Researchers at the National Institutes of Health discovered overactivation in multiple brain regions, including the frontal and parietal lobes and the amygdala, in unmedicated children with anxiety disorders. They also demonstrated that cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) improved clinical s
The findings shed light on the brain mechanisms that underpin the acute effects of cognitive behavioural therapy in treating one of the most common mental diseases.
How do memories form when sleeping? Recently, a study found a link between the formation of certain sleep-related brain activity patterns and the reactivation of memory contents during sleep in 2021.
According to new research published in the open-access journal PLOS Biology, tears from women contain molecules that reduce violence in men. The study, directed by Shani Agron of Israel's Weizmann Institute of Science, discovered that smelling tears reduces brain activity connected to aggres
How are memories formed when sleeping? Researchers led by Dr Thomas Schreiner, head of the Emmy Noether junior research group at LMU's Department of Psychology, demonstrated a direct relationship between the emergence of certain sleep-related brain activity patterns and the reactivation of m
According to a recent study headed by UCL researchers, slow waves, which are generally only present in the brain during sleep, are also present while patients with epilepsy are awake and may guard against the condition's heightened brain excitability.
According to recent research from the University of Missouri School of Medicine, there may be another approach to cure cigarette addiction. Researchers observed that theta-burst transcranial magnetic stimulation (TBS), which uses powerful, rapidly fluctuating magnetic field pulses to influen
According to new research from the University of Missouri School of Medicine, there may be an alternative way to treat cigarette addictions. Researchers discovered that theta-burst transcranial magnetic stimulation (TBS) - which uses intense, rapidly varying magnetic field pulses to impact b
Regular behaviours, such as drinking coffee and listening to music, can affect brain activity in ways that improve cognitive function, particularly in tasks requiring focus and memory.
Regular activities like drinking coffee and listening to music can influence a person's brain activity in ways that enhance cognitive function, notably in tasks requiring focus and memory.
