In these days, To prepare the fast-paced word or our own future life, many children are needed some ability such as intelligence ability, language skills and so on. The researchers have revealed that the children who learned the music under the 7-year-old can learn other languages easier than those who did not learn the music. This means that the music training can make our language ability more powerful. Under the evolutionary evidence and scientific evidence, the reason why the neural networks involved with the language and music can be explained.

A lot of people do the brain games such as the sudoku, cross-word puzzles and so on for improving their brain ability.
Brain games can make us do the games well by finding the number or words over and over again. That is, these games can improve our specific brain functions which can be trained. However these games cannot make other key ability( for example decision making, planning, judging) be powerful.
Then, how can we make our brain power boost? In this news, some tips are written.
Tip 1. Eliminate multitasking
Tip 2. Get away from the technology –just only for 30 minutes
Tip 3. Stop the rote thinking and Do the inspired thinking

Deep brain stimulation is becoming very precise. This technique allows surgeons to place electrodes in almost any area of the brain, and turn them up or down - like a radio dial or thermostat - to correct dysfunction. Andres Lozano offers a dramatic look at emerging techniques, in which a woman with Parkinson’s instantly stops shaking and brain areas eroded by Alzheimer’s are brought back to life.

Many congratulations!
Do you have interesting to promote your weight loss?
If you yes, there are interesting study related with exercise and craving of junk foods. Despite the body’s need for energy after high-intensity exercises, a new study reported that people are less likely to crave junk foods compared with before exercise. If you want to loss weight, thus, just do it.
Nowadays many people are suffered from insomnia. This invention, called NeuroOn, is a sleeping eye mask helps people to sleep efficiently.
This mask has brain wave sensors that collect eye movement information during sleep.
Using these sensors, this mask analyzes the duration of REM sleep, evaluates sleep quality, and even wakes people up.

You can see the brain atlas from several modalities (fMRI, MRI, PET, etc…) for a various of diseases and normal brain.
A recent research implies that electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) helps depressed patients to forget out their painful memories.
By inhibiting memory recall process using ECT, researchers found that participants’ ability to remember details of painful memory was impaired.
Moreover, they found that the effect of ECT was dependent on time, so that therapy might be effective for prolonged time.

The researchers have found that music can help the patient with severe injury to remind their lives or memory.
Underlying mechanism is not fully understood. However, music may elicit the positive and negative emotion so memory can be activated.

Researchers have found that the reading can heighten the connectivity in the temporal sulcus which is associated with language processing.
These heightened connectivity is also seen in the central sulcus even though the reader spends long time in the fMRI scanner.
