Researchers have reported findings that add to our knowledge of how human behavior may be shaped by the default mode network, a specific network of brain regions with both resting and task-related ...

Neuroscientists have established the existence of a biological difference between psychopaths and non-psychopaths. Neuroscientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), ...

Neuroscientists have provided clear visual evidence that a region of the human brain known as the ventral striatum kicks in during decision-making to weigh the costs versus the benefits of making a ...

For a brief moment, the best-priced performance in London was a comedy show by Western University neuroscientists. No two-drink minimum necessary. Participants in the study had their brains scanned ...

The basal ganglia play an important role in decision making and selection of action primarily based on input from cortex, thalamus, and the dopamine system. Their main input structure, striatum, is ...

The ventral striatum helps you decide whether to pay more for "next-day" delivery or choose "free, one-week" delivery to receive a package. Neuroimaging studies had previously failed, however, to ...

Scientists have uncovered how dopamine connects subregions of the striatum essential for habit formation, according to a Northwestern Medicine study published in Cell Reports, findings that may change ...

Neuroscientists from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore), University of Pennsylvania, and California State University, have established the existence of a biological difference ...
