Intelligence Linked To Overall Brain Activity, Rather Than Specific Region: Study
Researchers at University of Notre Dame reveal evidence for the Network Neuroscience Theory, showing intelligence as system-wide brain coordination for focus, flexibility, and problem-solving.

Brain Shrinkage Across Multiple Regions Accelerates Memory Decline With Age: Study
Scientists uncover how brain shrinkage across multiple regions accelerates memory decline in healthy ageing adults.

Your Body Clock Affects Long-Term Brain Health And Influences Dementia Risk: Study
Disrupted circadian rhythms may raise dementia risk. Here is how sleep, activity, and daily routines support brain health.

Compulsive Behaviours Could Be Inflammation, Not 'Habit Loop', Says New Study In Rats
The study, published in the journal Neuropsychopharmacology, looked at rats and tested whether inducing inflammation in the striatum brain region responsible for motor control, habit forming and motivation would increase habitual behaviour.

Microplastics Found in Human Brain Tissue, Study Shows Rising Levels
A study has detected microplastics and nanoplastics in human brain tissue, showing a 50 percent increase in levels over recent years. The findings suggest these particles may bypass the blood-brain barrier, leading to concerns over potential health effects. Experts are now focusing on how these plastics enter the brain and their possible role in ne...

New Study Finds Axons May Resemble 'Strings of Beads' Instead of Smooth Lines
A recent study challenges the traditional view of axons as smooth, cylindrical fibres, revealing they may actually resemble "strings of beads" or nanoscopic varicosities. Conducted by researchers at Johns Hopkins University using a high-pressure freezing imaging method, the discovery showed rotund blobs connected by thin tubes within axons. These s...

New Study Reveals the Brain Stores Multiple Copies of Every Memory
Recent research sheds new light on how the brain stores and manages memories, revealing that it maintains at least three distinct copies of each memory. This study, conducted on rodents, provides valuable insights into the brain's memory encoding process and suggests that multiple types of neurons play a role in storing these memories. The research...

Harvard and Google Created the Most Detailed Map of Brain Using AI
In a landmark achievement, Harvard University and Google have developed the most detailed brain map ever created. This innovative project focused on a cubic millimeter of human cerebral cortex, a sample taken during an epilepsy surgery in 2014. Over a decade, biologists and machine-learning experts meticulously mapped approximately 57,000 cells and...

Researchers Discover Brain Region Involved In Control Of Attention
Researchers have linked a brain region to how humans adjust their thoughts and attention when distracted. The link is significant as it provides insights into the cognitive and behavioural adverse effects of a treatment used for Parkinson's sufferers

Scientists Discover New Brain Communication Method, Hinting At Greater Processing Power
The newly discovered dCaAPs offer an additional communication channel, potentially enabling more complex information processing within the brain.

Ford Brain Research Aims To Help Identify Drivers Zoning Out At The Wheel
A survey shows that 40 per cent of drivers in Europe do not follow the recommended practice of taking a break every two hours on long journeys.

Brain Plays Key Role In Gauging Errors
The key element in our decision-making that serves to both gauging errors and revising our approach is confidence, suggested a new study.

Team With Indian-Origin Researcher Find Brain Area That Recognises Facial Expressions
Researchers, including one of Indian-origin, have pinpointed the area of the brain responsible for recognising human facial expressions.

Ageing Warps Our Perception Of Time: Study
Older adults may have difficulty combining the stimuli they see and hear, much like trying to watch a video with the audio out of sync, and it could have implications for rapid decision-making tasks such as driving, a new study has found.
