Research — Neurothetical

Music Training Facilitates Language Learning

One of my favorite aspects of neuroscience research is the ability to identify what behaviors will yield the highest cognitive benefit by directly comparing brain region activity. This is a principle that can be applied to children and adults alike to encourage neural growth and inhibit age-related neural deficits. In this article we are going to look at music-training and how it can improve you and/or your child’s ability to learn language(s) by looking at the brain regions involved in both.

Magnetogenetics: Your Brain on Magnets

Developing new research techniques to elucidate the brain’s role in behavior and consciousness is the hurdle that neuroscientists face today as current techniques display their limitations. While the techniques we are equipped with have improved our understanding of the central nervous system, innovation is always required in the pursuit of knowledge and understanding.
