A study on the effects of fermented foods on brain health has revealed that nearly all of the 200 fermented foods analyzed showed potential for…
The peptide blocks a hyperactive brain enzyme that contributes to the neurodegeneration seen in Alzheimer’s and other diseases. MIT neuroscientists have found a way to…
Neurons’ signaling can be altered by mirror-image molecules. With the help of some sea slugs, chemists from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln have found that one…
However, this doesn’t mean their mental ability is lower. Scores of verbal reasoning, matrix reasoning, and letter and number series declined; scores of 3D rotation…
A promising nerve stimulation therapy has been developed at Columbia University’s Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons, which has shown positive results in animal studies….
Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine identified four distinct subtypes of autism spectrum disorder through machine learning analysis of neuroimaging data, potentially paving the way for…
According to a recent study, individuals who engage in mentally taxing activities are likely to find it harder to go on to perform physical exercise….
