2024年2月20日 · Summary: Researchers unlocked how the brain processes melodies, creating a detailed map of auditory cortex activity.Their study reveals that the brain engages in dual tasks when hearing music: tracking pitch with neurons used for speech and predicting future notes with music-specific neurons.

2024年2月5日 · Summary: Researchers shed light on the profound effects of childhood trauma on brain development, uncovering significant disruptions in neural networks critical for self-awareness and problem-solving. By leveraging AI to analyze brain scans, the research highlights how early abuse rewires pathways associated with emotions, empathy, and bodily understanding, potentially leading to difficulties ...

A new study has identified three psychological profiles that influence brain health, cognitive decline, and dementia risk in aging adults. Profiles with high protective traits, like purpose and openness, show better cognition and brain integrity, while those with low protective traits or high negative traits face accelerated brain atrophy and mental health issues.

2024年12月27日 · Summary: Lithium, a drug widely used for bipolar disorder, may also treat autism spectrum disorder (ASD), according to new research.The study found that lithium restored brain function and reduced behavioral symptoms in …

2023年5月13日 · Summary: The neuroscience of fitness explores how regular exercise profoundly impacts our brain and nervous system. Exercise stimulates neurogenesis – the creation of new neurons – primarily in the hippocampus, influencing memory and learning while increasing key mood-regulating neurotransmitters.

2024年4月9日 · Summary: Recreational cannabis use may be associated with a significant decrease in the odds of experiencing subjective cognitive decline (SCD) in adults over 45.Analyzing data from the CDC’s 2021 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, researchers found that recreational users had 96% lower odds of reporting SCD compared to non-users.

2024年11月9日 · Summary: New research reveals that cells outside the brain can store and process memories, challenging the view that memory is limited to neurons.Scientists found that non-brain cells, when exposed to spaced chemical signals, activated a “memory gene” similarly to neurons. This discovery suggests that learning from repetition could be …

2024年1月16日 · Summary: Researchers proposed a groundbreaking model in the study of psi phenomena, suggesting the human brain functions as a psi-inhibitory filter.They used repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to temporarily inhibit the left medial middle frontal region in healthy individuals, observing significant psi effects as a result.

2024年11月29日 · Summary: A new study reveals that the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein remains in brain-protective tissues and skull bone marrow for years after infection, potentially driving long COVID’s neurological symptoms.Using advanced imaging, researchers discovered elevated spike protein levels in these regions, leading to chronic brain inflammation and increased risks of neurodegenerative conditions.

2023年5月20日 · Summary: The neuroscience of consciousness explores the fundamental aspect of wakefulness and the higher-level cognitive perceptions, such as thinking and understanding. Various theories, like the Global Neuronal Workspace Theory and the Integrated Information Theory, attempt to provide an explanatory framework for the conscious experience.
