This result, published March 27 in the open-access journal PLoS Computational Biology, was obtained by analyzing several hundred face images in a way similar to that of the brain.img src="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/~r/BrainMysteries/~4/RGlOw6dj8jw" height="1" width="1"/

The correlation is evident in regions that integrate information from different parts of the brain. The imaging study published this week in a special issue of scientific journal Intelligence is the largest and most comprehensive of its kind with a representative sample of healthy children and adolescents.img src="http://feeds2.feedburner.com/~r/BrainMysteries/~4/6KfGAI07nV4" height="1" width="1"/

Are you a worry wart?nbsp; I am, definitely.nbsp; I'm not proud of it, butnbsp;I have to say, Inbsp;seem to worry less as the years go by.nbsp; Maybe aging helps us tonbsp;more easily accept whatever comes along.nbsp; Maybe I have more trouble remembering what it is I was worrying about the day before.nbsp; ha!BRBRWorrying can cause us a great deal of stress, anxiety andnbsp;eventually depression.nbsp; It can wreck our relationships, interfere with our family activities and play havoc with our own mental health as well as our physical health.nbsp; Still.....many of us are worry warts.nbsp; I wonder if women are more prone to worrying than men.nbsp;nbsp; I wondernbsp;what kind of reward we are getting from spending our energy worrying.nbsp; I wonder if I'm worrying toonbsp; much about this!!!BRBRI came across a helpful and interesting article about worrying and thought I would share it with you.nbsp; It discusses managing our worrying with A href="http://psychcentral.com/lib/2009/managing-worry-action-and-distraction/" target=_blankAction and Distraction/A.nbsp;nbsp; Sounds like a pretty good idea to me. nbsp; It's been my experience that when I am busy, I am less prone to worrying.nbsp; When I'm idle or resting is the time my mind starts in again, often relentlessly.nbsp;nbsp; I'll never forget something my therapist told me years ago.nbsp; "when you're having these worrisome thoughts, change the channel, just as if it were a television set".nbsp; This advice hasnbsp;saved me many times from unnecessary stress.nbsp;nbsp; Give it a try and see if it works for you.nbsp;nbsp; nbsp;

Scientists have discovered that individual neurons in the monkey hippocampus can signal information about the outcome of experimental trials during an associative learning task. The research, published by Cell Press in the March 26 issue of the journal Neuron, furthers our understanding of outcome-selective cells in the primate brain and provides important insight into how information about trial outcomes may influence learning.

The visual system has limited capacity, and cannot process everything that falls onto the retina. Instead, the brain relies on attention to bring salient details into focus and filter out background clutter. Two recent studies by researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, one study employing computational modeling techniques and the other experimental techniques, have helped to unravel the mechanisms underlying attention.

People's primal emotions alter effectiveness of persuasion tactics

A new study indicates that some aspects of peoples' cognitive skills -- such as the ability to make rapid comparisons, remember unrelated information and detect relationships -- peak at about the age of 22, and then begin a slow decline starting around age 27.
