Mental Health News

  • Brain guides body much sooner than previously believed
    The brain plays an active role much earlier than previously thought. Long before movement or other behaviors occur, the nascent brain of an embryonic frog instructs normal muscle and nerve patterning and protects the embryo from agents that cause developmental defects. In addition to identifying these essential functions for the first time, researchers successfully rescued defects caused by lack of a brain by using widely available, human-approved drugs.
  • A brain-system that builds confidence in what we see, hear and touch
    A series of experiments provide conclusive evidence that the brain uses a single mechanism (supramodality) to estimate confidence in different senses such as audition, touch, or vision.
  • Stimuli fading away en route to consciousness
    Whether or not we consciously perceive the stimuli projected onto our retina is decided in our brain. A recent study shows how some signals dissipate along the processing path to conscious perception. This process begins at rather late stages of signal processing. By contrast, in earlier stages there is hardly any difference in the reaction of neurons to conscious and unconscious stimuli.
