Recent research utilizing optogenetics challenges existing views on sensory processing in the brain, showing that sensory modulation during movement is primarily influenced by inputs from…
Developing treatments for Parkinson’s disease is difficult due to its complexity, involving genetic, environmental factors, and a wide range of symptoms. A recent study proposes…
A new study reveals a key group of neurons responsible for controlling left-right movements, offering insights that could benefit Parkinson’s disease treatment. This discovery highlights…
Advancements in understanding addiction highlight its genetic and neurobiological roots. Addictive substances impact brain gene expression, but these changes are not permanent and can be…
Neurological symptoms in COVID-19 patients, such as headaches and fatigue, may not be due to direct brain infection but rather the body’s immune response to…

Researchers at the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience have discovered the superior colliculus, an evolutionary preserved brain area, plays a more significant role in vision than…
Most people only consume about half of the recommended amount of dietary fiber, and it can negatively affect overall health. Fiber is key to gut…
A groundbreaking study identifies the VAPB gene, previously associated with ALS, as a key player in medulloblastoma, suggesting its potential as a marker and target…
University of Basel researchers have discovered how the brain’s reaction to surprises evolves with age, demonstrating that experience plays a crucial role in this process.…
Researchers have found that cortical gray matter thinning is an early biomarker of dementia, detectable 5-10 years before symptoms. Their study, using MRI brain imaging…
Death is not a single moment but a process involving a cascade of changes in brain activity, including the depletion of ATP and a surge…
Kauwe, Pareja-Navarro et al. identify a KIBRA-dependent mechanism to repair the plasticity at synapses that is dysregulated in neurons underlying the loss of memory in…
Researchers at Boston University have identified a peptide, PACAP, in the brain as a key contributor to heavy alcohol drinking. By inhibiting PACAP in the…
Scientists at Buck Institute found that the OXR1 gene is key to the beneficial effects of dietary restriction on brain health and lifespan. Their research…
A study by the University of Exeter, involving over a thousand adults aged 40 and over, reveals that lifelong musical engagement, particularly playing instruments like…
Researchers established the world’s largest gene bank of ancient human DNA, analyzing remains from up to 34,000 years ago to trace the spread of genes…
New research reveals that our brains can adjust our perception of time to align with our needs, a discovery made through studying Alston’s singing mice.…
A new study reveals concussions from tennis balls can occur at high speeds, especially with side head impacts, using advanced modeling techniques validated by prior…
