Anxious individuals utilize a less suitable section of the forebrain when making decisions in socially challenging situations compared to non-anxious people, according to a recent…
Bio-computing is now a reality, prompting experts to call for its responsible application. The creators of DishBrain, in collaboration with bioethicists, address its ethical implications,…
Neurons produce rhythmic patterns of electrical activity or oscillations in the brain, driven primarily by memory, according to a recent study. Contrary to previous beliefs,…
A new theory suggests the utility of a memory for future situations dictates its location in the brain, either in the hippocampus or the neocortex.…
Recent research offers fresh insights into the causes of SUDEP (Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy). The study pinpointed a specific region in the amygdala that,…
Humans quickly identify small numbers (up to four) but struggle with larger ones. Recent research reveals the brain has distinct mechanisms for processing small versus…
Only a small fraction of older adults with early Alzheimer’s symptoms are eligible for new monoclonal antibody treatments, according to a recent study. The study…
Scientists from Stanford University explored the mechanisms behind sensations like “tightness” from cleansers and “softness” from moisturizers. Their findings, which correlate neural activity with user…
Two DBS leads implanted into the subcallosal cingulate cortex, with nerve fibers extending into other brain regions. Brain activity signatures or biomarkers can help scientists…
A new study suggests that a high-fat diet may impair memory by causing inflammatory effects and issues in cell-signaling management in the brain cells, especially…
A new study clarifies past conflicting observations on visual recognition memory (VRM), showing that increased visual evoked potentials (VEPs) during the recognition of familiar stimuli…
Researchers have discovered that Lewy body disease can be identified before symptom onset through a spinal fluid test. This breakthrough, based on a study involving…
Researchers at the University of Basel found a direct link between activity in certain brain regions like the hippocampus and memory performance, using the world’s…
