What discoveries have been made in the last 15 20 years about the brain?
In the last 20 years, neuroscientists have made groundbreaking discoveries including:
- Identifying single gene defects that contribute to neurological disorders.
- Understanding how the brain reacts to social stimuli.
- The discovery that the brain is highly malleable, even into adulthood.
What is the new brain psychology?
The new brain is where our values, much of our personality, and our social skills come from. This is the part of the brain that needs to stay in control when we are in conflict.
What is new neuroscience?
Dec. 9, 2021 — Neuroscientists have discovered a set of brain cells that influence the motivation of mice to perform tasks for rewards. Increasing the cells’ activity makes a mouse work harder or more vigorously. …
Which areas of the brain have been most recently discovered?
Endorestiform Nucleus: Scientist Just Discovered a New Part of the Human Brain. A scientist has identified a new part of the human brain in a discovery he compared to finding a new star. The newly named endorestiform nucleus sits in the inferior cerebellar peduncle, at the junction between the brain and spinal cord.
What was invented during the decade of the brain?
Several scientific accomplishments occurred during the Decade of the Brain Among them are: the development of fMRI BOLD neural imaging and the emergence of the field of computational neuroscience. the discovery of neural plasticity and critical periods of neural development.
Who discovered brain plasticity?
Jerzy Konorski
A Brief History of Neuroplasticity The term “neuroplasticity” was first used by Polish neuroscientist Jerzy Konorski in 1948 to describe observed changes in neuronal structure (neurons are the cells that make up our brains), although it wasn’t widely used until the 1960s.
What are the functions of the new brain?
As a result, the brain constantly creates new neural communication routes and rewires existing ones. Neuroplasticity refers to the brain’s ability to change its structure and function in response to experience or damage. Neuroplasticity enables us to learn and remember new things and adjust to new experiences.
What is new in brain research?
Researchers Boost Human Mental Function With Brain Stimulation. Nov. 1, 2021 — Researchers show it is possible to improve specific human brain functions related to self-control and mental flexibility by merging artificial intelligence with targeted …
