Medicine & TechnologyThe largest longitudinal study on brain activation that underlies adolescent development reveals cognitive function maps that might help explain risk factors for mental and physical health challenges in adulthood.
A new study suggests that adolescents who stop studying math after 16 show reduced levels of a critical chemical in the brain that is responsible for cognitive development, leaving them at a disadvantage.
In a recent study, the Washington University School of Medicine researchers found that immune cells that shield the brain and spinal cord come mainly from the skull.
A new study recently showed some understandings about brain reboot or how one can regain consciousness following being in a coma, anesthetized or deep sleep.
Researchers from Yale University found that the hippocampus, the brain's memory center, can already recognize and learn patterns as young as three months.
Challenging conventional theories on how neural information is relayed in the brain via one-way street. A study shows that when the receiving post-synaptic dendrites are overloaded the pre-synaptic axons hold off the delivery of the signal and send it first in the wrong direction.
Neuroscientists from UC Berkeley conducted experiments on epilepsy patients undergoing surgery to track how thought passes through different areas of the brain before a reaction to a stimulus can be made.
In a new study, researchers said they can already record human brain activity wirelessly throughout the day, an accomplishment that could allow for better studies in the inner workings of the brain.
A study on mice showed that sensory information is rotated in the brain by 90 degrees to turn them into memories without the new information overlapping with the short-term memory.
Researchers from the University of Rochester Medical Center used AI and neuro-imaging to map the complex neural processes that let brains comprehend spoken sentences.
