MIT researchers have found that neurons of the anteroventral thalamus (labeled green) play a critical role in spatial working memory. Neurons of the anterodorsal thalamus…
Our brain makes us who we are. It dictates every movement we make, and every decision we take, so it makes sense that we should…
New research finds that longer breastfeeding durations were associated with higher verbal and spatial cognitive scores during childhood. Breastfeeding duration is linked with improved cognitive…
Scientists have found a key molecular mechanism behind memory linking. They’ve also discovered a way to restore this brain function in middle-aged mice – and…
Scientists at the Francis Crick Institute have developed an imaging technique to capture information about the structure and function of brain tissue at subcellular level…
According to new research, the neurotransmitter dopamine is involved in recognizing emotion. The reward neurotransmitter also contributes to social cognition. The neurotransmitter dopamine, famous for…
Microwave ovens are safe and don’t cause cancer, but exposure to certain extremely high-powered microwave and radio frequencies may result in high stresses within the…
Comparisons of four representative 3.0-T brain MRI scans of choroid plexus (CP) volume (red) according to disease stage over the cognitive impairment spectrum. CP volume…
According to neuroscientists, new research suggests that a specific gene commonly associated with Parkinson’s may be behind vocal-related symptoms that are typical of the disease.…
In an experiment on mice, transplanting fecal microbiota from young into old reversed hallmarks of aging in the gut, eyes, and brain In the quest…
Brain networks can play role in weight-loss success Wake Forest University School of Medicine researchers discovered that two specific brain networks can greatly impact how…
The new research describes the implantation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to replace dopamine-producing neurons destroyed by Parkinson’s disease. Such cells not only survive…
Newly Discovered Neural Network Gets Visual and Motor Circuits in Sync A fruit fly walks on a small styrofoam ball fashioned into a floating 3D…
Researchers from the University of Cambridge and Fudan University say seven hours is the ideal amount of sleep for people in their middle age and…
A combination of microscopy, tissue preparation, and data innovations could yield first-of-their-kind brain atlases that specify the locations and types of all of the brain’s…
Toddler’s Cognitive Development Could Be Impaired by Stress, Anxiety and Depression During Pregnancy
A mother’s stress, anxiety, and depression during pregnancy could result in impaired cognitive development in offspring at 18 months. Women’s elevated anxiety, depression, and stress…
