Being a night owl might not be a bad thing – for your brain, at leastDepositphotos ‘Night owls’ traditionally get a bit of a rough time of it, with numerous studies linking staying up late to poor health outcomes, inadequate sleep and a fair…
In the busyness of life, the quest for improved brain function and reduced stress has become increasingly important. Surprisingly, neuroscience research has uncovered a simple, “brainless” activity that can significantly enhance memory , sharpen focus, and lower stress levels. This technique requires no special…
Morrie Markoff died at 110. His family donated his brain to NeuroBioBank. About a month ago, Judith Hansen popped awake in the predawn hours, thinking about her father’s brain. Her father, Morrie Markoff, was an unusual man. At 110, he was thought to be…
In a recent study led by the University of Liège researchers delved into the intersection of the fields of entrepreneurship and neuroscience, looking specifically at the cognitive flexibility of habitual entrepreneurs — those who repeatedly launch new businesses — compared to less experienced entrepreneurs…
The field is taking a leap forward thanks to innovative technologies, such as artificial intelligence. Researchers must improve consent procedures and public involvement. Facebook Email Studies involving people who are awake during brain surgery are helping to explain how the brain produces and perceives…
High temperatures can have an alarming effect on our bodies. But heat also takes a toll on our brains, impairing people’s cognition. In July 2016, a heat wave hit Boston, with daytime temperatures averaging 92 degrees for five days in a row. Some local…

Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have developed a noninvasive…
The amount of information the brain can store is greater than once thought, new research suggests. The brain may be able to hold nearly 10 times more information than previously thought, a new study confirms. Similar to computers, the brain’s memory storage is measured…
There are plenty of ways to get smarter . You can harness the power of interleaving by learning several things in succession. You can vary the way you study. You can test yourself. Oddly enough, simply getting more sleep can actually make you smarter…
Credit: CC0 Public Domain Evidence also supports the notion that the brain gets rid of more toxic waste when we’re asleep than when we’re awake. This process is believed to be crucial in getting rid of potentially harmful things such as amyloid, a protein…
Key points Brain waves influence cognitive control and memory formation, informing how the brain manages memory. Working memory stores and manipulates information temporarily for tasks like learning and decision-making. Phase-amplitude coupling neurons synchronize with brain waves, aiding cognitive control and memory retrieval. New findings…

People who eat more ultra-processed foods like soft drinks, chips and cookies may have a higher risk of having memory and thinking problems and having a stroke than those who eat fewer processed foods, according to a new study published in the May 22,…
0 Consuming highly processed foods may be harmful to the aging brain, independent of other risk factors for adverse neurologic outcomes and adherence to recommended dietary patterns, new research suggests. Observations from a large cohort of adults followed for more than 10 years suggested…
Why can some people easily stop eating when they are full and others can’t, which can lead to obesity? A Northwestern Medicine study has found one reason may be a newly discovered structural connection between two regions in the brain that appears to be…
Summary: A new study reveals a novel brain circuit linking the sense of smell and eating behavior. The weaker the connection between these regions, the higher a person’s Body Mass Index (BMI). This discovery suggests a potential neural mechanism underlying overeating, where disrupted circuits…
