No centre for mental bias exists in the brain, research finds. Instead, the same areas process information more slowly when falling into a bias.
A leading Spanish neuroscientist offers his view on the progress of Spanish neuroscience, fuelled by Santiago Ramon y Cajal and his disciples, during the last century.
Be it a burden or not, fear is an important warning signal that keeps us alive.
A novel therapy brings a breath of hope to a paraplegic patient. But the procedure, still under experimental assessment, frightens him.
Scientists discover that novel stimuli activate brain regions involved in the neural coding of pleasure, which explains why curiosity is such an important trigger of learning.
Experiments in mice achieve how to change a memory converting its negative emotional part into a positive one, somewhat similar (yet reversed) to what happened in Kubrick’s film.
We look at an intriguing image that encapsulates as much beauty as data. It is both an artwork and a scientific description of behaviour.
A new technology that combines laser beams and genes is allowing to decipher the neuronal circuits of the brain.
