Do We Really Use Only 10% of Our Brain? Myth Explained

The idea that humans use only 10% of their brains has been repeated for decades in movies, motivational speeches and popular culture. It sounds exciting because it suggests that most of the brain remains unused and that people might unlock extraordinary abilities by accessing the remaining 90%. Modern neuroscience, however, does not support this claim. Different parts of the brain perform different functions, and brain activity changes depending on what a person is doing. Across a n

Robert Barany Discovery: How the Inner Ear Controls Human Balance System

The human ability to maintain balance and spatial orientation is governed by a highly complex system within the inner ear known as the vestibular apparatus. The understanding of this system was fundamentally transformed by Hungarian physician Robert Barany, whose groundbreaking research earned him the 1914 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine (awarded in 1915). His work laid the foundation for modern diagnosis and treatment of vertigo and balance disorders. Early Medical C

Ohio researcher argues humans will always outthink AI in new book on primal intelligence

Concerns about artificial intelligence surpassing human capability have circulated for decades, but the arrival of accessible AI tools has renewed public unease about how these systems might reshape society. In Ohio, one state lawmaker has even proposed legislation to ensure that artificial intelligence systems cannot be legally recognized as people. While the idea may sound like science fiction, a researcher at Ohio State University believes it highlights an important misunderstanding of wha

Mice Study Maps Brain-Wide Activity To Reveal How Humans Make Decisions

Scientists assumed that decision-making in mammals was controlled by a single brain region. A new study published in Nature has now challenged that long-held belief, showing that decision-making is a much more distributed process involving multiple areas of the brain. The research highlights the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and the hippocampus as two central hubs of decision-making. While the PFC is known for planning, ev
