Now, researchers at the University of Missouri have determined that cognitive biases -- patterns of errors in thinking that affect judgments and behavi...

March 8, 2021. Kessler Foundation researchers have demonstrated changes in the functional connectivity within the 'fatigue network' in response to cognitive fatigue. This finding, the first of its kind, was reported in Scientific Reports on December 14, 2020 in the open access article, "Using functional connectivity changes associated with c...

Odors evoke powerful memories, an experience enshrined in literature by Marcel Proust and his beloved madeleine. A new paper is the first to identify a neural basis for how the brain enables odors to so powerfully elicit those memories. The paper shows unique connectivity between the hippocampus--the seat of memory in the brain--and olfactory areas in humans. It's like a superhighway from smell to the hippocampus.
