It turns out that most of us waste a lot of time looking for lost objects in the wrong places.
The scientific evidence is surprising – and terrifying.
Are you neurotic? This may be due to a thick cerebral cortex
Our brain shrinks as we get older, but the Mediterranean diet may slow this shrinkage.
It’s a long, hot summer’s day and you’re looking forward to an ice cream. But within seconds of your first bite, you feel a headache coming on: a brain freeze. What’s going on?
Why are some people more comfortable than others with making risky financial decisions?
For a long time it was not believed that animals were even capable of feeling pain, let alone complex emotions. We now know that is far from the truth.
Maybe you think neuroscience has a peaceable history of benign efforts to improve lives and enhance human capacities. But its origins and development tell a different story – with ethical implications.
Recent research suggests running allows the brain to rest and reduces the need for sleep.
It’s a watery battle of the sexes.
For bilingual children, the constant switching between languages is like a frequent exercise for the ears and the brain.
People who electrically stimulate their brains at home need more information to do it safely… and neuroscience needs to find out more about how and why they do it.
Results of the first large-scale study to specifically investigate the musical features that might increase the ‘earworminess’ of a song.
An intense night of study won’t help you remember information in the long-term – and the stress of revising under pressure will likely impact on your sleep and thus your exam performance.
A 133 million-year-old fossil hints that dinosaurs had bigger brains than we’ve realised.
Mind blanks are typically triggered in response to a perceived threat. The chemical process that takes place essentially clears out your working memory, quiets logical processes, and walls off memory.
Once you’ve been dishonest, it’s harder to stop – here’s why.
A single session of football heading can temporarily impair memory. So what does that mean for children with developing brains?
Our brains may be slower at making decisions than computers, but there is a massive evolutionary benefit to this tardiness.
