Violent video games leave teenagers emotionally aroused
A new study has found that adolescents who play violent video games may exhibit lingering effects on brain function, including increased activity in the region of the brain that governs emotional arousal and decreased activity in the brain's executive function, which is associated with control, focus and concentration. view more (2006-11-29)

Major research initiatives are needed immediately to assess the possibility that using cellular phones may lead to an increased risk of brain tumors. view more (2008-10-21)
Multi-tasking adversely affects brain's learning, UCLA psychologists report
Multi-tasking affects the brain's learning systems, and as a result, we do not learn as well when we are distracted, UCLA psychologists report this week in the online edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. view more (2006-07-26)
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)
Chronic drinking and smoking cause both separate and interactive brain injury
Most alcoholics in North America are chronic smokers. While much is known about the adverse effects of chronic smoking on cardiac, pulmonary and vascular function as well as the risk for various cancers, little is known about its effects on brain neurobiology and function. view more (2006-01-25)
How 'hot' emotional brain interferes with 'cool' processing
For the first time, researchers have seen in action how the "hot" emotional centers of the brain can interfere with "cool" cognitive processes such as those involved in memory tasks. view more (2006-02-17)
Movement of Earth's North Magnetic Pole Accelerating Rapidly
After some 400 years of relative stability, Earth's North Magnetic Pole has moved nearly 1,100 kilometers out into the Arctic Ocean during the last century and at its present rate could move from northern Canada to Siberia within the next half-century. view more (2005-12-12)
Further evidence that genetics has a role in determining sexual orientation in men
Is sexual orientation something people are born with - like the colour of their skin and eyes - or a matter of choice" view more (2007-11-08)
The brain's motivation station
The prospect of a paycheck, good grade, or promotion wonderfully concentrates the mind, and researchers have now identified the brain circuitry responsible for such reward-motivated learning. view more (2006-05-04)
MRI rules out acute appendicitis in pregnancy
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can help rule out acute appendicitis in pregnancy when ultrasound findings are inconclusive, according to a study in the March issue of Radiology. view more (2006-02-28)

Smoking appears to interfere with the brain's ability to recover from the effects of chronic alcohol abuse. view more (2006-03-16)
Who's the liar? Brain MRI stands up to polygraph test
Traditional polygraph tests to determine whether someone is lying may take a back seat to functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), according to a study appearing in the February issue of Radiology. view more (2006-01-31)
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...

Smoking seems to increase brain damage in alcoholics
It is already well-known that the brains of long-term alcoholics atrophy and shrink, the study authors say, but the new findings are the first evidence that cigarette smoking might contribute to that atrophy, particularly in grey matter of the parietal and temporal lobes. view more (2005-09-29)
Strong magnetic fields aid severe depression
For severe depression, electro-shock therapy is nowadays the last hope. However, it can impair memory for weeks after therapy. A less aggressive alternative seems to be provided by what is known as "transcranial magnetic stimulation". view more (2005-07-13)
