When you do an activity like write, paint, or solve a crossword, it literally leads to positive electrical and molecular changes in your brain. Prioritize doing something you enjoy to make it more ...
The visual system is organized hierarchically, with anatomical areas that have specialized functions in visual processing. Low-level visual processing is concerned with determining different types of contrast among images projected onto the retina whereas high-level visual processing refers to the cognitive processes that integrate information from a variety of sources into the visual ...
The brain plays a big part in the aging process, and scientists think they’ve pinpointed the specific cells that control it.. In a study of mice, researchers at the Allen Institute identified ...
Oxford's word of the year is "brain rot," describing the impact of overconsumption of online content. Two doctors discuss the science behind the dangerous activity and how to prevent it.
Neuronal recycling is the idea that novel cultural cognitive processes invade cortical areas initially devoted to different, but similar functions. [4] This cortical architecture presents biases prior to learning, but through neuronal recycling, novel functions may be acquired, so long as they find a suitable cortical area in the brain to accommodate it.

The brain is the central organ of the human nervous system, and with the spinal cord, comprises the central nervous system. It consists of the cerebrum, the brainstem and the cerebellum. The brain controls most of the activities of the body, processing, integrating, and coordinating the information it receives from the sensory nervous system ...
The success of weight loss drugs like Ozempic heavily relies on the effect that they have in your brain, too, according to doctors. This is how GLP-1s impact your mind.
Neuroplasticity is the process by which neurons adapt to a disturbance over time, and most often occurs in response to repeated exposure to stimuli. [27] Aerobic exercise increases the production of neurotrophic factors [note 1] (e.g., BDNF, IGF-1, VEGF) which mediate improvements in cognitive functions and various forms of memory by promoting blood vessel formation in the brain, adult ...
