Description:: Previous research has shown that creative insight problem-solving is distinct from systematic analytical problem-solving. Behaviorally, a positive mood has shown to facilitate insights but without knowing the processes that are fundamental to insight, the mechanisms as to how a positive mood facilitates insights have remained unspecified. Here, we investigate the...

Description:: The growth cone is a highly specialized motile structure with a distinctive and dynamically variable morphology. Current understanding of actin-based protrusive motility has been formulated in terms of the dendritic nucleation/array treadmilling model for lamellipodial protrusion and the convergent-elongation model for filopodial protrusion, that were based upon results obtained primarily...

Description:: A comprehensive understanding of human memory requires both cognitive and neural descriptions of memory processes along with a conception of how memory processing drives behavioral responses and subjective experiences. Noninvasive neuroimaging techniques have greatly extended our understanding of the functional characteristics of human memory, and how neural events give rise...
