New research reveals a compelling link between physical activity and improved memory function. Findings published in the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity indicate ...

Prefrontal cortex modulates sensory signals in extrastriate visual cortex, in part via its direct projections from the frontal eye field (FEF), an area involved in selective attention. We find that ...

Just light exercise—10 or 20 minutes of walking a day—can be enough to take the edge off. The Centers for Disease Control and ...

A randomized controlled trial conducted on elderly individuals shows that an improvement in physical fitness and cognition can be achieved by increasing daily physical activity to a certain level. The ...

Students make a model of the human brain and use it to map the brain structures that govern different functions and behaviors. explain that the brain is divided into distinct functional sections.

As much as I hate to admit it, it seems like those annoying #GymLife people may be right — daily physical activity really does do wonders for your mental, physical, and emotional health. In fact, it’s ...

Figure 1: Delay-period activity recorded in the prefrontal cortex (PFC) in vivo. Activity may be maintained in a neural network through recurrent excitation. This idea underlies the Hopfield model 27 ...

Between the time you read the Wi-Fi password off the café's menu board and the time you can get back to your laptop to enter it, you have to hold it in mind. If you've ever wondered how your brain ...

Comparing models of working memory with real-world data, researchers found that information resides not in persistent neural activity, but in the pattern of their connections. Between the time you ...

You can’t prevent getting old, but you can slow down or stop age-related memory loss through mentally stimulating activities, according to new research. A study published in the medical journal ...

Neuroscientists have investigated the reciprocal interactions between two brain regions that represent visual working memory in mice. The team found that communication between these two loci of ...

What is procedural memory in someone with Alzheimer's disease? Procedural memory is a type of long-term memory which enables an individual to perform different actions and skills. It is created by ...
