Investigators in the United States have taken another major step towards the development of advanced neural networks. They announce the creation of brain cell cultures in the lab, in which neurons can communicate with each other, and also display signs of memory formation. The ring-shaped networks are capable of allo... |

The huge brain that mammals have – in comparison to the size of their bodies – may have grown to these dimensions as a result of the enlargement of the olfactory bulb and the smell-processing areas of the cortex. The finding was made by studying a species that lived millions of years ago.
The reason w... |

Normally, neurons are cortical nerve cells that reside in the brain's gray matter, with only a few of them being scattered in the white matter, but in the case of people suffering from schizophrenia, there seem to be far more neurons in the white matter.This is actually called the aberrant cellular localization ... |

In a set of recent investigations, researchers determined that a large number of developmental brain abnormalities, which have until now been considered to be different disorders, are actually related. Traditionally, all of these conditions were considered to be separate from each other, but the new evidence seems to... |

One of the things neurobiologists know about the human brain is that it's incredibly flexible. This ability is crucial for our race's superior cognitive capabilities, but it also represents one of the most mysterious aspects of the human brain. Scientists are still unable to explain why the newborn brain is... |

As many soap operas have already illustrated, the cliché where a man goes to a pub to drink away his emotions after a fight with his partner is already all too common. When couple members argue, many let slip phrases they do not necessarily mean, and that hurt the other to great extent. Words continue to fly u... |

A new investigation has recently revealed that the human brain is actually employing different areas when it comes to learning new nouns and verbs. This was shown by a research team that included two psychologists from Spain and a German neurologist. They used functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) to detect wh... |

Neuroscientists have finally been able to identify the location of the “fairness center” of the human brain. This is the region that makes us scream “It's not fair!” whenever we meet with a situation that we deem to be arbitrarily disadvantageous to one of the parties involved. The situat... |

Producing more and more accurate data on the human brain is the goal of all imaging methods used in hospitals today. Scanning the electrical activity of the cortex, or determining firing patterns within various areas of the brain are objectives that require complex medical procedures.

When people go blind, they lose one of the most important senses an individual can have. Single-handedly, sight accounts for the usage of massive amounts of processing power inside the brain. When the sense vanishes, the brain is left with a lot of “computing hours” to spare, and scientists at the Univers... |

For a long time, anthropologists and biologists have tried to understand what exactly is it that prevents our dogs and monkeys, for example, from learning how to read or speak. If brain structures are similar, then why cannot these animals use them more efficiently, and more closely to our own parameters? A new scien... |

According to a new scientific study, the brain of children is organized very differently as compared to that of a full-grown adult. That's not to say that they think in chaotic patterns, or that they are not fully able to understand or process a large number of data, but that they simply do so in a different man... |

People often take for granted traits of their brain that have had experts puzzled for generations. That is to say, for example, they don't know exactly how the part of the cortex that deals with memory operates when they need to find the car they parked in a very busy supermarket parking lot. The scientists also... |

In a new paper, published in the latest issue of the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), researchers argue that those people who have had a history of depression in their families are more likely to exhibit reduced volumes of brain matter on their right side.

Scientists believe that they may have finally discovered why teenagers behave the way they do between the ages of 11 and 17. They say that this is the time when their brains literally scan themselves and decide which connections to remove and which to keep. That is to say, during childhood, when the cortex is not ful... |

Just like a computer chip, the processing power that the brain requires in order to cope with challenging tasks is extracted from all around the cortex, but recent research shows that the array of processes we usually call intelligence is generally hosted only in specific spots in the organ. In other words, this is n... |

What's paradoxical about the psychopaths is the fact that they seem normal. They apparently behave like normal people, have normal intelligence (in most cases, even above average) and understand the rules of the society. But there is something in their brain that is not impressed by certain things. Now a team at... |
