Ancient Brain Cells That Filter Distractions Discovered in Tiny Region Found Across Vertebrate Species
Scientists identified a small cluster of neurons in a primitive brain region that serves as a built-in focus filter helping the brain suppress irrelevant stimuli.
New Brain Study: Speech Learning Relies More on Sound and Sensation Processing Than Mouth Movement Control
Researchers found the brain regions critical for learning and remembering speech are primarily sensory rather than motor — a finding with implications for speech therapy.
The Simplest Focus Booster Is Sitting in Your Drawer Right Now
Neuroscientists explained the cognitive benefits of writing by hand with pen and paper to boost focus.
Scientists Challenge a Fundamental Assumption About Consciousness
A new scientific paper challenged traditional neuroscientific models regarding the nature of human consciousness.
New Studies Suggest Consciousness Cannot Be Judged Solely by Behaviour
Researchers argued that internal neurological markers rather than observable behaviour should be used to assess consciousness across species and possibly AI.
Texas A&M Nasal Spray Reverses Brain Aging in Animal Models With Just Two Doses
A new nasal spray developed at Texas A&M reversed brain aging in mice by reducing inflammation and restoring energy metabolism.
New Research Suggests High-Fat High-Sugar Diets in Early Life Rewire the Brain Permanently
Scientists found that junk food diets during youth altered brain structure and appetite-regulating regions in ways that persisted even after switching to healthier eating.
Scientists in Japan Create Supercharged Vitamin K Compounds That Help Brain Regenerate Neurons
Japanese researchers synthesized new vitamin K derivatives that could stimulate neural regeneration offering hope for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s patients.
Scientists Recharge Damaged Nerves to Ease Chronic Pain in Duke University Study
Researchers found that damaged nerves can be revived by a new approach that targets the source of chronic pain.
