Individual differences in psychotic effects of ketamine are predicted by brain function measured under placebo.
The imaging results showed that progression from MCI to AD could be predicted by observing structural brain changes, specifically cortical thinning of the right anterior cingulate and middle frontal gyri.
In the experiment at the New York Psychiatric Institute, 34 children, all of whom were 6- to 10-year-old black or Hispanic boys, were given intravenous doses of fenfluramine to test a theory that violent or criminal behavior may be predicted by levels of certain brain chemicals.
But a growing body of evidence -- brain scans, ultrasound and other techniques -- shows that acupuncture triggers direct, measurable effects on the body, including perhaps, activation of precisely the regions of the brain that would be predicted by ancient Chinese theory.
The proportions of the human brain are not those that would be predicted by a plot of the changes in proportions in other primates as brain size increases.
How your amygdala, the brain's anxiety trigger, will respond can be predicted by where you live, found researchers at the University of Heidelberg.
We tested whether this variability in perception was predicted by variability in brain structure by using three measures: gray matter (GM) density and cortical thickness measured via anatomical magnetic resonance imaging scanning, and the fractional anisotropy (FA) of white matter (WM) measured using diffusion tensor imaging.
The gene PRUNE2 was predicted by MGFM as marker for brain or midbrain using both data sets #1 and #2.
Here, we show that the responses of a dopamine-rich region of the brain are predicted by this generic but computationally specific role in the context of decision making.
DeCasien, A. R., Williams, S. A. & Higham, J. P. Primate brain size is predicted by diet but not sociality.
