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... |

It seems that while a lot of the media is blaming videogames for all the evils of the modern society, from obesity to bad school results, some scientists are quietly working on showing the benefits that even the simplest of videogames can bestow upon the player.A recent study conducted by the Mind Research Network ha... |

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... |

Seeking to physically get a glimpse at how Albert Einstein's brain must have looked like, Florida State University (FSU) Paleoanthropologist Dean Falk recreated it using a technique commonly employed in analyzing ancient fossils. It would appear, she said, that at least on the surface, the eminent scientist'... |

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. That is to say, scans reveal t... |

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... |

Approximately one week after Santa Clara, California-based Intel detailed its plans to accelerate the adoption of the 32nm manufacturing technology, chip maker ARM has just announced the introduction of the world's first ARM processor designed on a 32nm High-K Metal Gate (HKMG) process technology. The company�... |

Researchers at the University of Michigan, led by Daniel Weissman, studied the interactions that occur between multiple areas of the brain when boredom sets in, and discovered that, as attention fades, so does the intensity at which several nervous centers communicate. The results were obtained by keeping volunteers ... |

It looks like Intel's highly successful Atom processor, which is currently featured in the majority of netbooks on the market, is about to face some competition soon. Interestingly enough, the new product will not come from Intel's long archrival, Advanced Micro Devices, but rather from a company that, for ... |

Does everything and everybody around give you headaches? In this case your brain is different. The sensory brain cortex of the people suffering from migraine has been found to be thicker than in non-vulnerable people, even if the team at the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, that published its results in Neur... |

Now we know why even Ronaldinho or Shaq can miss easy shots: spontaneous fluctuations of brain's electrical activity are to blame. A team at Washington University, in Missouri, US, discovered that fluctuations in the brain activity made subjects to subconsciously exert a little less physical power when pushing a... |

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... |

Human brain chemistry and genetics are working hard to decode the mental substratum of the violence, from hooligan's behavior to extreme cases, like the recent most infamous school mass shooter in Virginia. "There is no doubt in my mind that if we could have examined his brain (the killer at Virginia Tech) we w... |
