Researchers specifically analyzed
how different areas of the brain activate in sync with each other — a property called functional connectivity — during a period of rest.
The reason it takes children several years to learn how to write is because writing requires so
many different areas of the brain to work simultaneously, enhancing development.
Most recently, functional MRI and PET scans have shown that
different areas of the brain light up depending on whether a person is identifying colors, recognizing faces, registering emotions, or learning a language.
Furthermore, brain imaging data for these very elderly animals shows a slight loss of grey matter (neuronal cell bodies), an effect that the researchers have not yet explained, as well as significantly slowed atrophy of white matter (the neuronal fibers
connecting different areas of the brain).
BRAIN MAZE Even before symptoms show up, young people who have a version of a gene linked to Alzheimer's disease tap
into different areas of the brain to navigate through a virtual reality maze.
Though the researchers found that a number of
different areas of the brain fed into the auditory cortex, they were most interested in one region called the secondary motor cortex, or M2, because it is responsible for sending motor signals directly into the brain stem and the spinal cord.
Unknown damage Although researchers are still parsing out how
different areas of the brain contribute to normal function, neuroscience has evolved a long way from the days of lobotomies to stave off seizures.
The researchers used functional magnetic resonance imaging to look for activity in
different areas of the brain as a participant decided which of two words or pictures would fit inside the other — for example, a dog and a house.
Another study says that when you both visualize and exercise, you get some distinct neurological effects in your body, but some research says that these effects are going on in
different areas of your brain altogether!
The researchers discovered that application of a weak electrical current via the scalp helps
align different areas of the brain, synchronizing brain waves and allowing the areas to maintain the same beat.
They discovered that the application of a low voltage current can
synchronize different areas of the brain with each other, making it possible for better performance on tasks which involve working memory.
Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI)- used to document changes in the brain's structure over a period of time and allows the physician to study the connections between different areas of the brain
The researchers collected data on the volumes
of different areas of the brain and had the inmates take diagnostic questionnaires to measure for psychopathic traits.
Whereas some of the other types of visual prostheses propose
stimulating different areas of the brain from the one Pezaris is targeting, another promising project known as the Argus II Retinal Prosthesis System is expanding its U.S. clinical trial into Europe.
September 27, 1996 How birds sing Researchers at the University of Chicago Medical Center have correlated the simple notes and more complex passages of a bird's song to activity
in different areas of the brain.
fMRIs measure the rate of blood flow to
different areas of the brain, so they can relay information about a person's thoughts and actions simply through a series of images.
Differences in the brain's processing of language: People who stutter process language in
different areas of the brain.
For all fathers, the more time spent alone with their child, the stronger the synchrony between
the different areas of the brain involved in parental care.
Each of these subtypes has to form connections with
a different area of the brain that processes visual information.
To rule out a placebo effect, a control group received TMS in
a different area of the brain.
Dirty Minds is not short on moments of insight, such as when Sukel discovers that an orgasm involves as many as 30
different areas of the brain.
We know, for example, that
different areas of the brain are involved in processing color and form of visual images.
Ross and her colleagues applied magnetic pulses to two
different areas of the brain in 25 healthy adults.
