(Medical Xpress)—New research published by an international team of psychologists has shown that people can suppress incriminating memories and thereby avoid detection in brain activity guilt detection tests. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2013-05-people-guilt-suppressing-incriminating-memories.html Psychology & Psychiatry Wed, 29 May 2013 11:51:55 EST news289047096 Researchers at the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine and the VA San Diego Healthcare System have found that deficiencies in the neural processing of simple auditory tones can evolve into a cascade of dysfunctional information processing across wide swaths of the brain in patients with schizophrenia. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-11-schizophrenia-patients-auditory-cues-bigger.html Neuroscience Fri, 30 Nov 2012 16:02:00 EST news273513710 Neuroscientists studying the link between poor sleep and schizophrenia have found that irregular sleep patterns and desynchronised brain activity during sleep could trigger some of the disease's symptoms. The findings, published in the journal Neuron, suggest that these prolonged disturbances might be a cause and not just a consequence of the disorder's debilitating effects. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2012-11-poor-contribute-symptoms-schizophrenia.html Neuroscience Wed, 14 Nov 2012 13:30:55 EST news272122233 (Medical Xpress) -- A paralyzed patient may someday be able to "think" a foot into flexing or a leg into moving, using technology that harnesses the power of electricity in the brain, and scientists at University of Michigan School of Kinesiology are now one big step closer. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2011-11-scientists-harness-power-electricity-brain.html Neuroscience Fri, 18 Nov 2011 11:13:41 EST news240837203 Researchers at the University of Tampere and the Aalto University, Finland, have shown that the perception of nude bodies is boosted at an early stage of visual processing. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2011-11-nudity-tunes-brain.html Neuroscience Thu, 17 Nov 2011 10:26:14 EST news240747899 (Medical Xpress) -- In a first ever demonstration of a two-way interaction between a primate brain and a virtual body, two monkeys trained at the Duke University Center for Neuroengineering learned to employ brain activity alone to move an avatar hand and identify the texture of virtual objects. http://medicalxpress.com/news/2011-10-monkeys-virtual-brains.html Neuroscience Wed, 05 Oct 2011 13:00:06 EST news237037882
