A recent study published in the journal Cognition and Emotion has revealed that blindness, whether present from birth or acquired later in life, does not impede the ability to process emotional speech. Interestingly, the study found that individuals who became blind later in life might have enhanced abilities in this area compared to sighted individuals. Emotional speech processing involves recognizing and interpreting emotions conveyed through speech, which is essential for navigating social interactions. Previous research has provided conflicting results on whether blindness impairs or enhan...

Every few seconds, we blink our eyes — a simple, involuntary act. While it’s commonly understood that blinking keeps our eyes lubricated, a new study by researchers from the University of Rochester has uncovered a more intricate role: blinking also helps our brains process visual information more effectively. Published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the study sheds light on how these brief closures of our eyes contribute to visual perception. Humans spend about 3 to 8 percent of their waking hours with their eyes closed due to blinking. Given that blinking briefly obsc...

How do we decide when to stick to a goal or when to abandon it for a potentially better option? Recent research published in Nature Human Behaviour has shed light on this dilemma. The study reveals that a brain region known as the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) plays a pivotal role in our tendency to remain committed to our goals. One key motivation for the study was to bridge the gap between behavioral economics, which provides numerous examples of overcommitment, and neuroscience, which can offer insights into the brain regions and processes involved. Previous research has shown that...

What role does the neurotransmitter serotonin play in fertility? A recent study by scientists from Nagoya University in Japan has uncovered a link between serotonin neurons, glucose availability, and reproductive health. Their findings suggest that serotonin neurons in the brain play a significant role in maintaining reproductive functions by sensing glucose levels and enhancing the release of reproductive hormones. The research was published in Scientific Reports. Depression is linked to dysfunction in central serotonergic neurons and is known to correlate with both reproductive and metabolic...
