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.

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.

Music is one of the language that works on our emotion. The functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study have revealed that the music elicit out brain to activate as like we dialogize when two musician plays to the instruments.
Additionally, it is identified that the different types of music make our brain activate differently. See how tango has own map.

Conceptual art is that the idea or concept is regarded as the important aspect of the work. One of the conceptual artist Lena Park manipulated the vibration of the water by using the brain waves in real-time. She uses five metal dishes as the speakers and these speakers are correlated with specific emotions: sadness, anger, hatred, desire, and happiness. To perform this, she used EEG headset (wireless EEG).

Chlidren born without corpus callosum can develop new connection to link two brains. This new connection is expected to be created during the mother’s womb and this new pathway don’t exist in normal people.
The high visit-to-visit variability blood pressure is linked with declined cognitive function.
This result is investigated by experiment aimed at elderly aged 70 to 82.
