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)
You will remember this
Scientists can now predict memory of an event before it even happens. A team at UCL (University College London) can now tell how well memory will serve us before we have seen what we will remember. view more (2006-02-27)
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)
Memory loss in older adults due to distractions, not inability to focus
The short-term memory problems that accompany normal aging are associated with an inability to filter out surrounding distractions, not problems with focusing attention, according to a study by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley. view more (2005-09-12)
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)
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)
Scientists find a solar-powered asteroid
An international research team led by Academy Research Fellow Mikko Kaasalainen has found an asteroid whose rotation receives an extra kick from solar radiation. view more (2007-03-08)
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)
Mystery of Quintuplet stars in Milky Way solved
For the first time, scientists have identified the cluster of Quintuplet stars in the Milky Way's galactic center, next to the super massive black hole, as massive binary stars nearing the end of their life cycle, solving a mystery that had dogged astronomers for more than 15 years. view more (2006-08-21)
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...

MAGIC discovers variable very high energy gamma-ray emission from a microquasar
In a recent issue of Science Magazine, the Major Atmospheric Gamma-ray ImagingCherenkov (MAGIC) Telescope has reported the discovery of variable very high energy (VHE) gamma-ray emission from a microquasar. view more (2006-05-19)
'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)
Forests damaged by Katrina may contribute to global warming
Researchers led by biologist Jeffrey Chambers of Tulane University have determined that the losses inflicted by Hurricane Katrina on Gulf Coast forest trees are enough to cancel out a year's worth of new tree biomass (trunks, branches and foliage) growth in other parts of the country. view more (2007-11-16)
