The brain is the organ that captains the ship of our body and efforts to understand its intricate functioning are the order of the day. Thus, the Allen Institute for Brain Science (USA) has published two studies in the journal Nature that present new advances in the study of the activity of the human brain.
This is what Sarah M. Helfinstein and her collaborators point out in an article recently published in 'PANAS'. It is known that there are certain areas of the brain that are related to risk processing when we decide. What these researchers are examining for the first time is whether the activity of those brain regions can somehow predict the kind of choice we will make: risky or safe. To do this, they performed functional magnetic resonance imaging on a group of healthy people while they performed a task in which they had to make decisions.
When we know someone well, just by listening to their voice we can tell if they are okay or if something is wrong. This occurs because our brain has a "voice area" that analyzes vocal tone and sends us information about that person we estimate. According to a study by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and published in the journal Current Biology, a similar process occurs in dogs.
Our brain has a kind of switch that regulates our behavior in the face of sensory information that comes to us from our environment. This is demonstrated by the latest study by a team of scientists from NERF (Neuro Electronics Research Flanders) and VIB (Flanders Institute for Biotechnology).
Stuttering is the inability to speak fluently both when you want to and when faced with the demands of the environment, such as when someone asks you a question. Being able to express oneself fluently and easily requires putting in place different mental functions such as purely linguistic, motor, emotional and as suggested by Vahid Nejati and his collaborators at Shahid Beheshti University in Iran, it also depends on attention as supervisor of the entire process.
There are people who have a great facility to remember with an impressive range of details the dream they had the night before. Others, however, state that they remember nothing or practically nothing. Why does this happen?
The brains of men and women are different but, until now, no specific study had been carried out on which structures make that difference. Now, thanks to research from the University of Cambridge, the evidence has been revealed and published in the journal Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews.
Researchers at the University of California at San Francisco (UCSF) have determined that the sound emanating from our lips leaves an acoustic trace that the brain is able to interpret. This has been the revealing conclusion of this study recently published in the journal Science.
Danni Büchner is invited to Sam Dylan's Halloween party. But the "Goodbye Germany" emigrant has no desire for many other party guests. And find clear words.
