Before a person is even born, the brain has undergone intense expansion and growth in its complexity. This dramatic development continues into the first years of childhood. After an early boom ...

Oct. 17, 2024 — Researchers have developed a novel training protocol for brain-computer interfaces in a study with rhesus monkeys. The method enables precise control of prosthetic hands using ...

Oct. 11, 2024 — A new study finds that brain endurance training (BET) can improve attention and executive function (cognition), as well as physical endurance and resistance exercise ...

Here are some of the ways that doing art and craft when you're very young can promote mental wellbeing, and help children's physical and intellectual development... BBC Homepage Skip to content ...

Our whole-brain experience leverages connections throughout Northwestern University and neighboring institutions, bringing together undergraduates, graduate students, and faculty. Augmenting the ...

Recent research into the neural effects of alcohol and recreational drugs suggests that the developmental trajectory of the adolescent brain may be particularly vulnerable to pharmacological ...

Through our research, we seek to understand the mind, brain, and behavior across multiple levels of analysis. Our faculty and graduate students, working in collaboration with our undergraduates, are ...

Brain development is also slower in people with ADHD. The neural pathways don't connect and mature at the same rate, making it harder to pay attention and focus. This can impair executive function ...

Bock thinks the discrepancy could be because the hemibrain fly might have starved while it was still growing, which harmed its brain development. The FlyWire researchers say that much work remains ...

and have since been used for research into brain development. But this is the first time they have been plugged into, and interacted with, an external environment, in this case a video game.

They do each of these things on the basis of sophisticated processing of sound, smell, touch and vision, organised and run by a brain composed of about 140,000 neurons—more than the 300 or so ...
