Employing cutting-edge imaging techniques, the study investigated the altered brain structure for those who suffer of dyslexia, a learning disability that hinders reading comprehension.The researchers focused on a genetic mutation of developmental dyslexia and found the organization of nervous tissue scrambled, with support cells underdeveloped and often unable to...
Being married somehow helps the body circumvent this mess, either by hushing the hypothalamus or reducing cortisol production. Coan and his colleagues conducted an experiment in which married women underwent brain scans using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). During the scans, the women were told they were going to receive...
One theory is that when we're talking, we are busy generating mental images that may interfere with spatial codes necessary for driving. Another theory holds that we're overtapping our brain capacity by attempting two challenging tasks - having a conversation and driving a car - simultaneously. "The requirements to both...
In a study published in this month’s issue of the Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience, graduate student Samuel T. Moulton ’01 and Psychology Professor Stephen M. Kosslyn used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to assess whether individuals can have knowledge that does not come from...
I must question the validity of the brain-imaging data that show children are not ready to read until at least age 5. That comes as a real shock to all the millions of us in the world who started reading at age 3 or 4. I guess we didn...
