Surely more than once when approaching someone you have recognized their face but you have been unable to remember their name. Neuroscientists at the University of Bristol (UK) have identified the brain circuit behind these memory mechanisms.
A new scientific work published in the journal 'Neurochemical Research' suggests that the extract of walnuts (the dried fruit except its fiber) has protective effects against oxidative stress and cell death that occur in the brains of Alzheimer's patients.
A study published in the journal 'Cortex' reveals that men have a hearing advantage over women when it comes to detecting and identifying a sound source in a noisy environment. The authors speculate that it could be the result of natural selection.
Neuroscientists at the MIT Institute have discovered that the left and right hemispheres of our brain function like two independent brains when it comes to processing the world around us. And each one processes and remembers at most two elements.
Ketamine and other similar anesthetics have a fast-acting antidepressant effect, according to a new study in mice published this week in the journal Nature, which opens up a new avenue for the drastic treatment of severe depression.
Can a brain scan predict the success of a song before it is released? According to a new study from Emory University (USA), yes. Using neuroimaging techniques, neuroeconomist Gregory Bern and his colleagues studied 120 songs from the MySpace.com pages of little-known musicians.
Neuroscientists Joseph Altman, Arturo Álvarez-Buylla and Giacomo Rizzolatti have been awarded the 2011 Prince of Asturias Award for Scientific and Technical Research. These researchers are considered world leaders in neurology for having provided solid evidence that neurons regenerate in brains adults (neurogenesis), as well as by the discovery of so-called mirror neurons.
A study by neuroscientists at MIT reveals that the most memorable photos for humans are those that include people, followed by indoor scenes and human-scale objects. The landscapes, however, although they are beautiful and transmit calm, are, in most cases, easy to forget.
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.
