Researchers say in some autoimmune disorders, such as Rasmussen's encephalitis, neurons are not only the targets for immune system attacks, but may also be active protagonists. | Continue reading
A new study reports there are cognitive benefits for children who learn to lie early in life. Researchers say children who learn to lie early have more self control, better executive function and i… | Continue reading
Researchers have identified a network of cells in the entorhinal cortex that appear to play a key role into putting experience into a temporal context. | Continue reading
A new study sheds light on the roles both genetics and neuroanatomy play in obesity. Researchers report those with higher BMI had reduced cognitive flexibility, reduced ability to delay gratification and worse verbal memory. Additionally, those with increased BMI have increased a … | Continue reading
A new study reports children as young as two years old are able to evaluate the opinions of others and will modify their behavior accordingly when others are watching them. | Continue reading
Analyzing the work of great philosophers and recent neuroscience research, researchers conclude certain simple features, such as symmetry and roundness, make things more attractive to us. | Continue reading
Researchers explore why using hallucinogens to treat an array of mental health disorders is becoming more popular. | Continue reading
Researchers have identified a mechanism that may reduce the toxic aggregation of the huntingtin protein. The findings could lead to new treatment options for Huntington's patients. | Continue reading
Researchers report high density of neurons in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex play a significant role in resilient dyslexia. | Continue reading
A new study reports on increased susceptibility to false memories after mindful meditation. | Continue reading
Researchers have developed a new machine learning algorithm that uses fMRI data to predict a person's intelligence. | Continue reading
Researchers have created an artificial neural network from synthetic DNA that is able to correctly identify handwritten numbers. | Continue reading
A new study reports cell phones may be making us hypersocial, rather than antisocial as previous research suggests. | Continue reading
Researchers say using social media services like Instagram and Snapchat to document your life may come at the cost of you being able to fully remember the events you documented. | Continue reading
Researchers report developmental prosopagnosia, or face blindness, occurs as the results of neurobiological problems that broadly affect visual recognition. | Continue reading
Researchers have successfully reduced some symptoms associated with fragile X syndrome in mice with the help of CRISPR-Cas 9 gene editing. | Continue reading
Researchers report that for memory formation, the nucleus accumbens is both upstream and influential. | Continue reading
Consuming things in an unconventional way enhances our enjoyment of them, researchers say. | Continue reading
Researchers have developed a new algorithm that can determine the ideal time to consume, and correct dosage of caffeine that can maximize alertness under sleep loss conditions. | Continue reading
Researchers reveal a link between serotonin and patience at the prospect of reward in mice. | Continue reading
A new study reports our brains process pattern learning in a different way than probabilistic learning. | Continue reading
Researchers have developed a new deep brain stimulation device that is able to use feedback from the brain to fine tune its signal. The device could help those with Parkinson's disease. | Continue reading
Researchers have developed a new evolutionary game theory model which may help explain why many of us hide our good deeds. | Continue reading
A replication of the famous Marshmallow test has reveal some interesting new insights into the psychological development of children. Researchers report there is no indication the test was able to predict later behaviors or personality measures in children. Interventions focused … | Continue reading
Researchers report proteins associated with immunity and metabolism can become disrupted following just one simulated night shift. | Continue reading
