For the human brain, learning a new task when rules change can be a surprisingly difficult process marred by repeated mistakes, according to a new study by Michigan State University psychology researchers.

Want to create an egalitarian utopia? A rigid hierarchical hellscape? (Or an egalitarian hellscape and hierarchical utopia, depending on your politics?) You might just need to stimulate or suppress two crucial parts of the human brain.

Why are humans moral? Patricia Churchland, author of "Braintrust: What Neuroscience Tells Us About Morality," is here to explain how humans evolved to be moral beings. How did we go from the attachment and bonding between parent and child to the sophisticated moral landscape we have today? Churchland believes a big part of the answer is in the evolution of the mammalian brain. Via Sakis Koukouvis

Brain images are believed to have a particularly persuasive influence on the public perception of research on cognition. Three experiments are reported showing that presenting brain images with articles summarizing cognitive neuroscience research resulted in higher ratings of scientific reasoning for arguments made in those articles, as compared to articles accompanied by bar graphs, a topographical map of brain activation, or no image

Researchers from the field of neuroscience are introducing new concepts into the study of economics, turning the once-rational discipline on its head. One of the most recent texts to surprise economists is Paul Glimcher's Foundations of Neuroeconomic Analysis. "Glimcher is skeptical of prevailing economic theory, and is seeking a physical basis for it in the brain. He wants to transform 'soft' utility theory into 'hard' utility theory by discovering the brain mechanisms that underlie it." Via Sakis Koukouvis
