Let’s face it, having a few adult beverages is as American as apple pie and fireworks. We drink to celebrate newlyweds or to ring in the new year. We drink mimosas at Sunday brunch with our girlfriends and we crack open a cold beer after a tough day at w…
In today’s article, we will take a look at a new emerging area of medicine - nanomedicine. To begin with, it is worth understanding what it is. Nanomedicine is a field in medicine that uses nanotechnology to achieve results. The materials used in nanomedi…
Over the past 30 years, neurobiology has evolved rapidly and has been introduced into our lives. What once seemed like a fantasy from the distant future is now available. We can now use brain activity to change and control our environment through computer…
How much we make, how we respond to stressful situations, mental illness, our personality, and level of success are all things that run in the family.
“It’s just the way it is.” or “It’s just how things are.” are statements I hear all too often when it c…
Our brain is the most complex part of the human body. What the brain can do, and how it can do it, have even inspired a model of artificial intelligence (AI). Currently, a latest research published in the journal Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience demonstr…
The next great stage of our evolution has begun. But what will our successes look like – and will they be that different to us?
“In the 21st century,” Yuval Noah Harari writes, “the next big project of humankind will be to acquire for us the divine power…
Most of us think of IQ as a fixed thing, like a SAT score. You take a test, they tell you how smart you are, and that’s that.
Turns out that’s wrong.
Neuroscience is demonstrating that brain functioning is actually far more fluid than previously believe…
Neurological research has found that the brain has three distinct processing modes, called serial, parallel and synchronous. Serial processing is associated with IQ functions in the left brain. Parallel processing is associated with EQ functions in the ri…
What is the self? How does the activity of neurons give rise to the sense of being a conscious human being? Even this most ancient of philosophical problems, I believe, will yield to the methods of empirical science. It now seems increasingly likely that …
Everyone knows what it feels like to have consciousness: it’s that self-evident sense of personal awareness, which gives us a feeling of ownership and control over the thoughts, emotions and experiences that we have every day.
Most experts think that con…
You get all kinds of happiness advice on the internet from people who don’t know what they’re talking about. Don’t trust them.
Actually, don’t trust me either. Trust neuroscientists. They study that gray blob in your head all day and have learned a lot a…
Spirituality has been making an interesting comeback in recent years, or perhaps an entrée into the mainstream, with a new generation of young gurus and “ spirit junkies” making it hip to be spiritual. Many of the lessons draw from religious tradition, yo…
The words you choose to use can literally change your brain.
Dr. Andrew Newberg, a neuroscientist at Thomas Jefferson University, and Mark Robert Waldman, a communications expert, collaborated on the book, “Words Can Change Your Brain.” They write:
“The…
It’s common knowledge that modern medicine is much different from what it was a hundred years back. We have vastly expanded our knowledge on why we get different diseases and how to treat them. Is progress still possible? Of course! We still have doubts a…
Everyday living may be such a challenge for those with short-term memory loss. But researchers have now demonstrated that memories are rarely absolutely lost—instead they’re just moved to the subconscious.
A functioning working memory — a part of short-t…
A sensational discovery has been made by experts as scientists have found that the human brain is home to structures and shapes that have up to 11 dimensions. Neuroscientists welcome the discovery saying: “We found a world that we had never imagined.”
Ma…
The same brain-chemical system that mediates feelings of pleasure from sex, recreational drugs, and food is also critical to experiencing musical pleasure, according to a study by McGill University researchers published today in the Nature journal Scienti…
Pervasive neurotechnology is a growing area of neuroscience, developed to enhance the brain’s performance and cognitive health. These technologies are non-invasive, meaning they do not involve surgical procedures or ingesting drugs and tend to be cost-eff…
Whether we’re navigating a route to work or browsing produce at the grocery store, our brains are constantly making decisions about movement: Should I cross the street now or at the intersection? Should I reach for the red apple or the green apple? When y…
Religion and neuroscience are not an obvious pairing. But earlier this week, a study published in Social Neuroscience demonstrated that spiritual feelings activate the neurological reward systems of devout Mormons. The study used fMRI scans to show that t…
New study led by the State University of New York at Buffalo indicates an anti-cancer drug could have the ability to reverse social impairments related to autism.In a paper currently published in the journal Nature Neuroscience, the researchers report how…
A universal sign of motherhood is the lullaby. The world over, mothers sing to their babies, whether Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, their favouritetunefrom the radio, or evenrandom notes. This universality creates the simple lullaby a fantastic window tothe…
Basic facts about the brain are a key part of many introductory psychology courses, including information about brain cells. For instance, for years, students (and the public) have been taught that, thanks to the ageing process, the older we get, the more…
Thoughtful cognitive neuroscientists such as Anna Abraham, Mark Beeman, Adam Bristol, Kalina Christoff, Andreas Fink, Jeremy Gray, Adam Green, Rex Jung, John Kounios, Hikaru Takeuchi, Oshin Vartanian, Darya Zabelina and others are on the forefront of inve…
