About 20 percent of men had infarcts in the same brain region, regardless of whether they had migraines.

Previous research has linked ADHD to changes in this brain region, suggesting that there is some overlap in these disorders.
FORBES: Kids With Behavior Problems Have Changes In The Brain
For instance, one brain region called the striatum, which is involved in motivation, reward, and cognitive control, was also reduced in females with CD.

In subsequent research, Andrea Glenn and I found this same brain region to be significantly less active in psychopathic individuals when they contemplate moral issues.
The Stony Brook study goes in that direction, looking at the brain region that modulates emotion and finding that people responded differently to behavioral tests.
More recent research suggests that the same thing happens in the brain region called the prefrontal cortex, which is crucial for decision-making and attention, he said.
Imaging studies on depressed humans show shrinkage in their hippocampus, a brain region involved in learning, memory and emotion that is also a region where much neurogenesis occurs.
Scans also show that the temporal lobe, which contains the hippocampus, and another brain region called the posterior cingulate use less glucose than a normal brain, suggesting they have shut down.

The experiment also shows that a new sensory input can be interpreted by a region of the brain that normally does something else (without having to "hijack" the function of that brain region).
The reason for this, the UCLA life scientists found, seems to be that a brain region called the anterior insula, which is linked to disgust and is important for discerning untrustworthy faces, is less active in older adults.
Stanford University researchers have suggested that a lack of response to emotionally meaningful information in the insula, a brain region at the hub of the salience network, can lead to a cascade of effects that result in inappropriate emotional displays.
When they were faced with tossing or keeping their own items, the hoarders' brain responses also differed from that of the other participants: they showed excessive activation in the anterior cingulate cortex, a brain region involved with decision-making, particularly in situations involving conflicting information or uncertainty.
But the reality is that many parts of the brain work together to produce speech and no single gene, region of the brain or theory can explain successful language-learning.
ECONOMIST: What makes some people learn language after language?
Using functional brain imaging, researchers have found that ambiguity in choices activates the amygdale, the region in our brain that also gets triggered by fear or threat, while at the same time it leads to decreased activity in the striatal system, which responds to potential rewards.
But levels of brain activity in a region tied to behavioral change suggested the ranking C, B, A. That ranking better captured real-world performance.

The researchers found that the nucleus accumbens was also interacting with another region of the brain called the auditory cortical stores.
The mice that had been kept busy also showed changes in the striatum region of the brain, which helps to co-ordinate movement.
It is possible to boost the quality of sleep by stimulating the right region of the brain with electricity during the night.
Earlier research at Imperial College London showed that injections of psilocybin could calm a region of the brain which is overactive in depression.
The biggest differences in myelination occurred in the temporo-parietal region in the brain's left hemisphere the area that seems to control most language processing.
The pair recorded how cells in a region of the brain devoted to facial recognition, called the fusiform face area, code the information.
She and her colleagues first measured enkephalin in this region of the brain in rats going about their daily business: playing, running around and gnawing on non-food toys.
He was deeply pained when he spoke with the family members of a talkative professor who was rendered speechless when the implant damaged the region of his brain that controls speech.
Even though the introduced cells did not appear to travel to the affected region of the brain, the rats still did better than other rats who did not receive the cells.
He has managed to derive neural stem cells from 16 of these patients, out of a total of 22, and believes that success depends on which region of the brain is affected.
First the team showed that they could use the state of a region of the brain, called the medial prefronal cortex, to predict how much deep, or slow-wave, sleep a person would have.
He discovered that if a person who has long been paralyzed thinks "move my arm to the left, " the region in the brain responsible for moving arms--the motor cortex--fires away as if everything were connected.
Analysis of the brains of the euthanized rats revealed decreased levels of Fos, a protein marker of neuronal activity, in the amygdala region of the brain while the olfactory signals appeared to block fear responses.
Rebecca Wood, chief executive of the Alzheimer's Research Trust told BBC News Online the finding was potentially significant as the region of the brain on which the researchers focused was known to play a role in memory.
An earlier study conducted by Dr. Mujica-Parodi and other researchers found that the activity in the amygdala region of the brain, which processes emotions such as fear, was more active in people exposed to stress sweat rather than exercise sweat.
