Brain study reveals predictive mechanism behind focus and hearing
Updated : 4 months, 3 weeks ago IST
When people focus on a task, the brain doesn't just listen differently -- it listens smarter. A new study from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem shows that the auditory cortex, one of the brain's main sound-processing centers, changes how it operates during active engagement, synchronizing

Deaf mice have normal inner ear function until ear canal opens: Study
Updated : 2 years, 8 months ago IST
According to scientists, mice with a hereditary form of deafness have nearly normal neural activity in the auditory system for the first two weeks of life. Previous research suggests that this early auditory activity, prior to the onset of hearing, serves as a kind of training for the brain

Researchers discover rhythmic brain activity helps to maintain temporary m
Updated : 2 years, 10 months ago IST
According to a new study, rhythmic brain activity is essential for temporarily maintaining critical information in memory. Brain rhythms--or patterns of neural activity--organize the bursts of activity in the brain that preserve short-term connections, according to researchers from the Del M
