Juggling tasks can feel overwhelming, especially when your brain seems to rebel against the idea of switching from one thing to the next. For neurodivergent women, this challenge can be particularly ...
During the acquisition of correct rejection response, rankings of functional connection separated for cortical and subcortical regions, which is predictive of the peak timing of visual information ...
In a new MIT study, a computer model designed to mimic how the brain itself processes visual information performs as well as humans do on rapid categorization tasks. This study supports the hypothesis ...
The study found that when middle school teachers praised students at least as often as they reprimanded them, class-wide on-task behavior improved by 60–70%. Students speaking out of turn, texting, ...
Historically, locomotion research focused on walking over flat ground at constant speed, which did not capture the complex adaptations that are required in order to traverse typical, cluttered ...
Researchers find that OCD brains recruit more regions to perform simple sequences, revealing new targets for TMS therapy and symptom assessment.
