Neuroscience is a group of scientific disciplines focused on the study of the nervous system. This is formed by the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. One of the main objectives of neuroscience is to understand the mechanisms of regulation and control of nervous reactions, as well as brain function. Dr. Ángeles Castro …
In memoriK we specialize in providing cognitive stimulation services that are tailored to the needs of each patient. Age, physical condition, cognitive performance, availability or economic possibilities, are some of the variables that we consider to provide the best service. Thus, we have a wide variety of patients with different profiles: those who come to …
Of all the techniques developed in neuroscience over the last few years, optogenetics is probably the one that has most quickly become standardized as a work tool in laboratories. Its use is such that striking preclinical results are already starting to be show up. For example, its use as a therapy in the treatment of …
The area of perception is one of the most diverse fields of neuroscience due to the large number of senses that exist in the animal kingdom.
Introduction. Since Lezak coined the term executive functions to refer to the mental capabilities that are considered essential for performing efficacious, creative and socially acceptable behaviour, they have gradually grown in importance in neuropsychological research. Different models have been proposed to explain their nature, but there is no general agreement as to whether we are dealing …
Definition of the mirror neuron system Neuroanatomy of the mirror neuron system motor/imitation : There are two main neuronal networks that make up the mirror neuron system (Cattaneo & Rizzolati, 2008): one formed by areas of the parietal lobe and the premotor cortex, as well as by the caudal part of the lower frontal rotation; and another …
In 1906, the Nobel Prize in Medicine was shared between Camilo Golgi and Santiago Ramón y Cajal. Golgi was largely awarded for creating a type of staining that marked neurons and their ramifications, but this one had the problem that because there were so many neurons it was very difficult to see where each neuron …
Nowadays, the video game industry is one of the most important in the world, with a large part of the population consuming this type of product (e.g., 42% of the Spanish population) and generating worldwide sales of $108.9 billion in 2017. Given the magnitude of this industry, many researchers have wondered whether it would be …
For decades, educators have been teaching and educating without knowing the neural connections formed in children at each developmental stage. During their academic and professional training, educators spend part of their time planning, programming, and trying to motivate students to develop their personal qualities, abilities and talents to the maximum. However, until recent years and thanks to pedagogical renewal movements, no one had given any thought to children, their brains, and the relevance of their brains in teaching and learning.
