Six minutes of high-intensity exercise could extend the lifespan of a healthy brain and delay the onset of neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease and…
A new study led by Rutgers University has highlighted the potential of innovative techniques in understanding and studying mental disorders. A new study led by…
The study was conducted by Spanish researchers from the Institute of Biomedicine of Seville and published in the prestigious journal Nature Neuroscience. Although the main…
New insights into the opposing actions of serotonin-producing nerve fibers in mice could lead to drugs for treating addictions and major depression. Scientists in Japan…
A team led by University College London (UCL) and University College London Hospitals (UCLH) researchers has mapped the parts of the brain that support our…
The findings in mice suggest a new therapeutic approach to treating Alzheimer’s and other age-related diseases. Many neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s, are characterized…
It is generally advised not to spank children due to the negative consequences that have been linked to corporal punishment in decades of research. These…
New research published in the Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology on December 7 has identified three genes and their expressed proteins that may be…
A new technique has been developed to track and measure the movement of skeletons in freely moving rodents. How can researchers accurately and precisely measure…
The discovery could immediately lead to new opportunities for drug development. Adenosine, a neurotransmitter, has been found to act as a brake on dopamine, another…
CU Anschutz researchers suspect it disrupts the olfactory tract, impacting the hippocampus which controls memory and learning. Viruses can inflame and disrupt connections between the…
Breathing is essential for survival, but taking in a breath of fresh air does more than just keep us alive. “Breathe in… Breathe out…” It’s…
Findings underline the importance of a strength-based rather than a deficit-based focus on aging and older adults. What are the keys to “successful” or optimal…
To learn to socialize, zebrafish need to trust their gut. Gut microbes encourage specialized cells to prune back extra connections in brain circuits that control…
Neuroscientists have discovered a set of brain cells that influence the motivation of mice to perform tasks for rewards. Increasing the cells’ activity makes a…
Research identifies target for potentially developing new therapies to treat age-related cognitive decline. One of the most upsetting aspects of age-related memory decline is not…
A group of neuroscientists developed a test to detect a novel marker of Alzheimer’s disease neurodegeneration in a blood sample. A study on their results,…
