A computer built to mimic the brain's neural networks produces similar results to that of the best brain-simulation supercomputer software currently used for neural-signaling research.
The relaxation response and mindfulness meditation are working through different neural mechanisms.
Researchers have just made a breakthrough discovery in how we can possibly treat stroke patients in the future.
Findings show that musicians and bilinguals require less effort to perform the same task, which could also protect them against cognitive decline and delay the onset of dementia.
Using human stem cells, researchers create 3-D model of the brain to study a mutation tied to schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and depression.
US Scientists managed to identify the gene that caused Alzheimer’s disease. Not only that, but they also managed to neutralize the gene so that it did not lead to Alzheimer’s development.
The Shamatha Project is the most comprehensive longitudinal study of intensive meditation yet undertaken and has drawn the attention of scientists and Buddhist scholars alike.
UNICEF has published a report and according to their studies, the brains of over 17 million children might be affected by pollution.
Investigators have discovered dozens of new genetic variations associated with a person's general cognitive ability. While profiling cognitive ability, researchers also discovered a genetic overlap with longevity.
A professor from the University of Southern California has demonstrated the use of a brain implant to improve the human memory.
Aerobic exercise can improve memory function and maintain brain health as we age, a new Australian-led study has found.
The Allen Institute for Brain Science has added the first data from human nerve cells to a publicly available database for researchers to explore and understand the building blocks of the human brain.
Single unmanned autonomous vehicles (UAVs) directed by joysticks, radio controllers, and mobile phones are already accomplishing a variety of useful tasks. But using multiple drones requires multiple human operators, and this presents a coordination problem.
Do social pressures cause the evolution of big brains? The debate is ongoing.
Psilocybin makes a brain circuit involved in depression break down and reform anew.
