Many diseases of the brain may be caused by clumps of proteins that clog its circuitry.
But using software that imitates a dolphin's brain may not distinguish DolphinSearch from its competitors.
This suggests that the brain may treat musical notation as a form of language.
Later on, different parts of her brain may have rewired for any areas that were permanently damaged.
Besides, it turns out the human brain may not work on a top-down hierarchical model after all.
Our brain may only identify one or several of these molecules, but our nose is indiscriminate--it reads them all.
Without sustained social interaction, the human brain may become as impaired as one that has incurred a traumatic injury.
If an unusual microbiome leads to the gut needing extra sulphur, the brain may pay the price by developing abnormally.
Another was that the brain may have the ability to heal itself.
Preventing these gobs of protein debris from wreaking havoc inside the brain may someday help fight not only Alzheimer's disease, but also Huntington's, Lou Gehrig's and Parkinson's.
Your brain may even go so far as to begin to idealize the person who betrayed you which conveniently allows you to place the blame for what happened squarely on yourself.
And while the brain may not be overloaded by 34 gigabytes of brute information a day, it appears that too many of these mental quanta are the equivalent of empty calories.
That means, just like a man with prostate cancer may not have any symptoms, a person's brain may have undergone changes that lead to Alzheimer's without visibly affecting a person's day-to-day life.
He said the pope's full lung should be able to compensate for the partial one, similar to how parts of the brain may pick up functions of other regions damaged by a stroke.
Parkinson's pathway: A cellular network linking various regions of the brain may play an important role in the development and progression of Parkinson's disease, research published in the Journal of Experimental Medicine suggests.
Instead, they argued, a fortuitous mutation in the human brain may have triggered an explosion in human creativity 50, 000 years ago, leading to a sudden appearance of personal ornaments, skilfully-crafted art, novel tools and weapons.

FORBES: Neuroscience And Literary Theory: A Match Made In Nonsense
Using imaging, scientists have shown that meditation can improve the functional performance of specific circuits in the brain and may reduce age-related shrinkage of several brain centers, particularly those that may be vulnerable in disorders such as Alzheimer's disease.
Brain tumors may sometimes compensate for Avastin by pushing deeper into other parts of the brain--even as the initial tumor shrinks, says John F. de Groot, a glioblastoma expert at M.
The notion that deep-brain stimulation may have benefits for memory was prompted in part by serendipity.
Instead, insights from brain studies may enable orthodox economists to develop a richer definition of rationality.
It is not just the brain that may be damaged after a long career on the playing field.
Others will tell you with equal conviction that an epidemic of brain tumors may be just around the corner.
Plasticity studies have also revealed that the five senses, once thought to be isolated systems in the brain, may be interchangeable.
In one application of optogenetics, scientists investigated how neurons that make dopamine, a neurotransmitter in the brain, may give rise to feelings of reward and pleasure.
As patients age, genetic mutations or unknown environmental factors may boost the production of deformed proteins, or old brain cells simply may become less able to dispose of debris.
Thanks to the plasticity of the brain, it may well be that the practice of frequently lying causes underlying structural changes in the brain.
Such an approach may aid in fundamental organizational change by providing objective evidence for the gender-specific biomarkers of brain function that may underlie above-mentioned behaviours.
FORBES: Brain Scientists Tackle Possible Biological Basis for Gender Leadership Gap
With a brain injury, functioning may be impaired depending on what area of the brain was damaged, Francisco said.
