Embodied Cognition – a theoretical paradigm
Embodied cognition is a theoretical paradigm in cognitive science that proposes that the mind is impacted not just by the brain, but also by the…
Brain Mechanism Trains Mice to Shun Bullies
Mice, like humans, form complex social groupings, compete for territory and mates, and learn when it is safest to avoid specific opponents. According to a…
Hormonal Sentience
Hormonal sentience, first stated by Robert A. Freitas Jr., characterizes the information processing rate in plants, which are primarily reliant on hormones rather than neurons,…
Brain Thinning may indicate the Risk of Dementia – 5 to 10 years before Symptoms
Researchers have found a biomarker that can detect dementia far earlier than its onset. According to research, thinning of specific brain regions may be an…
Magnetized Neurons can be used to Treat Parkinson’s Symptoms
Electrical deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a well-known treatment for Parkinson’s disease-related movement disorders. However, implanting electrodes in the brain is an invasive and imprecise…
Could Unusual Visual Symptoms be an indicator of Alzheimer’s?
While Alzheimer’s disease generally affects cognition and memory, it is rarely associated with unusual visual symptoms. Visual abnormalities or hallucinations can occur in some people…
A Novel Reason for the Death of Neurons in Alzheimer’s Disease
The cause of neuron death in Alzheimer’s disease is poorly understood. A new study shows RNA interference may play a key role. Scientists have identified…
A Study explains the Role of a Little-known Synapse in the Brain
For the first time, Oregon Health & Science University researchers have revealed the function of a little-understood junction between cells in the brain, which could…
Deep Neural Networks show potential as Models for Human Hearing
In the broadest investigation yet of deep neural networks trained to perform auditory tasks, researchers discovered that the majority of these models develop internal representations…
Memory Study – Breathing during Sleep Influences Memory Processes
Researchers at LMU, the Max Planck Institute for Human Development, and the University of Oxford studied how sleep impacts memory. They discovered a relationship between…
Researchers discover a Way to Avoid Cognitive impairment following Radiation
Researchers at the University of Rochester’s Del Monte Institute for Neuroscience discovered that microglia, the brain’s immune cells, can cause cognitive abnormalities following radiation exposure…
