Culture: by the brain and in the brain? by Francisco Ortega, Fernando Vidal

“…Neuroanthropology and cultural neuroscience, or the “neurodisciplines of culture,” appear different, since their goal is to understand specificity rather than commonality and to address how cultural differences are inscribed in the brain.

Compressing human brain activity for studying brain function. by Bratislav Misic

“…Due to its complexity and size, the optimal scale or level at which to describe the brain remains an open question in neuroscience. A new study published in PLOS Biology shows that simplifying complex brain recordings makes them more useful for studying brain function.…”

Can Taichi reshape the brain? A brain morphometry study. by Gao-Xia Wei, Ting Xu, Feng-Mei Fan, Hao-Ming Dong, Li-Li Jiang, Hui-Jie Li, Zhi Yang, Jing Luo, Xi-Nian Zuo

“…Although research has provided abundant evidence for Taichi-induced improvements in psychological and physiological well-being, little is known about possible links to brain structure of Taichi practice. Using high-resolution MRI of 22 Tai Chi Chuan (TCC) practitioners and 18 controls matched for age, sex and education, we set out to examine the underlying anatomical correlates of long-term Taichi practice at two different levels of regional specificity. …”
