According to new research, the perception of odor by the brain has a predictive character. The nostrils are competing for processing smells. This is an example of binaural rivalry where there is a game of tug of war between dominance and suppression of olfactory perception that exists only in the mind of the person who [...]
For newly diagnosed early may be used the symptom of loss of smell caused by neuronal death by the APP protein. A study by the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke National Institutes of Health showed that a preceding symptom onset of Alzheimer’s disease is loss of smell. APP, amyloid precursor protein, in this [...]
The article presents the effects of the drug nicotine, heroin, cocaine and ecstasy on the human brain, showing the health consequences. It is generally known that drugs affect the human body adversely. Concepts such as dependency and withdrawal symptoms are no strangers. But what exactly drugs cause in our brain? Because drugs are substances that [...]
The woman’s brain is unique in its kind, anatomically and functionally. Analysis of genetic characteristics reveals much of its uniqueness. Men and women differ in their brain anatomy and functioning of the same. However, for centuries has been the male brain the only universally studied and proposed as a model of the human brain. Thanks [...]
All the complexity of the olfactory system in insects is regulated by a single giant interneuron. The sense of smell is crucial for eating the matching and survival, so it is important that the olfactory system is fully operational at all times. A few years ago identified a backup stem cells that can repair severe [...]
Scan the memory stored in the neural network could mean immortality in the near future. Neurotechnologies new sciences are those that analyze and control the brain and human nervous system. Recent advances allow the use of special electrodes that can connect the brain with electronic systems, make replicas of neural models, and manufacturing equipment to [...]
