New research highlights the impact of high-intensity resistance training on memory and brain function, showing a single session can enhance memory and alter hippocampal connectivity, crucial for memory formation.
NIH researchers analyzed over 10,000 brain images, uncovering a link between ADHD symptoms and atypical connectivity between the brain's frontal cortex and deep structures involved in learning, emotion, and behavior control. This large-scale study opens new paths for understanding and...
New research in NeuroImage shows children's brain activity aligns more with mothers than fathers during shared activities. Parental stress can dampen this neural bond, highlighting the impact of family dynamics on child development.
Researchers have found that antidepressants increase the brain's network reconfiguration activity, making connections more dynamic and flexible.
A groundbreaking study published in Nature Communications reveals how maternal and fetal genes, influenced by food availability, play a crucial role in the growth of a baby's cerebral cortex, linking higher birth weight to an enlarged brain area. This research...
A new study unveils how jazz musicians' brains achieve creative flow, highlighting the blend of extensive experience and the release of control, allowing specialized neural networks to operate with minimal oversight.
Researchers discovered a crucial imbalance in the brain's striatum between glutamate and GABA in violent offenders with Antisocial Personality Disorder, regardless of psychopathy. This insight opens new paths for understanding and treating antisocial behaviors.
Stanford researchers developed an AI model that identifies sex differences in brain activity with 90% accuracy, shedding light on neuropsychiatric conditions. This breakthrough, leveraging rsfMRI data, highlights significant brain function variances between men and women, offering new insights for personalized...
A groundbreaking study revealed that baby talk, compared to adult speech, triggers stronger neural responses in toddlers' brains, particularly in regions linked to attention and word learning. This suggests that the exaggerated pitch and simplified vocabulary of baby talk may...
UCLA researchers discovered that astrocytes, not just neurons, play a crucial role in behaviors linked to neuropsychiatric disorders. By manipulating the Crym gene in astrocytes, they observed changes in repetitive behaviors, offering new insights into brain function and potential therapeutic...
New research reveals live music significantly amplifies emotional brain responses, particularly in the amygdala, compared to recorded tunes, highlighting the unique, powerful connection between live performers and audiences.
Early screen time impacts brain networks linked to emotional processing, affecting children's socio-emotional resilience later. However, parent-child reading can mitigate these effects, highlighting the importance of balancing digital exposure with interactive activities.
In a pioneering study published in Nature Human Behavior, researchers from Virginia Tech and collaborators have made significant strides in understanding the neurochemical basis of social interactions, focusing on the roles of dopamine and serotonin.
In a recent study published in Behavioral and Brain Functions, scientists have delved into the interplay between fear and greed, revealing intriguing insights into our brain's workings. By examining how individuals' brains react to negative emotional faces, the research sheds...
A groundbreaking study on prairie voles reveals a brain-wide map of 68 regions activated during bonding, showing males and females share nearly identical neural patterns. Surprisingly, male ejaculation strongly predicts bonding-related brain activity in both sexes, challenging previous beliefs about...
