There are a limitations of the small sample size. Also identifying treatment effect from the single area in the brain can be excessively small.
However researchers found that functional MRI (fMRI) detected responses of naproxen sodium from patients with hand osteoarthritis.

A recent research, published earlier this month in the Journal of neuroscience started to determine people with high and low dream lucidity were different in their metacognitive ability, that is, the ability to reflect on, and report, one’s mental states.

Researchers at Princeton start to make a tool that can show what people’s brains are doing in real time, and signal the moments when people’s minds begin to wander.
This is expected to change the way thinking about paying attention and even present new ways of treating illnesses.

Is it possible to diagnose autism by using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)?
The professor Marcel Just and his team performed fMRI scans with two groups of subjects. One group is composed of young adults with autism and the other is general public. The test was response of different social interactions. Researchers used machine-learning techniques, and they found the difference between the two groups.

Researchers have used the brain imaging tool to look inside the brain and predict the human’s future behavior. For example, the likelihood of committing crime, success.
In this news, it was written how and which field the neuroimaging tool was applied for. Almost brain imaging tools are functional magnetic resonance imaging, and electroencephalography.

Researchers have tried to demonstrate the moral behavior has been changed as the child gets older. The moral behavior was substituted by measuring generosity. To measure the generosity, the children were participated the ‘dictator game’, which is sharing their own stickers with anonymous child after seeing short prosocial/antisocial animations. As the results, the automatic patterns were exhibited early while the more controlled patterns of neural response appeared later during the period of seeing animation including helping and harmful behaviors.
This study was published by Current Biology in Jan. 5, 2015.

The region which has a role in navigating and realizing the heading direction was founded. This area is entorhinal cortex. The researchers said that extent of activating this region can be standard for distinguishing two group(poor navigating and well-navigating person). They called this entorhinal cortex brain’s ‘internal compass’. This news is written based on the paper published in the journal Current Biology,

People usually says the “Practice makes perfect”. The neuroscientist reveals that this sentence makes sense with scientific reason.
The speed for transmitting the electrical information from one neuron to another neuron is faster than before learning.
During the slumber, the neuron have charged to fire more strongly than it had before
3) Myelin sheath, which is insulate the electrical signal at axon, is more fatter than before learning so that it prevent losing an important information.

Researches at the University of California have discovered that video game training enhances cognitive control in older adults.
In older adults aged between 60 and 85 who trained at home by playing NeuroRacer, a custom-designed 3D video game, both multitasking and cognitive control improved, with effects persisting for six months.
