In traditional heterosexual partnerships where the mother is primary caregiver, mothers and fathers show similar but distinct
patterns of brain activity in response to their child.
They found the mice who developed depression - like symptoms exhibited
different patterns of brain activity both before and after the stress test than those who were more resilient to the experience.
Now scientists have linked a key component of this type of decision - making — the split - second evaluation of how well things are going — to a
distinct pattern of brain activity.
Nonetheless, having found
abnormal patterns of brain activity, Schwartz then had OCD patients engage in intensive mental effort through what he called relabeling, reattributing, refocusing, and revaluing (the 4 Rs).
«It was surprising to see
patterns of brain activity thought to be instinctively activated by odor actually change with experience — and stay changed for over a month,» Dulac says.
And by looking at this
specific pattern of brain activity in 80 people, they also were able to predict the virality of these articles among real New York Times readers around the world.
Study one involved looking
for patterns of brain activity of 14 musicians and nine non-musicians whilst they participated in music and word generation tasks.
Working independently, Dulac and Anderson
mapped patterns of brain activity in different brain regions while mice sniffed, ignored, fought, or mated with other mice.
The analysis of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data focused on the variations in both local and interregional
patterns of brain activity as a function of resistance to peer influence (RPI).
Nor is it clear whether the similar
patterns of brain activity between the healthy participants and the brain - damaged patient mean that the man is having the same «conscious» experience of the film, Naci notes.
This state of arousal involves neurons in the fly's brain that respond to the female's chemical signal and generate self -
sustaining patterns of brain activity that persist well beyond the original sensory input.
Jerzy Szaflarski, M.D., Ph.D., professor in the Department of Neurology and director of the UAB Epilepsy Center, says the RNS system can be customized for each individual patient so that it learns
which patterns of brain activity lead to seizures in that patient.
And those
shared patterns of brain activity may actually pave the way for better communication between baby and adult: Babies make more sweet, little sounds when their eyes are locked onto an adult who is looking back.
Each type of implied sound created a
unique pattern of brain activity in the «early auditory cortices» — regions thought to be devoted to the initial processing of sounds.
The group looked at correlations in
patterns of brain activity across a group of people watching either a regular version of a film or one composed of the same shots shuffled around.
In ongoing experiments using fMRI, he and his colleagues have found that people exhibit different
patterns of brain activity while looking at a series of four pictures, depending on whether they've been instructed to passively view the images or to memorize some of them.
«In essence, the mice learned to repeat the
same pattern of brain activity that had been evoked previously by hearing those musical notes,» said Vivek Athalye, a doctoral candidate at Champalimaud and the paper's co-first author.
«In pursuit of pleasure, brain learns to hit the repeat button: New study in mice shows how the brain learns to
reproduce patterns of brain activity that lead to reward; provides insights for treating addiction and obsessive - compulsive disorder.»
«At the heart of these methods is the ability to test
if patterns of brain activity are more alike for two similar styles of music compared to different styles.
Andrew Feigin and his colleagues at North Shore LIJ Health System in Manhasset, N.Y., scanned the brains of 12 unmedicated Tourette's patients — some of whom also had OCD — and 12 healthy subjects using positron - emission tomography, which
reveals patterns of brain activity.
But to understand what these different
patterns of brain activity do, we need to be able to understand the information that they convey — ideally by manipulating them individually.
Michael Greicius at Stanford University in California and colleagues used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to identify
patterns of brain activity associated with different mental states.
Huang and colleagues previously reported that, during sharp - wave ripples in the hippocampus,
patterns of brain activity thought to occur during memory replay and consolidation, gamma waves were disrupted in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease.
We will examine whether and how these changes activate self -
sustaining patterns of brain activity that represent internal state and heighten sensitivity to taste and smell and trigger food seeking.
