Study results show elevated blood flow and improved oxygenation in the brain of patients suffering from cognitive impairment. Credit: Tel Aviv University Reversal of the…
Physical activity has greatest benefits for people with worse disease pathology. No one will disagree that an active lifestyle is good for you, but it…
A first-of-its-kind study led by researchers at Georgia State reveals surprising new information about the relationship between neuron activity and blood flow deep in the…
MIT researchers have found regions of the infant visual cortex that show strong preferences for either faces, bodies, or scenes, just as they do in…
Brain mechanism identified that tracks angular head motion during navigation. To navigate successfully in an environment, you need to continuously track the speed and direction…
Scientists from the RIKEN Center for Brain Science (CBS) and collaborators in Japan have discovered particular neurons in the brain that monitor whether predictions made…
Human neurons have fewer ion channels, which might have allowed the human brain to divert energy to other neural processes. Neurons communicate with each other…
Findings published recently reveal new insights into the role of fat cells in cognitive decline and neurodegeneration, according to a study that involves the oxidant…
Unusual clusters on neurons are calcium-signaling “hotspots” that activate gene transcription, allowing neurons to produce crucial proteins. For 30 years, mysterious clusters of proteins found…
In an unexpected discovery, Georgetown University Medical Center researchers have identified what appears to be a significant vascular defect in patients with moderately severe Parkinson’s…
A University of Minnesota Medical School study indicates this method could be a new approach to treating a variety of severe mental illnesses. In a…
In a new paper, scientists suggest that efforts to understand human cognition should expand beyond the study of individual brains. They call on neuroscientists to…

MIT researchers have discovered a gene linked to cognitive resilience in the elderly. Environmental enrichment, they find, appears to activate the MEF2 protein, which controls…
The study adds to the growing body of research on the role of the brain in obesity, now a global epidemic. Researchers are examining neurons…
Neuroscientists find the internal workings of next-word prediction models resemble those of language-processing centers in the brain. In the past few years, artificial intelligence models…

A computer network closely modeled on part of the human brain is enabling new insights into the way our brains process moving images — and…
Healthy people with a higher genetic risk of Alzheimer’sAlzheimer’s disease is a disease that attacks the brain, causing a decline in mental ability that worsens…
