New insights into how blood makes the brain’s immune cells toxic point to new therapeutic strategies for Alzheimer’s disease and multiple sclerosis. In individuals suffering…
HIV drug helps protect against build-up of dementia-related proteins in mouse brains. Cambridge scientists have shown how the brain’s ability to clear out toxic proteins…
New research reveals that individuals below the age of 50 face an even higher level of risk. Individuals exhibiting insomnia-related signs like difficulties in falling…
Researchers at the Paris Brain Institute have discovered a significant role for the amyloid precursor protein (APP) in regulating human brain development. APP, commonly associated…
Brain waves act as carriers of information. A recently proposed “Cytoelectric Coupling” hypothesis suggests that these wavering electric fields contribute to the optimization of the…
A hereditary condition that affects the brain’s neurons. Huntington’s disease is a genetic neurodegenerative condition that results in motor, cognitive, and psychiatric impairments in those…
A pro-cognitive agent has therapeutic potential. Cognitive impairments often coexist with mood disorders and other psychiatric conditions, often causing significant difficulties. Currently, there are only…
Scientists have mapped neurotransmitter receptors in macaque brains, discovering key organizational principles that help distinguish internal thoughts from external influences. The data, made publicly available,…
Scientists have found that stress coupled with a high-calorie diet increases the brain’s reward signals for food consumption, leading to weight gain. They attribute this…
A joint study by Amsterdam UMC and Yale University reveals that obesity is linked to a diminished brain response to nutrients, which persists even after…
Collaborative efforts from teams at the MPI Institutes located in Dresden, Dortmund, Frankfurt am Main, and Göttingen have led to the first evidence of a…
Researchers at the RIKEN Center for Brain Science (CBS) in Japan have discovered a set of related mutations that lead to intracranial aneurysms—weakened blood vessels…
A pioneering study conducted by researchers at the Laureate Institute for Brain Research (LIBR) in Tulsa, Oklahoma, has made significant strides in understanding the elusive…
A new research study reveals a diminished response to nutrients among people with obesity — and that this brain response is not recovered after weight…
Researchers have developed an early detection algorithm to predict neurodegeneration in patients with Xeroderma pigmentosum (XP), a genetic disorder causing UV light-induced skin damage and…
A computational model developed by cognitive scientists illustrates how expertise can improve the depth of planning. Chess grandmasters are frequently perceived as the pinnacle of…
New research has demonstrated that impaired myelin actively promotes disease-related changes in Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s disease, an irreversible e type of dementia, is the most…
