A study has revealed tantalizing clues about what may be happening in the brain when we daydream—a question that neuroscientists are still trying to understand. While the latest research, published in ...

Life can be tricky. We have so many decisions to make. It's a good thing we have an orbitofrontal cortex and hippocampus to help us. These areas of the brain work together to help us sort through ...

Language learning is a fascinating and intricate process that has intrigued scholars and researchers for centuries. It is not only a means of communication but also a window into the complex workings ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Mark Travers writes about the world of psychology. When it comes to learning, it’s not age but our brain’s plasticity that ...

If you replay arguments long after they end, your brain may be seeking reward, not resolution. Here’s how dopamine shapes ...

Have you ever wondered what actually happens in the brain during sleep? While your body appears still and at rest, your brain remains highly active, carrying out essential processes that keep you ...
