However, an additional activity occurs in the left Caudate regionof the brain in bilinguals, when the speakers shift from one language to another. This region primarily distinguishes the type of language being used. This region is found between the frontal lobe and the temporal lobe. (Photo C...
True stories of indefatigable researchers, heroic engineers, and champions of, neuroscience who are finally turning the corner in the effort to understand, heal, and improve the human brain.
Thicker nerve fibers would be faster, but they would take up so much space that a newborn's head would be too large to pass through the birth canal. Instead, evolution has responded by making brain areas communicate with a dense network of thin connections. Cell Picture Show: Brainbow ...
“One of the difficulties when it comes to researching RLS is that you’re relying on what people tell you they are feeling,” said Unger. In mice, who cannot communicate having an urge to move, the research becomes even more difficult. There is a way around this, though -- by observin...
How do neurotransmitters communicate with postsynaptic neurons? How are endothelial cells joined in the brain? How does the brain regulate heat in the body? How does a neurotransmitter initiate depolarization? How do neurons communicate information from involuntary movement? How does the brain function ...
I. Gut microorganisms can communicate with the brain by sending signals to it. If gut microorganisms respond negatively, these gut-brain interactions sometimes result in such problems as memory loss and depression. 2. Using "good" microorganisms to replace "bad" ones and new medicines that could...
“At a time of voluminous fake news and disinformation, it is more important than ever to separate the factual from the possible or merely speculative in how we communicate,” explains Liina Pylkkanen, a professor in NYU’s Department of Linguistics and Department of Psychology and the senior...
Not everything comes natural to us but Darwin suggests that language does. Well, why should we believe this? Well, there are some basic facts that support Darwin's claim. For one thing, every normal--every human society has language. In the course of traveling, cultures encounter other ...
