ASUS has launched a refined lineup of AM5 motherboards featuring new technologies, optimized PCIe lane layouts, improved DDR5 memory support, a new BIOS UI, and easier building features, catering to gamers, creators, and PC enthusiasts with models from ROG Crosshair, ROG Strix, TUF Gaming, and ProArt.
A large international study found that experienced musicians have a significant advantage in musical short-term memory and a small advantage in visuospatial memory, but only a minimal benefit in verbal memory, which is largely explained by general intelligence and personality traits like openness. The research emphasizes that musical training's cognitive benefits are domain-specific and influenced by personality and socioeconomic factors, rather than a direct cause-effect relationship.
Researchers at the University of Basel have discovered a direct link between brain activity in specific regions, such as the hippocampus, and memory performance. In a study involving nearly 1,500 participants, the researchers found that individuals with better memory exhibited stronger brain activation in these areas. The findings could have implications for future research on the biological characteristics associated with brain signals and memory performance.
Researchers have conducted the largest functional imaging study on memory, involving 1,500 participants, and have identified brain signals associated with variations in memory performance. The study found that brain regions, particularly the hippocampus, exhibited a direct association between their activity during the memorization process and subsequent memory performance. Individuals with better memory showed stronger activation in these brain areas. The study also identified functional brain networks related to memory performance, highlighting the complexity of brain communication during information storage. The findings have implications for future research linking biological characteristics, such as genetic markers, to brain signals.
