A recent study published in Nature Communications sheds light on why emotional memories are often more vivid and lasting than non-emotional ones. The research reveals that certain brain activities, known as “ripples,” play an important
A recent study published in the journal Brain Research reveals intriguing evidence that exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) patterned after neural activity might enhance a mental state known as “flow” in individuals playing a computer
A recent study has upended a long-held assumption in biology: the idea that brain size increases proportionally with body size across all animals. While this relationship has been widely accepted for over a century, new
In a recent study published in the Journal of Neuroscience, researchers have made a groundbreaking discovery: the subjective feeling of curiosity is linked to specific brain activity, which varies according to uncertainty. Using brain imaging,
A study in Germany found that individuals need to pay more attention to their actions when performing squats on an unstable surface compared to doing the same exercises on a stable surface. Performing squats on
A recent study published in Neuropsychologia suggests that Olympic-level athletes in closed-skill sports use different brain strategies compared to non-athletes during tasks involving working memory and action inhibition. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), researchers
