Monitoring brain blood flow in a volunteer with the new functional interferometric diffusing wave spectroscopy device invented at UC Davis. The new technology promises easier, cheaper measurements of ...

Optogenetics is increasingly used to map brain activation using techniques that rely on functional hyperaemia, such as opto-fMRI. Here we test whether light stimulation protocols similar to those ...

Advancements in technology combined with the rediscovery of new ‘reagentless’ activation methods—such as using light in photochemistry and electrons in electrochemistry—have changed the way ...

Researchers at the University of Tsukuba investigated whether monoamine neurotransmitters, such as dopamine, are involved in hippocampal activation even during light exercise. Dopamine secreted from ...

Cognitive functions, also known as intellectual functions, encompass thinking, understanding, memory, language, computation, and judgment, and are performed in the cerebrum. The prefrontal cortex (PFC ...
