While handedness is well-known as a defining characteristic, the study reveals lesser-known biases that impact social dynamics and cognitive functions.Human Biases and Brain LateralizationHumans exhibit a strong tendency towards right-handedness,...

Researchers at the Mayo Clinic and collaborators have now identified unique molecular signatures of BBB dysfunction, potentially leading to new diagnostic and treatment methods.Discovery and Analysis of Molecular Signatures"These...
Credit: CanvasSeeing and understanding objects in our surroundings is an important job for our eyes. One way our brain does this is by separating objects from their backgrounds. We call this process "figure-ground organization." An interesting example is the Edgar Rubin vase illusion, where we see either a vase or two faces, but...
Neuralink's first human patient, Noland Arbaugh, has has some issues with the device, but still loves itNeuralinkNoland Arbaugh became a quadriplegic after a swimming accident in 2016. In January of this year, he became the first person to receive Elon Musk's Neuralink brain implant, known as the Link, which aims to grant him telekinetic...
Credit: CanvasAndrew Huberman, a distinguished professor of neurobiology and ophthalmology at Stanford School of Medicine, delves into the fascinating world of improving focus and attention. Let's explore the key takeaways from his discussion.1. Visual Focus and Mental FocusHuberman emphasizes a crucial principle: mental focus follows visual focus. Our ability to concentrate mentally is closely...

In this article, we'll explore some simple tips to help you read more books without cheating.1. Spend More Time Reading: One of the best ways to read more books is to dedicate more time...
Professor Dr. Petra Ritter's team has, for the first time, elucidated the movement of brain activity waves through a computer simulation. Previous research suggests these waves play a crucial role in cognitive functions like memory.Professor Dr. Petra Ritter, Johanna Quandt Professor at BIH, leads the brain simulation research group and heads the Brain Simulation...

Researchers observed these distinctions in the white matter, which primarily resides in the innermost layer of the human brain and facilitates communication between different brain regions.Men and...
Credit: CanvasThere are many sleeping models out there, yet we seem to be missing the mark. It's not due to a lack of information but rather the poor application of it that leads people to adopt any method that seems to fit and use it. We often fail to invest time in understanding ourselves...
