Researchers explore factors affecting money management skills in multiple sclerosis
Kessler Foundation research team identifies executive dysfunction and depression as factors affecting the ability of a subsample of individuals with multiple sclerosis to manage money efficiently
Strength of conviction won’t help to persuade when people disagree
If you disagree with someone, it might not make any difference how certain they say they are, as during disagreement your brain’s sensitivity to the strength of people’s beliefs is reduced, finds a study led by UCL and City, University…

The difference between an expert’s brain and a novice’s
When mice learn to do a new task, their brain activities change over time as they advance from ‘novice’ to ‘expert.’ The changes are reflected in the wiring of cell circuits and activities of neurons. Using a two-photon imaging microscope…
Virtual ‘moonwalk’ for science reveals distortions in spatial memory
In order to remember where important events happened, or how to get from A to B, our brains form mental “maps” of our environment. An important component of these mental maps are the so-called grid cells. Different grid cells are…
