Heavy alcohol consumption alters brain signaling pathways, impacting cognitive functions and promoting further drinking. Research in the journal Brain, Behavior and Immunity reveals that alcohol-dependent…
A stroke is a medical condition that occurs when blood flow to a part of the brain is disrupted, leading to the death of brain…
The researchers found that the accumulation of cellular debris in microglia as the brain ages causes an increase in autofluorescence, making it harder for microglia…
Researchers at Cedars-Sinai have conducted the most comprehensive analysis of retinal changes in Alzheimer’s disease patients and their correlation with brain and cognitive changes. Published…
Organoid intelligence (OI) is an emerging scientific field that seeks to create biocomputers by utilizing lab-grown brain organoids as “biological hardware.” Johns Hopkins researchers break…
Dementia is a progressive brain disorder that affects a person’s memory, thinking, behavior, and ability to perform daily activities. It is commonly associated with aging…
Face blindness, also known as prosopagnosia, is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects an individual’s ability to recognize faces. People with face blindness struggle to differentiate…
Concussions are a type of brain injury caused by a bump, blow, or jolt to the head or body that can shake the brain inside…

Schizophrenia is a mental disorder that affects a person’s ability to think, feel, and behave clearly. It usually begins in young adulthood and can cause…
Researchers at Penn State College of Medicine have identified a biomarker that can be used in blood tests to diagnose glioblastoma, the most common and…
The researchers found that each individual healthy behavior (healthy diet, regular exercise, active social contact, cognitive activity, non-smoking, and never drinking alcohol) was associated with…
The researchers suggest that short-term calorie regulation is controlled by astrocytes in the brain. A high-fat diet may disrupt this signaling. A high-fat diet may…
Orienteering is a sport that combines navigation and cross-country running. Participants use a map and compass to navigate through a course in the shortest possible…
Calcium is a chemical element with the symbol Ca and atomic number 20. It is an essential nutrient required by the human body for building…
Dementia is a collective term used to describe a decline in cognitive function, including memory loss, confusion, and difficulty with language, problem-solving, and everyday tasks.…
Researchers discovered higher than usual levels of the immune signaling molecule interleukin 1β (green) in neurons (outlined in red) from the brains of alcohol-dependent mice.…
These findings suggest that better managing negative emotions may help reduce neurodegeneration. A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) has uncovered the ways in…
