Subliminal Learning Demonstrated In Human Brain

Although the idea that instrumental learning can occur subconsciously has been around for nearly a century, it had not been unequivocally demonstrated. Now, new research uses sophisticated perceptual masking, computational modeling, and neuroimaging to show that instrumental learning can occur in the human brain without conscious processing of contextual cues.

LONDON , August 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Pfizer Limited has launched Toviaz(R)(Black Triangle Drug) (fesoterodine fumarate), a new once daily treatment for the symptoms of overactive bladder (OAB). OAB is a condition which affects an estimated 4.9 million ...

Scientists Unmask Brain's Hidden Potential

Previous research has found that when vision is lost, a person's senses of touch and hearing become enhanced. But exactly how this happens has been unclear. Now a long-term study from the Berenson-Allen Center for Noninvasive Brain Stimulation at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) demonstrates that sudden and complete loss of vision leads to profound -- but rapidly reversible -- changes in the visual cortex.

Pubertal hormones modulate the addition of new cells to sexually dimorphic brain regions

-1|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

Structural sexual dimorphism in the developing nervous system can lead to functional differences in physiology and behavior. Postnatal, gender-based differences in cell number were presumed to be passively maintained, but here, Ahmed et al. reveal an active mechanism modulated by sex hormones that maintains different numbers of cells in sexually dimorphic brain areas.

What You Will Find Here

• Computational Neuroscience approaches the understanding of information content within neural signals via modelling of nervous system to biologically describe what neurons do, how neural circuits function anatomically as well as physiologically, and why the nervous system operate in such a manner, the behavioural and cognitive significance based on computational and information-theoretic principles.
• The cells of nervous system and how information is processed within them is at Neurobiology.
• The unification of psychological manifestation of cognitive processes with neuroscience is Cognitive Neuroscience.
• We also explore the neural substrates of Decision Making and Memory.
• The modelling of complex relationships between inputs and outputs to discover patterns in data using Artificial Neural Network is based on its adaptive structure reacting to information flow within the system.
• Tutorials, books and research papers are on Resource.
• Please put example code in Snippet.
