Why We Remember, and Forget. And What We Can Do About It
Feb 3, 2023 · Summary: Researchers explore the mechanisms behind memory and how we forget things, and share tips on how to keep our memory sharp as we age. Source: Harvard Neurologist Andrew Budson and neuroscientist Elizabeth Kensinger not only explain how memory works, but also share science-based tips on how to keep it sharp as we age in their new book, “Why We Forget and How to Remember Better: The ...
Brain Stimulation Unlocks Our Telepathy and Clairvoyance Powers
Jan 16, 2024 · Summary: Researchers proposed a groundbreaking model in the study of psi phenomena, suggesting the human brain functions as a psi-inhibitory filter.They used repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to temporarily inhibit the left medial middle frontal region in healthy individuals, observing significant psi effects as a result.
Exercise and the Brain: The Neuroscience of Fitness Explored
May 13, 2023 · Summary: The neuroscience of fitness explores how regular exercise profoundly impacts our brain and nervous system. Exercise stimulates neurogenesis – the creation of new neurons – primarily in the hippocampus, influencing memory and learning while increasing key mood-regulating neurotransmitters.
How Does the Brain Create Our Perception of Reality?
Nov 3, 2021 · Summary: Researchers shed light on how sensory information and cognitive processing interact in the brain to produce our perception of the world around us. Source: SfN New findings from studies in both people and animals are revealing clues about how sensory information and cognitive processes interact in the brain to produce our perception of the world.
Deciphering Proprioception: How the Brain Maps Movement
Mar 21, 2024 · Summary: A new study reveals the mechanisms behind proprioception, our body’s innate ability to sense limb position and movement, critical for movement without visual cues.Utilizing musculoskeletal simulations and neural network models, researchers have advanced our understanding of how the brain integrates sensory data from muscle spindles to perceive bodily position and motion.
