| Posted: 01 Oct 2012 02:11 PM PDT New research indicates that diets that lead to obesity -- diets high in saturated fat and refined sugar -- may cause changes to the brains of obese people that in turn may fuel overconsumption of those same foods and make weight loss more challenging.  |
| Auto experts recognize cars like most people recognize faces Posted: 01 Oct 2012 12:10 PM PDT The most detailed brain meapping study to date has found that the area of the brain that recognizes faces is also used to identify objects of expertise.  |
| Tolerance for ambiguity explains adolescents' penchant for risky behaviors Posted: 01 Oct 2012 12:10 PM PDT It is widely believed that adolescents engage in risky behaviors because of an innate tolerance for risks, but a new study has found this is not the case.  |

| Eliminating visual clutter helps people with mild cognitive impairment Posted: 01 Oct 2012 06:50 AM PDT A new study suggests that memory impairments for people diagnosed with early stage Alzheimer's disease may be due, in part, to problems in determining the differences between similar objects. The findings also support growing research indicating that a part of the brain once believed to support memory exclusively -- the medial temporal lobe -- also plays a role in object perception.  |
