by different regions of the brain.»
So far, efforts to find a brain signature of consciousness have focused on the intensity of neural activity, how long it lasts, and whether signals tend to be synchronised
across different regions of the brain.
Similarly, abusive treatment, adverse childhood conditions, impulsivity decrease the growth
of different regions of the brain as a study conducted by biologists and psychoanalysts.
In an effort to disentangle the roles that
different regions of the brain play in complex problem solving, researchers have traced the networks of neurons activated in chess players» brains as they contemplate their next move.
The Brain Activity Map project launched recently by President Obama — and funded to the tune of $ 100 million in the US budget announcement earlier this month — highlights the need for research that focuses both on how individual neurons work and the ways that
different regions of the brain work together as a unit.
That device, about the size of a coffee cup saucer, creates a small sphere of acoustic energy that can be aimed
at different regions of the brain to excite brain tissue.
Last September the institute released a complete genomic map of the mouse brain — a free, searchable, three - dimensional analysis of 21,000 genes (including 85million images) that will help neuroscientists understand how
different regions of the brain operate and interact.
But Ortigue and Bianchi - Demicheli were able, for the first time, to observe
when different regions of the brain became active, combining the readings into an extraordinary movie:
The Human Connectome Project is using magnetic resonance imaging to track the fibres that connect
different regions of the brain on the millimetre scale, giving a rough - grained roadmap of the brain.
Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine have demonstrated that distinct types of glioblastoma, the most common form of brain cancer in adults, tend to develop
in different regions of the brain.
To appreciate the neurobiological processes underlying this development, it is important to have a basic understanding of brain structure and the neural connections
among different regions of the brain, as illustrated in Figure 2.
The inspiration for «Just Breathe» first came about a little over a year ago when I overheard my then 5 - year - old son talking with his friend about how emotions
affect different regions of the brain, and how to calm down by taking deep breaths — all things they were beginning to learn in Kindergarten at their new school, Citizens of the World Charter School, in Mar Vista, CA.
The advent of optogenetics has made it possible to study the various inputs that come
from different regions of the brain, and their positive or negative effects on reward seeking, and their role in drug response in mice and rats.
Assumptions are often made that differences in patterns of brain activation between females and males in a particular task must mean that females and males use different mental processes to complete that task; however, mental processes are highly complex and involve interaction between
many different regions of the brain (Fine, 2013).
How all this information is assimilated by
the different regions of the brain is not known at present.
Focusing on the neural pathway from the brain's prefrontal cortex to the amygdala, they combined optogenetics — a technique that uses light to control the activity of neurons in living tissue — with behavioral testing, a methodology that allows researchers to study functional connections between
different regions of the brain.
One of Cohen's main tools was functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), the same instrument Greene and Cushman used to observe blood oxygen levels in
different regions of the brain.
«It's about the different types of cells and the connectivity between
different regions of the brain.
Each of us processes music in different regions of the brain
Although these tumors originate in
different regions of the brain, all of them originate near or can spread to the cerebral cortex, the brain's highly folded outer layer that helps us perceive the world, form conscious thoughts and use language.
It allows them to see brainwaves that move at different frequencies, creating a brain map showing more or less activity in
different regions of the brain.
In their new Science paper, the researchers analyzed gene expression in single cells across key developmental time points and from
different regions of the brain.
Using MRI, the researchers studied the pattern of nerve fibers projecting from the corpus callosum to
different regions of the brain.
Tapping into the electrical chatter between
different regions of the brain may provide a new way to predict and prevent depression, according to new research by Duke University neuroscientists and electrical engineers.
A small - world organization of the brain network suggests a high level of local neighborhood clustering, responsible for efficient local information processing, together with the existence of several long - distance connections that ensure a high level of global communication efficiency across the network and integration of information between
the different regions of the brain (Watts and Strogatz, 1998; Latora and Marchiori, 2001; Stam and Reijneveld, 2007; Bullmore and Sporns, 2009).
Newswise — Researchers at University of California San Diego School of Medicine have demonstrated that distinct types of glioblastoma, the most common form of brain cancer in adults, tend to develop in
different regions of the brain.
