Waking up is hard to do: Prefrontal cortex implicated in consciousness: Novel way to reverse deep unconsciousness
Philosophers have pondered the nature of consciousness for thousands of years. In the 21st century, the debate over how the […]
The brain rests in a fluid, which among other things protects it from concussions. Scientists have known this for centuries. […] From looking for Waldo to finding your cellphone on a cluttered kitchen table, we are continuously engaged in visual searches. […] Dr. Thomas Hainmüller and Prof. Dr. Marlene Bartos of the Institute of Psychology of the University of Freiburg have established […] Peripersonal space (PPS) is an area created by the brain immediately around one’s own body parts that is used when […] New research in mice has revealed that the brain’s underlying desire for sweet, and its distaste for bitter, can be […] Researchers from Charité — Universitätsmedizin Berlin have analyzed the underlying electrophysiological indicators of subarachnoid hemorrhage, the second most common type […] The more intelligent a person, the fewer connections there are between the neurons in his cerebral cortex. This is the […] Reports from several studies have identified a link between height and general cognitive ability, or intelligence, but the mechanisms underlying […] A new study identifies a molecule that may be critical to the repair of white matter, the fatty tissue wrapped […]Neuroscience
