Research Shows What Happens to Your Brain When You Watch a Movie
Neuroscientists have mapped brain activity in people watching movies, showing how different networks respond to scenes involving people, objects, and action. Complex scenes activated brain regions linked to executive functions like problem-solving, while simpler dialogues primarily engaged language processing areas. The study, based on data from th...

Monkeys Study Uncovers Science Behind 'Choking Under Pressure'
A recent study published in the journal Neuron reveals insights into why both monkeys and humans struggle under pressure. Researchers found that stress impairs brain signals crucial for movement execution when faced with high rewards. The study, involving monkeys completing tasks for water, demonstrated that performance declined when potential rewa...
