Loss of neurons due to injury or neurodegeneration can lead to dramatically altered neural circuits, resulting in reduced or lost function. One mechanism to preserve function could be to re-establish the stereotypic connectivity among the remnant neurons. In the mammalian retina, such a selective re...
The neural mechanisms underlying synesthesia are still an active area of research. When comparing the brain scans of synesthetes with those of neurotypical individuals, researchers have found notable neurological differences and identified areas of increased activation or connectivity that may be responsibl...
People likely evolved to be sensitive to another person's gaze, and it's been suggested the human brain has a neural network dedicated solely to processing gaze, according to an article written by Harriet Dempsey-Jones, a postdoctoral research fellow in cognitive neurosciences at Th...
Additionally, delving into the cognitive aspects of trilingualism, like brain imaging or cognitive load analysis, might offer profound insights into the neural mechanisms at play. Lastly, comparative studies across different educational systems and countries can provide global perspectives, enriching the ...
However, the neural mechanisms involved in naturalistic gestural communication remain poorly understood. In this study, cortical activation patterns associated with gestural communication were examined in thirty-two children with and without ASD (mean age: 11.0 years, SE: 0.6 years). Functional near-...
