A University of Jyväskylä dissertation shows that a background in visual arts shapes how the brain processes color. Individuals with training in the visual arts displayed stronger neural responses to ...
Learning to read reshapes how the brain processes language. New research from Baycrest and the University of São Paulo shows that learning to read fundamentally changes how the brain responds to ...
Researchers have gained a new understanding of how the brain processes reward and risk information. Neuroscientists show how nerve cells in the so-called amygdala not only encode the probability and ...
A research team at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) has uncovered a fundamental principle of how the brain prioritizes vision and hearing differently depending on whether we are still or in ...
The human brain, often hailed as nature’s most powerful computer, is surprisingly slow when it comes to handling information. While our senses gather a mountain of data every second, our actual ...
A new study in mice suggests that memory problems in Alzheimer’s disease may stem from a breakdown in how the brain replays recent experiences during periods of rest. The research was carried out by s ...
A needle-thin, flexible brain implant is giving researchers a new way to interact with multiple brain regions simultaneously.
When the brain rests, it usually replays recent experiences to strengthen memory. Scientists found that in Alzheimer’s-like ...
Children and adolescents affected by juvenile fibromyalgia show greater sensitivity to non-painful sensory stimuli, such as ...
That sharp flinch during a violent movie scene is familiar to many people. A hand slams, a body falls, and your own muscles ...
What does forgiveness look like in the brain? As a neuroscientist, I am always looking for the biological underpinnings of mental processes—not as an effort to distill mystery into molecules, but to ...
