A study published in Nature Human Behavior reveals that general anesthesia suppresses unique functional connectivity patterns in the brain, making it difficult to distinguish individuals based on their neural activity. This effect is strongest in uniquely human brain regions and has implications for understanding and potentially aiding consciousness recovery.
A study found that exposing older adults to various odorants at night using an odorant diffuser improved their memory and increased activity in the uncinate fasciculus.
A new study reveals that when engaging in complex cognitive tasks, the brain's activity becomes more detailed and streamlined, allowing for efficient processing. The findings suggest the brain adjusts its patterns of activity to match task demands.
