Scientists have identified the key brain regions essential for logical thinking and problem solving. The study involved a survey of patients who have suffered a brain injury from either a stroke or tumour. To explain the results, including the development of two new tests of reasoning, we’re joined by lead author, Dr Joseph Mole from UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology and Department of Neuropsychology at UCLH.

Also in this episode:

  • The origins of water on Earth is challenged in a new study
  • Rapid rise in e-cigarettes 'stalls' ahead of a nationwide ban on single-use vapes, study suggests
  • Two new species of dinosaur discovered in China within a 125-million-year-old fossil
