Personality predictors of intelligence change from younger to older adulthood
An ability to be open to new situations may predict intelligence earlier in life, says a new study, but disagreeableness may predict intelligence later in life. view more (2006-08-11)
Feelings matter less to teenagers
Teenagers take less account than adults of people's feelings and, often, even fail to think about their own, according to a UCL neuroscientist. view more (2006-09-07)
Daytime light exposure dynamically enhances brain responses
Exposure to light is known to enhance both alertness and performance in humans, but little is understood regarding the neurological basis for these effects, especially those associated with daytime light exposure. view more (2006-08-22)
Erotic images elicit strong response from brain
A new study suggests the brain is quickly turned on and "tuned in" when a person views erotic images. view more (2006-06-14)
Meditation associated with increased grey matter in the brain
Meditation is known to alter resting brain patterns, suggesting long lasting brain changes. view more (2005-11-14)
First evidence that musical training affects brain development in young children
Researchers have found the first evidence that young children who take music lessons show different brain development and improved memory over the course of a year compared to children who do not receive musical training. view more (2006-09-20)
Unraveling where chimp and human brains diverge
Six million years ago, chimpanzees and humans diverged from a common ancestor and evolved into unique species. view more (2006-11-14)
Why the brain has 'gray matter'
By borrowing mathematical tools from theoretical physics, scientists have recently developed a theory that explains why the brain tissue of humans and other vertebrates is segregated into the familiar "gray matter" and "white matter." view more (2006-01-12)
Patients, be patient: Brain images suggest new therapy for severe depression can take months to work
It takes time - between three and 12 months - before a new type of therapy for treatment-resistant depression starts to benefit patients, according to new preliminary brain scan research that confirms earlier observations by psychiatrists about vagal nerve stimulation. view more (2006-05-26)
Newly discovered gene may hold clues to evolution of human brain capacity
Scientists have discovered a gene that has undergone accelerated evolutionary change in humans and is active during a critical stage in brain development. view more (2006-08-17)
First evidence of brain abnormalities found in pathological liars
A University of Southern California study has found the first proof of structural brain abnormalities in people who habitually lie, cheat and manipulate others. view more (2005-09-30)
Drug triggers body's mechanism to reverse aging effect on memory process
A drug made to enhance memory appears to trigger a natural mechanism in the brain that fully reverses age-related memory loss, even after the drug itself has left the body, according to researchers at UC Irvine. view more (2006-07-28)
Brain changes in patients with migraine
Researchers from Harvard Medical School have found increased thickness of two areas of the brain cortex in people with migraine when compared to healthy controls. view more (2006-10-17)
Nicotine exposure during development leads to hearing problems
Scientists know that children of women who smoke during pregnancy can develop hearing-related cognitive deficits. For the first time, researchers believe they have evidence that not only implicates nicotine as the culprit, but also shows what the substance does to the brain to cause these deficits. view more (2006-07-19)
Boston University psychologists find neurological mechanism for subliminal learning
Watch out - you may learn something and not even know it, says Takeo Watanabe, an associate professor of psychology at Boston University's Center for Brain and Memory. Watanabe and his team recently pinpointed the mechanism that makes subliminal learning work. Watanabe will present the team's findings at the American Psychological Society meeting... view more...

'Speed of thought' guides brain's memory consolidation
Scientists at The University of Arizona have added another piece of the puzzle of how the brain processes memory. view more (2007-11-16)
'Word-vision' brain area confirmed
Humans have an uncanny ability to skim through text, instantly recognizing words by their shape-even though writing developed only about 6000 years ago-long after humans evolved. view more (2006-04-20)
Brain structure associated with fear inhibition also may influence personality
The relationship between the size of a brain structure and the ability to recover from traumatic experiences also may influence overall personality type. view more (2005-11-28)
Mysterious 'Neural Noise' Actually Primes Brain for Peak Performance
Researchers at the University of Rochester may have answered one of neuroscience's most vexing questions-how can it be that our neurons, which are responsible for our crystal-clear thoughts, seem to fire in utterly random ways? view more (2006-11-13)
Asleep or awake we retain memory
Sleeping helps to reinforce what we've learned. And brain scans have revealed that cerebral activity associated with learning new information is replayed during sleep. view more (2006-03-28)
