A new study that was published in the February 1st issue of PLoS One suggests that the tau protein, which is indicative of the fibrous…
Scientists from the Max Planck Institute of Biological Cybernetics are studying how different brain regions cooperate during memory. While testing monkeys with images for visual…
Human brains make synaptic connections throughout much of childhood, and the brain’s plasticity enables humans to slowly wire them based upon experiences, contrary to how…
Researchers at the Stanford School of Medicine examined which brain regions were active as children watched funny videos. Through the use of a functional magnetic…
UC Berkeley neuroscientists are hoping to be able to hear the unsaid words of patients in the near future. While conducting their research, they were…
New research by neuroscientists and child psychiatrists shows that children whose mothers nurtured them early in life have brains with a larger hippocampus. This is…
It’s believed that listening to Mozart and other classical music recordings will make the listener smarter, but this is a misconception as there’s nothing unique…
Prominent Oxford neuroscientists are teaming up with ethicists to consider the issues raised by brain-stimulating techniques. They recently spoke on BBC’s Radio 4 morning program…
