…and the brain is clear: The two don’t have a healthy relationship. People who drink heavily have alterations in brain structure and size that are associated with cognitive impairments. But…
…which brain region it acts upon. Scientists found that IL-17 behaves almost like a brain chemical, influencing neuron activity in ways that alter mood and behavior during illness. These findings…
…out a panic disorder brain map, the researchers looked at a part of the brain called the lateral parabrachial nucleus (PBL) in the pons (part of the brain stem), which…
…brain fairly well, the brain cannot equally predict many of the model’s internal features. Interestingly, this is not the case when neurons from one brain is compared against ones from…
…cells can monitor the brain. The newly discovered SLYM membrane segregates clean and dirty CSF, supporting the brain’s immune defenses and glymphatic system, paving the way for targeted treatments and…

Innovative research uncovers the diverse brain changes associated with mental illnesses by analyzing over 1,000 brain regions in individuals, offering new insights into personalized treatment targets. Credit: SciTechDaily.com Mapping brain…
…study of the genetics of the brain which analyzed around 36,000 brain scans, has pinpointed over 4,000 genetic factors associated with brain structure. The research, led by the University of…
Regularly navigating multiple languages may be linked to patterns of brain communication that appear younger than expected. Credit: Shutterstock Multilingual experience may help preserve youthful patterns of brain connectivity, although…
Researchers at the University of Cambridge have found that mild concussions can cause long-lasting effects on the brain, altering how brain regions communicate with each other and potentially leading to…
Research reveals that brain shrinkage in Alzheimer’s patients varies significantly, with no consistent pattern; this finding could lead to tailored treatments based on individual brain changes. A new study finds…
