"brain"

A study at California Institute of Technology in 2019 revealed that humans think at an average speed of 10 bits per second despite having over 85 billion neurons in the brain

Researchers say the finding can possibly help in developing improved anti-obesity drugs

The young patient, born deaf and mute due to a rare genetic mutation, suffered from severe involuntary movements and feeding difficulties. Painful twisting movements of his neck and body made swallowing and feeding challenging, leaving him dependent on his parents for daily activities.

The audio signals in online meetings and auditoriums that are not properly designed often have an echo lagging at least 100 milliseconds from the original speech.

MMP-8 travels from the blood to the brain, where it alters the functioning of certain neurons.

University of Portsmouth study investigates impact of sleep, oxygen levels, and exercise on mental task performance.

A Canadian team of researchers has now explored the current and long-term consequences of COC use, as well as the influence of naturally occurring and synthetic sex hormones on fear-related brain areas, the neural circuitry through which fear is processed in the brain.

Published in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry, the study revealed that the elevated risk remains significant even after considering other factors like genetics, lifestyle, and socioeconomics.

The boundary between real friends and favourite fictional characters gets blurred in the part of the brain that is active when thinking about others, a new study has found.

To understand, the team at the University of Basel in Switzerland conducted imaging studies on memory consisting of 1,500 participants between the ages of 18 and 35.

While it is well known that certain brain regions play a crucial role in memory processes, so far it has not been clear whether these regions exhibit different activities when it comes to storing information in people with better or worse memory performance.

This small brain nucleus, the size of a 2cm-long spaghetti, is located at the base of the brain (in the brainstem).

In a new study in ACS Journal of Proteome Research, a team working with mice has identified a protective protein whose level declines with sleep deprivation, leading to neuronal death.

Anxious people use a less suitable section of the forebrain when choosing their behaviour in socially difficult situations than non-anxious persons.

Scientists are suggesting a mathematical neural network theory in which memories consolidate to the neocortex only if they enhance generalisation.

The team found that mice with heart disease experience an accumulation of macrophages, cells responsible for engulfing dead cells, in their cervical ganglion.

A 15-year-old native of nearby Panavalli was infected with the disease called primary amoebic meningoencephalitis, it said.

Chronic exposure to lead (Pb) could disrupt the neurometabolic activity of the brain, says CCMB study

Binaural beats can work as a great external source to help you focus better.

The researchers focused on an area deep into the brain called the "nucleus accumbens," which is known to play a major role regulating functions like reward, reinforcement, aversion, and not least, motivation.
