For decades, scientists believed that consciousness arises in the newest areas of the brain. However, neuroscientist Peter Coppola now claims that it is primarily governed by the oldest, most primitive…
We often think of insomnia as a minor inconvenience: if you didn’t sleep well, you can catch up tomorrow. However, new research has shown that if difficulties falling asleep or…
Researchers from Brazil have investigated the effects of six common : aspartame, saccharin, potassium acesulfame, erythritol, xylitol, and sorbitol. The results were unexpectedly alarming, reports Daily Mail: regular consumption of…
A new large-scale study by neurologists at Stanford University has revealed that the biological age of the brain can predict a person’s lifespan. The team developed an innovative method for…
The stimulating properties of caffeine make it an unwise choice for nighttime consumption—unless you’re cramming for an exam or writing an annual report and need to stay awake. A new…
Scientists have long been concerned about the accumulation of tiny synthetic particles known as microplastics in human organs. A new study from researchers at the University of New Mexico has…
Scientists never tire of saying: there’s no such thing as a safe dose of alcohol. But who listens to these buzzkills? Meanwhile, alcohol abuse often spirals into addiction, leading to…
A team of researchers from the Karolinska Institute and the University of Gothenburg in Sweden has dedicated a new study to exploring biological signals for assessing the brain health of…
Research into curiosity is incredibly important. This trait is an inseparable part of human existence, driving us to learn and adapt to new conditions. But where does it originate? How…
Interestingly, the human brain has been increasing in size since the 1930s. According to scientists, a larger brain size is associated with better health and improved cognitive functions. Researchers at…
Japanese researchers have been investigating how social isolation and loneliness affect the brains of older adults. They studied 8,896 Japanese individuals aged 65 and older who underwent MRI scans. Fewer…
A TikTok video featuring neurologist Emily MacDonald has gone viral, racking up over 10 million views as she shares secrets for protecting brain health. The expert emphasizes three firm “No’s”—morning…
After the age of 35, the human brain shrinks by 0.2-0.5% each year, and this rate increases after 60. This can contribute to accelerated aging, memory lapses, and even cognitive…
Researchers from the University of Otago in New Zealand believe this to be true. Neurologists and physiologists from various countries have previously made numerous discoveries about the beneficial effects of…
There’s always room for dessert, declared a team of researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Metabolism Research in Germany. According to the scientists, the so-called “dessert stomach” does exist.…
The food we eat directly impacts not only our physical health but also the functioning of our brains. Leading British dietitian Kimberley Wilson has identified eight groups of beneficial foods…
Researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences have discovered that neurons in brain regions associated with attention synchronize as dogs and humans grow closer. Previous studies have suggested that the…
According to the findings of a new study, the brains of domesticated dogs have shrunk over the course of evolution. This reduction is primarily due to the fact that the…
Therefore, researchers claim that the color purple does not exist: it is created by brain When we see red and blue wavelengths of light at the same time, it can…
A team of researchers from Stanford University School of Medicine has confirmed that men and women are indeed structured differently. They scanned the brains of individuals of both sexes and…
A team of researchers from the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) emphasizes that the new DeWave technology is non-invasive. Until recently, scientists had been developing models for reading brain signals…
Reading a person’s thoughts no longer seems like something fantastical. Previously, scientists managed to predict a person’s words during a regular conversation by decoding the electrical activity in the temporal…
An international team of scientists has discovered that microplastics can penetrate the brain just two hours after entering the body. Researchers from the Medical University of Vienna (Austria) and Vassar…
A team of scientists from Osaka University claims that AI can read signals from our brain and convert them into images. For several years, researchers have been training Stable Diffusion…
