How people approach the five-letter guessing puzzle could hint at their day-to-day thought processes, a neuroscience expert told Newsweek.

"It is sad that an audience of supposed scientists is unable to take any dissenting view, such as the suggestion that there really are only two sexes," a psychology and neuroscience professor said in reaction to his removal from an APA email group.

"The brain is one of the regions where virus likes to hide," researcher Mukesh Kumar said. "Once it infects the brain it can affect anything because the brain is controlling your lungs, the heart, everything."

The study involved over 84,000 people who said they had recovered from coronavirus.

The scientist is most well-known for his studies into schizophrenia and gay conversion therapy.

Psychologists at Queen's University in Canada say they have developed a new way to detect when one thought ends and another begins.

Musk has said the project will initially be used to treat neural conditions, but could eventually enhance humans and even facilitate a "symbiosis" with artificial intelligence.

The small study involved 11 COVID-19 patients in Germany.

Experiments on sheep reveal unusual brain activity that appear to correspond to human user experiences.

For the first time, the component has been proven to carry signals between neurons using very low power—which has been a major challenge in previous studies, the research team said.

Scientists monitored rats reaction to stress over a 21-day period to find out what brain mechanisms affected their susceptibility or resilience to anhedonia.

While the undertaking sounds like an intriguing proposition in and of itself, the purpose of the study is to highlight the importance of enriched environments in lab-based animal studies.

The controversial condition was classified as a disorder last year.

The perception of something as basic as whether an object is convex or concave is not reliably the same across people and populations.

Scientists showed volunteers photos of cute animals and babies and monitored their brain activity.

The subjective experience of consciousness and associated psychological processes—thoughts, beliefs, ideas, intentions and more—are products of non-conscious processes, researchers say.

"We found that people who hold radical political beliefs have worse metacognition than those with more moderate views," said the study's lead author.

Scientists are increasingly researching the potential benefits of psychoactive drugs.

Scientists believe drugs take over mechanisms in the brain which form memories, potentially offering one explanation for substance abuse and addiction.  

Scientists have examined human brain cells to find out how they differ from rat brain cells.

Researchers from Emory University have conducted one of the first studies to use brain imaging techniques in order to investigate how canines process words.

"One could imagine 'social networks' of connected brains in the future producing innovative and creative solutions to humanity's most important scientific and societal problems," said study author Rajesh Rao.
