Mapping the Human Brain’s Facial Recognition System
Humans have evolved an ability to recognize faces, and this ability is so important that there is an area in the brain, the fusiform gyrus,…

A team of Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research has developed a method for preparing the whole mouse brain for “block-face” electron…
It seems that the blood of the young can help the old. A new study shows that when the blood of young mice is injected…
A recently published study from scientists at the Berkeley Lab, in collaboration with researchers at SUNY Upstate Medical University, found that moderately high indoor concentrations…
In a new study, MIT neuroscientists found that Broca’s area actually consists of two distinct subunits, one focuses selectively on language processing, while the other…
Most of the actions that people take for granted are the result of a set of complex decisions that the brain deals with. The decisions…
Brain connectivity can predict reading skills, thanks to brain scans and the examination of the growth of long-range connections in the brain. These allow researchers…
A newly published study from a team of neuroscientists at MIT is latest in a growing body of evidence suggesting that astrocytes are critically important…
Humans will embrace good news and attenuate bad news. People tend to overestimate their odds in a number of different things, while underplaying the risks…
Launched in 2008 to improve the ability to detect threats from standoff distances, DARPA’s CT2WS program uses human brainwaves, improved sensors, and cognitive algorithms to…
Scientists at the University College London have discovered that an individual’s perception of time does seem to slow when they prepare to make a physical…
Consumer-grade EEG headsets might be great for gaming, but a new study has found that sensitive personal information, like PIN numbers and credit card data,…
It seems like something straightforward in essence, but apparently being a heavy cannabis smoker as a teenager results in a significant cognitive decline in adulthood,…
A new study by Yale University scientists found that GATA1 represses the expression of several genes that are necessary for the formation of synaptic connections…
In an effort to better understand the function of inhibitory neurons in the brain and their role in neurological disorders, MIT neuroscientists developed a new…
A team of scientists has taken a step forward in understanding the cause of dyslexia and for developing potential treatments by discovering a malfunction in…
New research from neurologists at John Hopkins explains how stem cells found in the adult mouse hippocampus are able to react by “listen in” on…
A newly published study from neuroscientists at Washington University in St. Louis provides evidence that neural connections between the lateral prefrontal cortex and the rest…
