In 2019, neuroscientist Gül Dölen’s laboratory at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland, found that the psychedelic drug MDMA resensitizes the brains of adult mice so they can learn from their social environment in a way that’s normally reserved for adolescence. Dölen spoke to...

Dunning and Kruger suggest that the phenomenon they observed stems from what they call a “dual burden”. That is it is not just incompetence in people, but their incompetence robs them of the cognative ability to realize just how incompetent they are as others see them. But what do ...
A neuroscientist at MIT says that as disorienting as the house appears now, it will likely become familiar and counteract the off-putting effect that Arakawa and Gins have tried to develop [source: Simon]. But are there any other examples of the effects of Arakawa and Gins' work? On the ...
“The neuroscientist Paul MacLean took the Romantic doctrine of the emotions and translated it into a famous but incorrect theory known as the Triune Brain. (The basal ganglia (Reptilian Brain) for primitive and selfish emotions driving “Four Fs”: Feeding, Fighting, Fleeing, Fucking. The limbic...
“i really don’t want to go to sleep,” he said. “i don’t want to waste time. these are very exciting times.” trending now neuroscientist answers emotion questions many of the ceos in the audience that day were recipients of the fund’s investment. without exception, they had all ...
Gary Lynch, a neuroscientist at the University of California at Irvine, has studied the ways in which memory might be manipulated chemically. In 1987 he co-founded Cortex Pharmaceuticals, a biotech company that has been working since 1993 to bring an ampakine drug to market. Ampakines are a ...
