Theta brainwaves reflect ability to beat built-in bias
Vertebrates are predisposed to act to gain rewards, and to lay low to avoid punishment. Try to teach chickens to back away from food in order to obtain it, and you'll fail, as researchers did in 1986. But (some) humans are better thinkers than chickens. In the May 8 edition of the Journal of Neuroscience, researchers show that the level of theta brainwave activity in the prefrontal cortex predicts whether people will be able to overcome these ingrained biases when doing so is required to achieve a goal.

The study helps explain a distinctly human mechanism of cognition, said the lead researchers at Brown University, and could be applied to studying and treating reward-seeking or punishment-avoidance conditions such as addiction or obsessive-compulsive disorder. Despite how we've evolved, life doesn't always encourage acting to gain reward or freezing to avoid punishment. Sometimes we must restrain ourselves to gain a reward (baseball batters can get on base by not swinging at bad pitches), or take action to avoid a penalty (tax cheats can come forward during amnesties). Acting counter to our ingrained "Pavlovian" biases is a matter of the brain recognizing the conflict between the rational course of action and the instinct. "We have suggested that more advanced brain mechanisms in the prefrontal are needed to exert cognitive control over behavior in these circumstances," said Michael Frank, the paper's senior author and an Associate Professor of Cognitive, Linguistic and Psychological Sciences at Brown. "This study provides evidence that temporally-specific brain activity within the prefrontal cortex is related to this ability, both between and within individuals."

How individuality develops? Experience leads to the growth of new brain cells
they were able to show that individual experiences influence the development of new neurons, leading to measurable changes in the brain. The results of this study are published in Science on May 10, 2013.
