Research highlights the susceptibility of fetuses and children to temperature extremes and underscores the importance of safeguarding vulnerable communities from climate change impacts. Brain scans…
In a study with 991 adults, German scientists show that the most common forms of frontotemporal dementia as well as the neurological diseases amyotrophic lateral…
Groundbreaking maps reveal the complex gene regulation in brains with and without mental disorders, enhancing the understanding of mental illnesses and potential treatments. A consortium…
MIT neuroscientists propose a new framework that describes how thought arises from the coordination of neural activity driven by oscillating electric fields — a.k.a. brain…
Yale researchers link brain regions to paranoia through a study of human and monkey behaviors. The capacity to adjust beliefs about one’s actions and their…
Researchers have discovered sex-specific differences in the nerve cells that generate pain, paving the way for personalized pain management treatments based on patient sex. Research…
A neuroscience study identifies specific brain neurons that are vital for learning from negative stimuli, highlighting their potential role in mental health. We often say…
Study shows psilocybin induces dynamic brain connectivity, linked to profound, ego-altering experiences, potentially beneficial in psychotherapy. Researchers have discovered that psilocybin, the active compound in…
Researchers at the University of California San Diego discovered that an unusually large brain could be the first sign of autism, potentially detectable as early…
Researchers developed and enhanced BARseq, a technique to map brain cell connections by gene expression, aiming to improve treatments for neurological conditions. They discovered that…
Research indicates that long-term depression from young adulthood negatively impacts cognitive function by middle age, with greater effects seen in black adults, possibly explaining some…
Crows can “count” vocally up to four in response to cues, showing complex vocal control similar to young children. Researchers have discovered that crows can…
Researchers reveal that neurons exhibiting “mixed selectivity” enable our brains to handle multiple computations simultaneously, providing the flexibility needed for complex cognitive tasks. Many neurons…
Research from Weill Cornell Medicine reveals that astrocyte receptors impact cognitive functions differently in males and females, suggesting a need for sex-specific approaches in developing…
A study reveals that maternal obesity in mice increases microRNA levels in the hypothalamus in offspring, leading to overeating. Maternal obesity impacts the eating behaviors…
Mentally stimulating activities and life experiences can improve cognition in memory clinic patients, but stress undermines this beneficial relationship. This is according to a new…
An NIH-funded study challenges conventional wisdom by revealing that blood flow creates waves across the surface of the mouse brain. For the first time, researchers…
Stanford researchers have developed an AI that replicates brain-like responses to visual stimuli, potentially transforming neuroscience and AI development with implications for energy efficiency and…
