Brain Section Multitasks, Handling Phonetics and Decision-Making
A front portion of the brain that handles tasks like decision-making also helps decipher different phonetic sounds, according to new Brown University research. view more (2009-07-01)
Early brain activity sheds new light on the neural basis of reading
Most people are expert readers, but it is something of an enigma that our brain can achieve expertise in such a recent cultural invention, which lies at the interface between vision and language. view more (2009-04-28)
Having right timing 'connections' in brain is key to overcoming dyslexia
Using new software developed to investigate how the brains of dyslexic children are organized, University of Washington researchers have found that key areas for language and working memory involved in reading are connected differently in dyslexics than in children who are good readers and spellers. view more (2007-09-05)
Stroke study sheds light on left-right brain divide
Research into the effects of strokes has furthered our understanding of the different roles of the left and right sides of our brains. view more (2007-06-11)
Hush Little Baby... Linking Genes, Brain, and Behavior in Children
It comes as no surprise that some babies are more difficult to soothe than others but frustrated parents may be relieved to know that this is not necessarily an indication of their parenting skills. view more (2009-07-14)
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)
Sights and sounds of emotion trigger big brain responses
Researchers at the University of York have identified a part of the brain that responds to both facial and vocal expressions of emotion. view more (2009-11-03)
Measuring brain activity for emotional markers that may indicate risk for developing alcoholism
Although prior research has looked at brain activity and alcoholism, much of it has focused on cortical activity as a marker for impulsivity among alcoholics. A new study examines measures of brain activity in the frontal regions of the brain, thought to reflect individual differences in emotionality, an important aspect of personality. view more (2006-11-27)
Delusions associated with consistent pattern of brain injury
A new study provides a novel theory for how delusions arise and why they persist. NYU Langone Medical Center researcher Orrin Devinsky, MD, performed an in-depth analysis of patients with certain delusions and brain disorders revealing a consistent pattern of injury to the frontal lobe and right hemisphere of the human brain. view more (2009-01-14)
How to build a bigger brain
Push-ups, crunches, gyms, personal trainers - people have many strategies for building bigger muscles and stronger bones. But what can one do to build a bigger brain? view more (2009-05-13)
Brain activity reflects differences in types of anxiety
All anxiety is not created equal, and a research team at the University of Illinois now has the data to prove it. view more (2007-05-30)
Brain model enhances understanding of schizophrenia
A new model for the interaction among the nerve cells of the cerebral cortex may be a step on the way to improving treatment for schizophrenia and ADHD. The model, which describes the function of three types of inhibitory nerve cells in the frontal lobe, is being presented in the scientific journal PNAS by researchers from Linköping... view more...

Evidence appears to show how and where frontal lobe works
A Brown University study of stroke victims has produced evidence that the frontal lobe of the human brain controls decision-making along a continuum from abstract to concrete, from front to back. view more (2009-03-02)
Blood test predicts chance of dementia
Frontal lobe dementia (Frontotemporal Dementia, FTD) strikes people at an earlier age. After Alzheimer's disease, FTD is the form of dementia that occurs most frequently in patients younger than 65. view more (2009-03-06)
A direct gaze enhances face perception
Gaze direction is significant for the processing of visual information from the human face. Researchers in an Academy of Finland funded research project have discovered that the visual system of the brain processes another person's face more efficiently when the person's gaze is straight ahead than when the gaze is averted. view more (2008-08-14)
Study identifies part of brain responsible for tone deafness
A new study has discovered that the brains of people suffering from tone-deafness are in fact lacking in white matter. view more (2006-10-02)
When your memories can no longer be trusted
You went to a wedding yesterday. The service was beautiful, the food and drink flowed and there was dancing all night. But people tell you that you are in hospital, that you have been in hospital for weeks, and that you didn't go to a wedding yesterday at all. view more (2008-05-29)
Scientists identify brain circuits used in sensation of touch
The ability to tactually recognize fine spatial details, such as the raised dots used in braille, is especially important to those who are blind. view more (2007-10-11)
Rice psychologist identifies area of brain key to choosing words
New research by a Rice University psychologist clearly identifies the parts of the brain involved in the process of choosing appropriate words during speech. view more (2008-12-29)
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)
