The way the brain develops can shape us throughout our lives, so neuroscientists are intensely curious about how it happens.

Neuroscientists have been trying to understand how the brain processes visual information for over a century. The development ...

Your ability to notice what matters visually comes from an ancient brain system over 500 million years old.

Functional magnetic resonance imaging is a non-invasive way to explore brain activity. Reading a person’s mind using a recording of their brain activity sounds futuristic, but it’s now one step closer ...

A new study from Karolinska Institutet, published in Nature Communications, reveals how rhythmic brain waves known as alpha ...

A new study reveals that alpha brain waves help the brain decide what belongs to your body. Faster rhythms allow the brain to match sight and touch more precisely, strengthening the feeling that a ...

Fostering visualization of any content (curricular or otherwise) by targeting and using the occipital lobe as the central point of processing the information is one of the strongest ways to help that ...

Why do our mental images stay sharp even when we are moving fast? A team of neuroscientists led by Professor Maximilian Jösch at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) has identified a ...

A child reaches for a toy, hesitates, then turns away — not because their eyes cannot see it, but because their brain cannot ...

A brief period of postnatal visual deprivation, when early in life, drives a rewiring of the brain areas involved in visual processing, even if the visual restoration is completed well before the baby ...

Researchers compared a traditional Chinese medicine, Yueju Pill, with a standard antidepressant and found both reduced ...

My last article focused, oddly enough…on focus—namely, how to help gifted students who are easily distracted by outside stimuli. Those of you with easily distracted students or children of your own ...
