Changes in the rhythms of our stomachs force us to turn away from visual stimuli we find disgusting. Read More
Those exposed to cocoa flavanols performed better at cognitive tests and showed increases in brain oxygenation. Read More
Maternal stress is linked to altered development in areas of the brain associated with emotional development in their offspring. Read More
Minimal arm movements that occur during sleep are better predictors of respiratory rate than ECG wrist monitors, a new study reports. Read More
Pnoc neurons in the BNST trigger pupillary response and increase heart rate in response to anxiety and fear. Read More
People with Parkinson's disease who have less social interaction are at greater risk for developing more severe symptoms of the disease than those who are less lonely. Read More
Emotional response to music isn't just derived from lyrics or the beat, they are also based on preconceived ideas we have about different musical genres. Read More
Genetic mutations in the capsid of JCPyV may allow virus to escape antibodies. Read More
Researchers identified several brain areas that acted as hubs for information processing across brain networks that contribute to memory recall. They observed how activation patterns within these networks differed on an individual level, based on personal levels of recall detail and imagination. Read More
Oxytocin injections in rodent models directly activated SEG/GRP neurons via oxytocin receptors and influenced male sexual functions in the lumbar spinal cord. Reducing the activity of oxytocin receptors resulted in a decrease in sexual activity and ejaculatory response in the animals. Read More
A new study challenges the popular theory of intrinsic, dynamic patterns control motor behaviors. Researchers found neuron population dynamics in the motor cortex are different during reaching and grasping behaviors. Read More
Researchers were able to ascertain the colors people were seeing by looking at their brain activity. The study reveals we have unique brain activity associated with specific colors. Read More
