We've all asked ourselves these types of questions: Where did I leave my keys? What was his name? Where did I park my car?
As people grow older their memory tend to get poorer, so finding ways to improve it...
A new technique developed by neuroscientists at the University of Toronto Scarborough can, for the first time, reconstruct images of what people perceive based on their brain activity gathered by EEG.
The technique developed by Dan Nemrodov, a postdoctoral fellow...
Although we have known for several years that the adult brain can produce new neurons, many questions about the properties conferred by these adult-born neurons were left unanswered. What advantages could they offer that could not be offered by...
Neuroscientists from Trinity College Dublin and the University of Rochester have identified a specific brain signal associated with the conversion of speech into understanding. The signal is present when the listener has understood what they have heard, but it...
A new study by Brown University researchers shows that two different brain systems work cooperatively as people learn.
The study, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, focused on the interplay of two very different modes of learning a...
It's not rare that a baby experiences a stroke around the time it is born. Birth is hard on the brain, as is the change in blood circulation from the mother to the neonate. At least 1 in 4,000...
Headphones are a standard sight in gyms and we've long known research shows listening to tunes can be a game-changer for your run or workout.
Back in 2012, Brunel University London's Costas Karageorghis likened music to a legal, performance-enhancing drug,...
Fragile X syndrome is the most frequent cause of intellectual disability in males, affecting one out of every 3,600 boys born. The syndrome can also cause autistic traits, such as social and communication deficits, as well as attention problems...
Most people agree that getting a little exercise helps when dealing with stress. A new BYU study discovers exercise—particularly running—while under stress also helps protect your memory.
The study, newly published in the journal of Neurobiology of Learning and Memory, finds...
High-tech scans of the resting human brain can provide a new way to define and interpret the brain's actual mental capacity, new research suggests.
In a report published in the journal PLOS ONE online Feb. 12, NYU School of Medicine researchers used...
A newly identified protein can be manipulated to make opioid painkillers effective at lower doses while also muting the reward mechanism that leads to addiction, Mount Sinai researchers have found.
The protein, RGSz1 (Regulator of G protein signaling z1), which is...
