Speaking more than one language can slow down the brain's aging and lower risks linked to accelerated aging. In a new study, researchers analyzed the Biobehavioral Age Gap (BAG) —a person's biological ...

Neuroscientists have long listened to the brain’s electrical spikes, but those loud crackles are only the final output of a much quieter conversation. Now a set of new tools is letting researchers ...

A new study suggests that everyday multilingual habits—from chatting with neighbors to revisiting a childhood language—may help preserve memory, attention, and brain flexibility as we age. An ...

Learn more about the “glue sniffer” protein, which is able to detect brain cells’ incoming chemical signals, and what that ...

We investigated how our brains process language during real-life conversations. Specifically, we wanted to understand which brain regions become active when we're speaking and listening, and how these ...

However, there's evidence that parts of the brain involved in language, like the dorsal anterior temporal lobe (ATL), are also involved in this process—dementia patients with ATL damage, for example, ...

In their classic 1998 textbook on cognitive neuroscience, Michael Gazzaniga, Richard Ivry, and George Mangun made a sobering observation: there was no clear mapping between how we process language and ...

The social network company hopes neuroscience will give it an advantage in the AI race. Back in 2017, Facebook unveiled plans for a brain-reading hat that you could use to text just by thinking.
