What I Learned Today: The Brain That Changes... →
fuckyeahneuroscience:
is one of the most fascinating books I’ve ever read. It walks the reader through studies of patients suffering from neurological disorders to explain how our brains are constantly adapting. For a long time, neuroscience believed the brain was immutable – fixed - one part of the brain for each body part or function and that’s that. But recently the field of neuroplasticity,...

psychotherapy:
“…As a card-carrying introvert, I am one of the many people whose personality confers on them a preference for the inner world of their own mind rather than the outer world of sociability.

Neuroscience of Music
Neuroscience research into the neuroscience of music shows that musicians’ brains may be primed to distinguish meaningful sensory information from noise. This ability seems to enhance other cognitive abilities such as learning, language, memory and neuroplasticity of various brain areas.
Now a data-driven review by Northwestern University researchers that will be published July 20 in...

Single Neurons and Dendrites Can Detect Different...
Single neurons in the brain are surprisingly good at distinguishing different sequences of incoming information according to new research by UCL neuroscientists.
The study, published today in Science and carried out by researchers based at the Wolfson Institute for Biomedical Research at UCL, shows that single neurons, and indeed even single dendrites, the tiny receiving elements of...

Optimistic Brains vs. Pessimistic Brains: Belief...
Optimistic brains and pessimistic brains were compared in a brain-imaging study of the posterior parietal cortex, where it is believed sensory stimuli are transformed into movement plans. The experiments show that the posterior parietal cortex performance can be affected by belief of success or failure in tasks.
Our belief as to whether we will likely succeed or fail at a given task and...
