Some studies say computer and video games have negative and some others say have positive effects on children and the human brain. Interestingl some of those games are designed particularly to help your brain.

After a stroke, waves of electrical discharge in the human brain cause more nerve cells to die / Researchers from Heidelberg an Cologne publish a study in the “Annals of Neurology”

One of the great scientific challenges is to understand the design principles and origins of the human brain. New research has shed light on the evolutionary origins of the brain and how it evolved into the remarkably complex structure found in humans.

Scientists at Carnegie Mellon University have taken an important step toward understanding how the human brain codes the meanings of words by creating the first computational model that can predict the unique brain activation patterns associated with names for things that you can see, hear, feel, taste or smell.

I have a big birthday coming up so aging is on my mind. Having things "on your mind" is good because the brain benefits from being stimulated.

The human brain responds to being treated fairly the same way it responds to winning money and eating chocolate, UCLA scientists report. Being treated fairly turns on the brain's reward circuitry.

Cardiff University research to improve knowledge of the structure and function of the human brain has been recognized with an award.

Baylor research team captures first images of post-concussion brain swelling.

It's well known that the left and right sides of the brain differ in many animal species and this is thought to influence cognitive performance and social behaviour. For instance, in humans, the left half of the brain is concerned with language processing whereas the right side is better at comprehending musical melody.

We all know we have a brain, but do we really understand the incredible things it does? You can delve into DNA and find out exactly how grey matter works from Tuesday 11 to Friday 14 March when Explore-At-Bristol joins forces with the University’s Bristol Neuroscience (BN) team to get really brainy.

Scientists can now “read” visual activity in the brain. MRI technology and computer models make it possible.
