Brain imaging can predict effectiveness of cognitive behavior therapy for treating depression
Whether or not cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) will help a person recover from depression can be predicted through brain imaging. view more (2006-04-03)
Babies see it coming
Do infants only start to crawl once they are physically able to see danger coming? Or is it that because they are more mobile, they develop the ability to sense looming danger? view more (2009-09-24)
UCLA study shows different areas of the brain respond to belief, disbelief and uncertainty
The human mind is a prolific generator of beliefs about the world. The capacity of our minds to believe or disbelieve linguistic propositions is a powerful force for controlling both behavior and emotion, but the basis of this process in the brain is not yet understood. view more (2007-12-12)
'Tornadoes' are transferred from light to sodium atoms
For the first time, tornado-like rotational motions have been transferred from light to atoms in a controlled way at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). view more (2006-11-10)
Decoding short-term memory with fMRI
People voluntarily pick what information they store in short-term memory. Now, using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), researchers can see just what information people are holding in memory based only on patterns of activity in the brain. view more (2009-02-23)
Birth defect gene identified
Birth defects of the face and skull are relatively common in humans, striking one in 500 to 1,000 babies. Defects can include cleft lip or palate, congenitally missing teeth and severe malformations of the skull. view more (2005-12-23)
Brain imaging links chronic insomnia to reversible cognitive deficits without changes in behavior
A neuroimaging study in the Sept. 1 issue of the journal Sleep is the first to find that cognitive processes related to verbal fluency are compromised in people with insomnia despite the absence of a behavioral deficit. view more (2008-09-02)
Carnegie Mellon Researchers Use New Imaging Technique To Discover Connection Differences in Brains of People With Autism
Using a new form of brain imaging known as diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), researchers in the Center for Cognitive Brain Imaging at Carnegie Mellon University have discovered that the so-called white matter in the brains of people with autism has lower structural integrity than in the brains of normal individuals. view more (2006-10-24)
Space Mission Eddington Seeks Out Quaking Stars And Earthlike Planets
Members of the media are invited to attend the meeting. No pre-registration is required, but it would be helpful if advance notice of attendance is given to the RAS press officer, Peter Bond, or to one of the organisers. There may be opportunities for interviews during the morning registration period and the lunch session. **** Scientists from... view more... (2002-01-08)
Regulating emotion after experiencing a sexual assault
After exposure to extreme life stresses, what distinguishes the individuals who do and do not develop posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)? view more (2009-10-22)
Face perception is modulated by sexual orientation
New research indicates that an area of the brain thought to act in reward circuitry may represent a phase in visual processing during which sexual orientation modulates how we perceive individual faces. view more (2006-01-10)
Hormone replacement therapy may improve trip down memory lane
Many women experience declines in their memory during and after menopause, a change thought to be due, in part, to the rapid hormonal changes they weather during that time. view more (2006-11-17)
'Superdense' coding gets denser
The record for the most amount of information sent by a single photon has been broken by researchers at the University of Illinois. Using the direction of "wiggling" and "twisting" of a pair of hyper-entangled photons, they have beaten a fundamental limit on the channel capacity for dense coding with linear optics. view more (2008-03-25)
Autism's social struggles due to disrupted communication networks in brain
Picking up on innuendo and social cues is a central component of engaging in conversation, but people with autism often struggle to determine another person's intentions in a social interaction. view more (2008-07-24)
Schizophrenia linked to signaling problems in new brain study
Schizophrenia could be caused by faulty signalling in the brain, according to new research published today in the journal Molecular Psychiatry. view more (2009-03-03)
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)
Lost in thought: Brain research
Can one literally "lose oneself" in an experience? Many theoretical models of the mind reject this notion, proposing that awareness is dependent on the mediation of areas involved in self representation - a vigilant, self-aware "observer" network - in the human brain. view more (2006-05-17)
Wired for sound: How the brain senses visual illusions
In a study that could help reveal how illusions are produced in the brain's visual cortex, researchers at the UCSD School of Medicine have found new evidence of rapid integration of auditory and visual sensations in the brain. view more (2007-04-12)
Preclinical work shows how one gene causes severe mental retardation
Researchers at Duke University Medical Center and the University of North Carolina have discovered in mice how a single disrupted gene can cause a form of severe mental retardation known as Angelman syndrome. view more (2009-05-11)
Memory uses separate information pathways
The researchers studied two signals from different sensory parts of the brain, one of which arrived at the perirhinal and the other at the postrhinal cerebral cortex. These parts of the brain are located close to the sulcus and receive information from areas of the brain which process different types of sensory information. The information enters... view more...
