A University of Iowa neuroscience research team has identified a fundamental biochemical mechanism underlying memory storage and has linked this mechanism to cognitive deficits in…
COVID-19 patients commonly report having headaches, confusion, and other neurological symptoms, but doctors don’t fully understand how the disease targets the brain during infection. Now,…
New study sheds light on the little-known phenomenon of binaural beats, where sounds purportedly evoke psychoactive effects. A binaural beat is an illusionary tone created…
These neurons, located in the brain’s striatum, appear to help with decision-making that requires evaluating risks and benefits. When we make complex decisions, we have…
A brain imaging study of young people at high risk of developing bipolar disorder has for the first time found evidence of weakening connections between…
Scientists rely on brain-wide association studies to measure brain structure and function—using MRI brain scans—and link them to complex characteristics such as personality, behavior, cognition,…
Long-Term Benzodiazepine Use Attacks Synapses Long-term use of benzodiazepines has been linked to cognitive deficits according to Ludwig Maximilian University Of Munich (LMU) researchers. Benzodiazepines…
Research led by Mark Shen, PhD, Heather Hazlett , PhD, and Joseph Piven, MD, from UNC-Chapel Hill is the first to demonstrate overgrowth of the…
Cedars-Sinai researchers discover neurons that separate experience into segments, then help the brain ‘time travel’ and remember. In a study led by Cedars-Sinai, researchers have…
Researchers have been steadily gathering important insights into the effects of COVID-19 on the body and brain. Two years into the pandemic, these findings are…
Controlling how cells grow is fundamental to ensuring proper brain development and stopping aggressive brain tumors. The network of molecules that control brain cell growth is…
Brain cells known as astrocytes play a prominent part in tuning the changes in neuronal activity that enable memories to be stored. RIKEN neuroscientists have…
The synaptic pruning of newborn neurons by microglia depends on phosphatidylserine in the adult brain. This mechanism is essential for the maturation of newborn neurons….
Boosting the brain’s defenses could help combat the disease. In individuals with a genetic predisposition to Alzheimer’s disease, the immune cells of the brain –…
Findings will encourage more data sharing, collaboration among researchers. As brain scans have become more detailed and informative in recent decades, neuroimaging has seemed to…
New research from Griffith University has shown that a bacterium commonly present in the nose can sneak into the brain and set off a cascade…
Researchers at The University of Queensland have identified a molecule essential for regulating the repair of injured nerves, which could help people recover from nerve…
