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…
Researchers use advanced technology and mice to study dopamine neuron structure, addiction and the brain’s ability to recover. A late 1980s commercial meant to combat…
Almost all post-COVID neuropathy appears due to infection-triggered immune dysfunction that is potentially treatable. During the COVID-19 pandemic, some people infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus…
Most of what we know about how COVID can affect the brain has come from studies of severe infection. In people with severe COVID, inflammatory…
Over-stimulated immune system may be impetus to cognitive symptoms, UCSF-led study shows. Some patients who develop new cognitive symptoms after a mild bout of COVID…
People with dementia struggle to adapt to changes in their environment because of damage to areas of the brain known as ‘multiple demand networks’, highly-evolved…
Tracing connections between neuron populations could help researchers map brain circuits that underlie behavior and perception. Using a novel probe for functional magnetic resonance imaging…
Detection of subtle differences in cognitive behaviors may help delay, prevent the onset. Detecting cognitive changes early in the onset of dementia would be a…

Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers have developed and tested a new imaging approach they say will accelerate imaging-based research in the lab by allowing investigators to…
Epidemiological studies have shown that women are twice as likely as men to develop Alzheimer’s disease (AD), but the cause of this phenomenon has been…
The research, using a dataset of more than 36,000 adults, revealed that going from one to two drinks a day was linked with changes in…
Reflecting on fond memories goes a step beyond making you feel warm and fuzzy: nostalgia can reduce pain perception. Nostalgia decreases activity in pain-related brain…
Using an innovative new imaging technique, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine have revealed the inner workings of a family of light-sensing molecules in unprecedented detail…
Ever noticed that looking at photos of good times with family or friends diminishes the pain of your headache? Nostalgia has already been shown to…
