But how neuroanatomy impacts performance is largely an open question. To learn more, scientists are developing a new tool—computational models of the brain—to simulate how the structure of the brain may impactbrain activityand, ultimately, human behavior. The research focuses on interconnectivity wi...
To better understand how network structure shapes intelligent behavior, we developed a learning algorithm that we used to build personalized brain network models for 650 Human Connectome Project participants. We found that participants with higher intelligence scores took more time to solve difficult probl...
neighbourhood disadvantage, and urbanicity, may alter brain structure and function and, consequently, mental health. Exposure to these factors, particularly during critical periods of development, might have lasting impacts, resulting in heightened risk for a range of mental illnesses. Then again, ...
In fact, many people would describe ADHD as an attention and behavior problem. However, investigating ADHD neurology demonstrates key physical ADHD effects on the brain, and sheds light on the complex nature of ADHD and the widespread impact it can have on many aspects of life beyond attention ...

Remembering the big picture will keep you from making brash decisions. When you understand the long-term impacts of your behavior, it’s easier to maintain composure and self-control. 3. Get some rest Ego depletion me...
It impacts both kids and adults, and it's not about being lazy or less smart. ADHD is related to differences in brain development and activity. People with ADHD often struggle with tasks that require long periods of focus or detailed planning. But they may thrive in fast-paced, creative ...
As the birthplace of artificial intelligence and cognitive psychology, Carnegie Mellon has been a leader in the study of brain and behavior for more than 50 years. The university has created some of the first cognitive tutors, helped to develop the Jeopardy-winning Watson, founded a groundbreaking...
Dietary interventions with polyphenolic-rich foods can improve neuronal and behavior deficits associated with aging It is estimated that approximately 20% of the US total population will be older than 65 by the year 2050, which is almost double what it is today.85 Additionally, the US is faced...
