Using light to control the activity of a specific group of nerve cells, researchers have revealed a possible brain mechanism for responding to surprising or important cues. Changing our behavior based ...

Neuroscientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), University of Pennsylvania, and California State University, have established the existence of a biological difference ...

Researchers have reported findings that add to our knowledge of how human behavior may be shaped by the default mode network, a specific network of brain regions with both resting and task-related ...

Neuroscientists have established the existence of a biological difference between psychopaths and non-psychopaths. Neuroscientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The distribution of acetylcholinesterase activity (acetylcholine acetylhydrolase, EC 3.1.1.7) in the developing human striatum has been ...

For a brief moment, the best-priced performance in London was a comedy show by Western University neuroscientists. No two-drink minimum necessary. Participants in the study had their brains scanned ...

We compared private and social decision making to investigate the neural underpinnings of the effect of social comparison on risky choices. We measured brain activity using functional MRI while ...

Changing our behavior based on unexpected cues from our environment is an essential part of survival. The ability to drop what you're doing when circumstances demand it could mean the difference ...
