A team of researchers at UCL and UCLH have identified the key brain regions that are essential for logical thinking and problem solving. The findings, published in Brain, help to increase our ...

Until recently, studying the ... regions have a unique connectivity fingerprint. In our study, we compared these connectivity fingerprints across the human, chimpanzee, and macaque monkey brain.

This enigmatic process appears to be controlled by the thalamus, a central region of the brain already known for its function as a filter between sensory signals and the cerebral cortex ...

Using two newly developed types of reasoning tests, a team of researchers at UCL and UCLH has identified key brain regions that are essential for logical thinking and problem-solving. The results ...

Scientists have long tried to understand the human brain by comparing it to other primates. Researchers are still trying to understand what makes our brain different to our closest relatives. Our ...

In fact “they’re everywhere,” said Dr. Mosconi, who developed a PET-scanning technique to see these receptors in a living brain. “We couldn’t even find a region that was completely empty ...

(MENAFN- IANS) New Delhi, April 20 (IANS) A Columbia University's School of Engineering study in the US has shown that the brain's visual regions play an active role in making sense of information ...

Aerobic exercise also seems to spur the birth of new neurons in the hippocampus, the brain region critical for memory and learning. Over time, these changes may protect against cognitive decline.

AI-based software then stitched individual sections into a 3D recreation of the original brain region, with brain cells, wirings, and synapses each highlighted in differed colors. The map contains ...

New research suggests that sucralose — one of the most popular artificial sweeteners on the market — messes with a brain region responsible for controlling hunger, particularly in people with ...
