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...

Largest Brain Map Ever Reveals 140,000 Neurons and New Nerve Cell Types in Fruit Fly Brain
A new brain map of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster reveals nearly 140,000 neurons and over 54.5 million synapses. Led by neuroscientists Mala Murthy and Sebastian Seung, the research has uncovered 4,581 previously unknown types of neurons. The project took over four years to complete, relying on AI-assisted electron microscopy.

Why We Forget Thoughts Instantly? Brain Functions Behind Memory Loss Explained
Forgetting a thought you just had is a common experience. This happens due to the brain’s working memory, which can only hold a limited amount of information at any given time. It juggles multiple thoughts, which can lead to information slipping away. Recreating the context where you had the thought may help in retrieving it. Neuroscientists like...

Phones, Smartwatches, Other Digital Devices Make You Smarter, Suggests Study
A new study conducted by UCL researchers has found that using smartphones, smartwatches and other digital devices can improve the memory skills of a person. For the test, the team developed a memory task for 158 volunteers aged between 18 and 71. It was found that using a digital device as external memory helps people to remember the information sa...

Neuroscientists Unravel Link Between Individual Differences in Brain Anatomy and ASD Symptoms
A team of scientists from the Boston College have shed light on the differences in the behaviour of people with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and its link with neuroanatomy, using artificial intelligence. Studies have earlier suggested that there might be no single set of neuroanatomical correlation that is common in all autistic people.

Making Music and Singing Together Can Lower Stress, Improve Bonds, New Study Says
According to a team of neuroscientists, making music together can potentially boost an individual's implicit understanding of the thoughts and feelings of others in a group. Oxytocin, also known as the love hormone, and dopamine, the neurotransmitter that corresponds to pleasure and a sense of reward, is also involved when people engage musically w...
