Over half of patients with autoimmune conditions suffer from mental health issues like depression or anxiety, yet many are not routinely asked about these symptoms…
A new study using MINDWATCH technology found that music and coffee positively influence cognitive performance by altering brain arousal levels. The research seeks to foster…
Scientists have discovered that learning and memory rely on the structural, not enzymatic, functions of the CaMKII enzyme. This breakthrough could lead to new treatments…
Scientists have discovered that the human brain inherently uses Bayesian inference, a statistical method combining prior knowledge with new evidence, to interpret visual stimuli. This…
A new study indicates that factors causing spontaneous brain hemorrhages might be transmitted through blood transfusions, but the risk is very low. The research further…
Scientists have identified a new hybrid brain cell, sharing attributes of neurons and astrocytes. This discovery could settle longstanding debates in neuroscience about the role…
Scientists used MRI scans of children with isolated fetal ventriculomegaly and found evidence supporting an association between the condition and autism traits. The study followed…
In vitro tests have shown that two substances, A5 and C1, derived from the total synthesis of apomorphine hydrochloride, inhibit glioblastoma cell proliferation, suppress tumor…
