Neurotransmitter Ratio May Explain Why It's So Hard To Get Motivated

There is no question that motivation is one of the hardest and yet important factors in life. It's the difference between success and failure, goal-setting and aimlessness, well-being and unhappiness. And yet, why is it so hard to get motivated - or even if we do, to keep it up?

How Do We Remember the Order of Words? Single-Neuron Spiking Could Be the Answer

Did the man bite the dog, or was it the other way around? When processing an utterance, words need to be assembled into the correct interpretation within working memory. Researchers have proposed a way in which the brain achieves this where individual neurons store and process chunks of information to build up a working memory for language.
