There are also three gradient magnets inside the MRI machine. These magnets are much lower strength compared to the main magnetic field; they may range in strength from 180 gauss to 270 gauss. While the main magnet creates an intense, stable magnetic field around the patient, the gradient magn...
The understanding of the human brain is one of the main scientific challenges of the twenty-first century: Unravel the biological mechanisms of our mental life; Replicate cerebral functional features in artificial systems; Understand neurological or psychiatric diseases to allow early diagnosis and ...
But so far, "my colleagues and I found that individuals with ASMR had less distinct brain networks than matched 'control' participants. That said, much more research is needed before scientists can definitively explain why some people love ASMR videos." And as to why some people don't like...
Pretty much everything. Especially things like going out and seeking pleasurable experiences, interacting with strangers and just generally moving about the world. So the theory is that the immune system is telling the brain to feel ...
Since the brain was found to be somehow flexible, plastic, researchers worldwide have been trying to comprehend its fundamentals to better understand the brain itself, make predictions, disentangle the neurobiology of brain diseases, and finally propose up-to-date treatments. Neuroplasticity is simple...
fully utilized and even though it is at full capacity being used, it suffers from a problem of information overload. There's far too much in the environment than it can fully process. So to solve this problem of overload, evolution devised a solution, which is the brain's attention ...
How much creativity does it take to be a genius? We'll look at how imagination and productivity contribute to genius next. Creativity and Genius Geniuses like Einstein are also known for their creativity and productivity -- and sometimes for their quirky behavior. Image courtesy © 2006 SmugM...
As mentioned, the possible gene linked to organizing things logically is a piece of a much larger puzzle. That goes for intelligence and other talents, as well. Most of the time, when society claims someone as a genius, it's for multiple traits -- personality, cognitive capacity, motivation...
Another biological factor under consideration is that people with BDD seem to have a chemical imbalance of the neurotransmitter serotonin, because they often respond well to the SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) class of antidepressants. Serotonin is one of the chemicals in the brain that...
