Bilingual people are great at saving brain power,a new study says. Image credit: Flickr/jurek_durczak
A research team established that years of bilingualism change how the brain carries out tasks that require concentrating.
New research findings show that bilingual people are great...
Cats have a reputation for being aloof and independent. But a study of the way domestic cats respond to their caregivers suggests that their socio-cognitive abilities and the depth of their human attachments have been underestimated.
The findings reported in...
