Moving Quarks Help Solve Proton Spin Puzzle
New theory work at the U.S. Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility has shown that more than half of the spin of the proton is the result of the movement of its building blocks: quarks. view more (2008-09-15)
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)
Inhibitory systems control the pattern of activity in the cortex
Inhibitory systems are essential for controlling the pattern of activity in the cortex, which has important implications for the mechanisms of cortical operation, according to a Yale School of Medicine study in Neuron. view more (2005-08-29)
Brain's 'hate circuit' identified
People who view pictures of someone they hate display activity in distinct areas of the brain that, together, may be thought of as a 'hate circuit', according to new research by scientists at UCL (University College London). view more (2008-10-29)
Sound adds speed to visual perception
The traditional view of individual brain areas involved in perception of different sensory stimuli-i.e., one brain region involved in hearing and another involved in seeing-has been thrown into doubt in recent years. view more (2008-08-12)
EEGs show brain differences between poor and rich kids
University of California, Berkeley, researchers have shown for the first time that the brains of low-income children function differently from the brains of high-income kids. view more (2008-12-03)
Traffic jam in brain causes schizophrenia symptoms
Schizophrenia waits silently until a seemingly normal child becomes a teenager or young adult. Then it swoops down and derails a young life. view more (2009-08-11)
Neurological effects of childhood sleep apnea
In this study, Ann Halbower and colleagues from Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine looked at 19 children aged 6-16 y with OSA and compared them with 12 healthy controls. view more (2006-08-22)
Blindsight: How brain sees what you do not see
Blindsight is a phenomenon in which patients with damage in the primary visual cortex of the brain can tell where an object is although they claim they cannot see it. view more (2008-10-15)
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)

Carnegie Mellon researchers discover key deficiencies in brains of people with autism
In a pair of groundbreaking studies, brain scientists at Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh have discovered that the anatomical differences that characterize the brains of people with autism are related to the way those brains process information. view more (2006-07-13)
Awards for two pieces of research on schizophrenia
The Department of Psychiatry at the University Hospital of the University of Navarre has received two awards at the XVII Congress of the European College of Neuropsychcopharmacology, held recently in Stockholm. view more (2004-11-02)
Musicians use both sides of their brains more frequently than average people
Supporting what many of us who are not musically talented have often felt, new research reveals that trained musicians really do think differently than the rest of us. view more (2008-10-03)
Stress disrupts human thinking, but the brain can bounce back
A new neuroimaging study on stressed-out students suggests that male humans, like male rats, don't do their most agile thinking under stress. The findings, published this month in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, show that 20 male M.D. candidates in the middle of preparing for their board exams had a harder time shifting their... view more...

Selective attention increases both gain and feature selectivity of the human auditory cortex
On Sept. 19, a research report by Helsinki University of Technology, Laboratory of Computational Engineering scientists will appear in the online, open-access journal PLoS ONE, showing that selective attention increases both gain and feature selectivity of the human auditory cortex. view more (2007-09-19)
Everything in its place: Researchers identify brain cells used to categorize images
Socks in the sock drawer, shirts in the shirt drawer, the time-honored lessons of helping organize one's clothes learned in youth. But what parts of the brain are used to encode such categories as socks, shirts or any other item, and how does such learning take place? view more (2006-08-28)
Tropical Storm Nepartak becoming extra-tropical at sea
Tropical Storm Nepartak is now speeding in a northeasterly direction in the northwestern Pacific Ocean, where it is becoming extra-tropical and developing frontal qualities. view more (2009-10-14)
How fairness is wired in the brain
In the biblical story in which two women bring a baby to King Solomon, both claiming to be the mother, he suggests dividing the child so that each woman can have half.
