New Cortex study uncovers how we recognize what is true and what is false
A recent neuroimaging study reveals that the ability to distinguish true from false in our daily lives involves two distinct processes. view more (2009-06-18)
Activation of the prefrontal cortex improves working memory
Psychologists and neurologists invest considerable effort in the study of working memory. In terms of information retention, there is a difference between long-term memory, which is affected in diseases such as Alzheimer, and short-term or working memory, which allows us to make immediate decisions or structure a discourse. view more (2009-04-02)
Estrogen Controls How the Brain Processes Sound
Scientists at the University of Rochester have discovered that the hormone estrogen plays a pivotal role in how the brain processes sounds. view more (2009-05-06)
Pitt research identifies new target in brain for treating schizophrenia
Research from the University of Pittsburgh could expand the options for controlling schizophrenia by identifying a brain region that responds to more than one type of antipsychotic drug. view more (2008-11-06)
Some children are born with 'temporary deafness' and do not require cochlear implant
Clinical research conducted in the Department of Communication Disorders at the University of Haifa revealed that some children who are born deaf "recover" from their deafness and do not require surgical intervention. view more (2007-05-17)
Research shows that time invested in practicing pays off for young musicians
A Harvard-based study published October 29 in the online, open-access journal PLoS ONE, led by Drs. Gottfried Schlaug and Ellen Winner has found that children who study a musical instrument for at least three years outperform children with no instrumental training-not only in tests of auditory discrimination and finger dexterity (skills honed by... view more...

Prefrontal cortex loses neurons during adolescence, researchers find
Researchers at the University of Illinois have found that adolescence is a time of remodeling in the prefrontal cortex, a brain structure dedicated to higher functions such as planning and social behaviors. view more (2007-03-14)
Williams Syndrome, the brain and music
Children with Williams syndrome, a rare genetic disorder, just love music and will spend hours listening to or making music. Despite averaging an IQ score of 60, many possess a great memory for songs, an uncanny sense of rhythm, and the kind of auditory acuity, than can discern differences between different vacuum cleaner brands. view more (2006-10-04)
Researchers discover mechanism that determines when detailed memories are retained
The levels of a chemical released by the brain determine how detailed a memory will later be, according to researchers at UC Irvine. view more (2006-10-16)
Sensory feedback during speech: The brain attunes to more than just sound
Using robotics to manipulate the brain's perception of jaw movement while words are spoken, researchers have deepened our understanding of the importance of non-auditory sensory cues in the brain's control of speech. view more (2006-10-10)
Research finds music training 'tunes' human auditory system
A newly published study by Northwestern University researchers suggests that Mom was right when she insisted that you continue music lessons — even after it was clear that a professional music career was not in your future. view more (2007-03-13)
Pathways of emotion - from cortex to peripheral organs
Walking down a dark alley late at night is enough to give anyone the heebie-jeebies. Your heart starts racing, your palms get clammy and you get ready to run. Now researchers from Boston University have unravelled the neural pathways that transmit information about your surroundings to your organs, enabling them to respond appropriately. The... view more... (2003-10-07)
tudy: The new buzz on detecting tinnitus
It's a ringing, a buzzing, a hissing or a clicking - and the patient is the only one who can hear it. Complicating matters, physicians can rarely pinpoint the source of tinnitus, a chronic ringing of the head or ears that can be as quiet as a whisper or as loud as a jackhammer. view more (2009-10-05)
MIT neuroscientists find neural stopwatch in the brain
MIT researchers have identified populations of neurons that code time with extreme precision in the primate brain. These neurons are found in two interconnected brain regions, the prefrontal cortex and the striatum, both of which are known to play critical roles in learning, movement, and thought control. view more (2009-10-20)
Reorganization of brain area for vision after stroke: May yield new treatments for brain injury
New evidence from a patient shows that the area of the brain that processes visual inputs can reorganize after an injury caused by stroke. view more (2007-09-05)
Study Indicates How We Maintain Visual Details In Short Term Memory
Working memory (also known as short term memory) is our ability to keep a small amount of information active in our mind. view more (2009-02-23)
Sensitivity of brain center for 'sound space' defined
While the visual regions of the brain have been intensively mapped, many important regions for auditory processing remain "uncharted territory." Now, researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and elsewhere have identified a region responsible for a key auditory process - perceiving "sound space," the location of sounds,... view more...

Researchers find an evolutionarily preserved signature in the primate brain
Researchers have determined that there are hundreds of biological differences between the sexes when it comes to gene expression in the cerebral cortex of humans and other primates. view more (2008-06-20)
Sticks and Stones: A New Study on Social and Physical Pain
We all know the famous saying: "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me," but is this proverb actually true? view more (2008-08-28)
Scientists identify brain regions that decide where we look
Scientists have found the brain regions that decide where we look, and where to direct our eyes when we're faced with a difficult choice, such as looking someone straight in the eye or looking away. view more (2005-01-24)
