Social media users obsessed with “likes” think a lot like LAB RATS seeking food – study
American and European researchers suggest that people who chase “likes” on social media share similar thinking patterns with lab rats seeking food. In their study, which is set to be published in the journal Nature Communications, the researchers found that looking for affirmation online is very much like “reward learning,” a type of reinforcement learning commonly observed in lab mice conditioned […]

Coronavirus found to have the ability to infect brain cells, says research
SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, continues to baffle even the most knowledgeable infectious disease experts. To add to the confusion, researchers from Johns Hopkins School of Medicine now suggest that the virus can potentially be neurotrophic. In their recent report, which was published in the journal Altex, the team detailed how the Wuhan coronavirus can infect the human brain and […]

If they can’t cure your depression, maybe they can make you forget you have it: Common anticholinergic drugs increase dementia risk by 50 percent

Immune cells ATTACK the aging brain and release a substance that hinders new nerve cell production, report scientists
One of the defining features of the brain that sets it apart from all other organs of the human body (except muscles) is that it is made up of cells that cannot regenerate. The nerve cells in the brain called neurons are terminally differentiated, meaning that, unlike skin cells or blood cells, they cannot reproduce. So […]

Neuroscientists construct 3D facial models using data from a person’s brain when remembering the face of someone familiar
The code that our brains use to tell faces apart has been reverse engineered. This is because, for the first time, neuroscientists were able to construct 3D facial models using information stored in an individual’s brain when recalling faces of familiar people. The study, published in the Nature Human Behaviour journal, came about as a […]

Putting a face to a name: Research shows women are better than men at recalling verbal information and faces
Sorry, gentlemen, but women are better than you at remembering certain things, including conversations and people’s faces. According to the Encyclopedia of Neuroscience, such types of memories are called “episodic memories” – consciously recollected memories related to personally experienced events. Remembering these is a dynamic process that draws upon both mnemonic and non-mnemonic cognitive abilities to mentally […]

Amazing study reveals bees can connect symbols to numbers: Insects COMPUTE
Research has established that bees understand the concept of zero and are capable of doing basic math. Now, a recent research conducted by scientists from the RMIT University in Australia suggests that bees are also capable of being trained to connect symbols to numbers in order to receive food. This experiment used a carrot and stick reward system to […]

Innate intelligence: Scientists theorize that the origins of human technology occurred spontaneously
Much has been said about the intelligence of chimpanzees: they can be taught to “speak” in sign language, some have exhibited incredible creativity and artistry, and some have even been observed to grieve and mourn the deaths of friends and family. A recent research however, suggests that there may be more to their intelligence than what […]

Scientists explain how the brain’s “inner pickpocket” identifies objects
How do skilled pickpockets figure out an object with just the slightest touch? A study from the University of Cambridge and Columbia University revealed that the brain can identify an object’s properties using purely statistical information. In sum, everyone has an “inner pickpocket” lurking inside them. This interesting finding not only explains why this form of thievery […]
