Rhythmic Interactions Between Cortical Layers Underlie Working Memory
A new study suggests a general model of working memory. The findings could help shed light on condition, such as schizophrenia, where working memory function becomes compromised.

Inherited IQ Can Increase in Early Childhood
Positive stimulation helps boost inherited intelligence in young children, researchers report

Can’t Get an Image Out of Your Head? Your Eyes Are Helping to Keep it There
A new study reveals the brain utilizes eye movements to help recall vivid memories of past experiences

‘Mind Reading’ Algorithm Uses EEG Data to Reconstruct Images Based on What We Perceive
Researchers have developed a new technique that uses EEG data to reconstruct images based on how we perceive face

Why Morning People Should Not Work at Night
Early risers take less time to complete memory related tasks than night owls, but tend to make more mistakes

Neural Networks: Why Larger Brains Are More Susceptible to Mental Illness
Weaker long distance connections in the mammalian brain may explain why bigger brains are more susceptible to mental illnesses

Map Of The Developing Human Brain Shows Where Problems Begin
A high-resolution map of the human brain in utero is providing hints about the origins of brain disorders including schizophrenia and autism.

Research Reveals White Matter ‘Scaffold’ of Human Brain
Researchers identify the white matter scaffold of the brain, a critical communication network which supports brain function

A Single Spray of Oxytocin Improves Brain Function in Children with Autism
A single dose of oxytocin can enhance brain activity while processing social information in children with autism, a new study reports

Study Finds Altered Brain Connections in Epilepsy Patients
Patients with temporal lobe epilepsy have widespread, abnormal connections in their brains

When Neurons Have Less to Say, They Say it With Particular Emphasis
Researchers discover neurons regulate their own excitability so that the activity level in networks remains as constant as possible

Similar Neuro Outcomes in Preterm Infants with Low-Grade Brain Bleeding as Infants with no Bleeding
A new study from researchers at UH Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital and other centers suggests that preterm infants with a low-grade bleeding in the brain may have similar neurodevelopmental outcomes as infants with no bleeding
