| How does the brain flexibly process complex information? Posted: 29 Apr 2021 06:52 AM PDT Human decision-making depends on the flexible processing of complex information, but how the brain may adapt processing to momentary task demands has remained unclear. Researchers have now outlined several crucial neural processes revealing that our brain networks may rapidly and flexibly shift from a rhythmic to a 'noisy' state when the need to process information increases. |
| Diseases affect brain's networks selectively, BrainMap analysis affirms Posted: 29 Apr 2021 06:52 AM PDT Researchers studied 43 brain disorders and strongly affirmed a theory called the 'network degeneration hypothesis.' This theory holds that disease-related structural damage invades functional networks used in human behavior and often repeats in 'co-alteration networks.' |
