Mysterious new brain disease being investigated in Canada… symptoms include visual hallucinations and memory loss
Health officials in Canada are struggling to figure out the cause of a new, mysterious brain disease that has affected more than 40 people in the country’s southeast. In early March, Canadian officials began alerting doctors and provincial health officials in New Brunswick to tell them that federal health authorities were monitoring a cluster of […]

German researchers successfully implant, then delete, false memories in people’s minds
Have you ever remembered something from the past that never actually happened? If so, this phenomenon is known as a false memory, and scientists in Germany claim to have figured out a way to induce and implant false memories into people’s brains. Researchers from multiple universities conducted a series of experiments on test patients in […]

Chemicals in organophosphate pesticides cause brain damage: Study
Prenatal exposure to organophosphate pesticides, a kind of pesticide considered toxic to humans, has been linked to impaired cognition and significant changes in the brain. In a major breakthrough, scientists from the University of California, Berkeley (UCB) and Stanford University found that teenagers exposed in utero to organophosphate pesticides demonstrated altered brain activities during tasks that required executive […]

Patent shows how your nervous system can be manipulated through your TV or computer screen
If you thought the idea of manipulating the human nervous system via TV screens and computer monitors was reserved solely for the realm of science fiction, think again. Registered patents indicate that this may not be quite as far-fetched as it sounds. The 6506148 B2 patent, entitled: “Nervous System Manipulation By Electromagnetic Fields From Monitors,” […]

Immune cells ATTACK the aging brain and release a substance that hinders new nerve cell production, report scientists
One of the defining features of the brain that sets it apart from all other organs of the human body (except muscles) is that it is made up of cells that cannot regenerate. The nerve cells in the brain called neurons are terminally differentiated, meaning that, unlike skin cells or blood cells, they cannot reproduce. So […]

Coronavirus harms the brain and nervous system of one in three patients
A new study shows that coronavirus (COVID-19) can impair the neurological functions of patients with the disease. Researchers from the Huanzhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan, China looked at case records of COVID-19 patients and found symptoms of brain and nerve problems in over a third of COVID-19 patients and in nearly half of […]

Neuroscientists construct 3D facial models using data from a person’s brain when remembering the face of someone familiar
The code that our brains use to tell faces apart has been reverse engineered. This is because, for the first time, neuroscientists were able to construct 3D facial models using information stored in an individual’s brain when recalling faces of familiar people. The study, published in the Nature Human Behaviour journal, came about as a […]

Study shows “brain zapping” can help improve your memory
A new study, published in the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, found that giving your brain a tiny zap can help stimulate parts of it that deal with memory, specifically the prefrontal cortex. Participants of this study were around 15.4 percent more likely to recall fuzzy memories, according to co-author of the study Jesse Rissman, assistant professor at the University of […]

Putting a face to a name: Research shows women are better than men at recalling verbal information and faces
Sorry, gentlemen, but women are better than you at remembering certain things, including conversations and people’s faces. According to the Encyclopedia of Neuroscience, such types of memories are called “episodic memories” – consciously recollected memories related to personally experienced events. Remembering these is a dynamic process that draws upon both mnemonic and non-mnemonic cognitive abilities to mentally […]
