People usually know that transcranial magnetic stimulation influence only the superficial brain area. But the researchers have found that this kind of superficial stimulation can also affect the inner brain such as hippocampus which is involved in memory. Stimulation by using the repeated TMS alter the network connectivity with the center of hippocampus. If you are interested in this article, please check out the following link.

Researchers have developed the new technique being able to work as like fMRI. This device is called diffuse optical tomography. This device generates some tiny red lights to a subject’s scalp. Using this technique, the researchers can recover the fMRI-like image which enables to measure changes of blood flows in the human brain.

Researchers tried to prove that the hypothesis about relation between parietal reach region and the parietal eye field. With EEG, the processing of arm movements is figured out after receiving visual signal from our eyes.

Forming and recalling the memory is one of the important ability for human. Some researchers have found the key region of processing the visual and sensory input as well as memory. Through this finding, device stimulating that brain region is developed to help the patient with memory disorder.

The researchers have found that the early life stress influences to the level of achieveness, romantic emotion and so on.
In detail, the children who were suffered from physically abuse and experienced any of these early life stresses have smaller amygdala and hippocampus. This findings suggest an important thing that the size or shape of brain affects how these individuals will become in the future.

Researchers have identified that brain has the same neural circuit for empathy and violence. Due to this circuit works as the binary codes, the induced feeling of empathy inhibits the intention of violent behavior.

It is said that the executive function is influenced by the musical training. Because the executive function predicts more the academic ability than the IQ, music education helps to the children with ADHD.

In this news, the formation/removal of the memory is addressed with the connection strength. Before being revealed this relationship, the strength of connection between neurons in brain couldn’t be explained with the process of the memory. However, the Malinow team have proved relationship between strength of connection and memory by detecting the long term potetiation(LTP) and long term depression(LTD). According to the news paper, it is said that the LTP is detected when the memory is formed and LTD is also identified when removing the memory. This news would be helpful to understand the way of forming, removing and retrieving the memory.

This article summarizes that what is stress and how the stress and brain is related. Stress can be divided into two parts. One is short-term stress and chronic stress. The short-term stress can be benefit for people but chronic stress can make the brain structure such as hippocampus or prefrontal cortex be shrink. These two brain regions function 1) the integration in learning and the memory(hippocampus) and 2) high-level thinking(prefrontal cortex). This article helps you understand stress and the effect of stress on brain briefly.
