The images showed that the depressed had decreased connectivity between several key regions of the brain responsible for emotional behaviour, learning, memory and decision making.

People with aphantasia still generate brain activity when attempting to visualize, but that image may be getting lost in translation, a new study suggests.

This interactive 3D brain visualizes where 10,000 words are represented across 60,000 cortical regions.

That’s what neuroscientists discovered during her research, where she investigated the conceptual representation of words and objects in the human brain.

Performing the cross-crawl strengthens the bridge between the right and left hemispheres of your brain, which allows electrical impulses and information to pass freely between the two.

The interaction between speech perception and the brain's cortical activity remains an important area of study in neuroscience. Speech perception, an ...
