According to new research, individuals who are in a negative mood may be more efficient at detecting inconsistencies in the things they read. According to…
Signals captured with fMRI from a rat brain, viewed on top of an anatomical image of the animal. Contralateral areas colored in red activate together…
Parkinson’s disease is a progressive neurological disorder that affects movement and mobility. It is caused by the degeneration of dopamine-producing neurons in the brain, leading…
Arthrogryposis, also known as joint contractures, is a condition that results in multiple joint deformities. It is characterized by the inability to move a joint,…
The Camp Fire wildfire in 2018 burned a total of 239 square miles, destroyed 18,804 structures, and killed 85 people. Researchers say it also produced…
Cocaine use disorder (CUD) causes alterations in the “methylome” of Brodmann Area 9, a subregion within the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for self-awareness and…
Spatial and temporal memory are two forms of memory that are critical for navigation and everyday life. Spatial memory refers to the ability to remember…
A recent study from the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience (IoPPN) at King’s College London has established that a blood test can predict the…
Epilepsy is a neurological condition characterized by recurrent seizures. Seizures are sudden, brief episodes of altered brain function that can cause changes in behavior, movement,…
