According to a new study, seven healthy habits and lifestyle factors may play a role in lowering the risk of dementia in people with the…
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…
You’ve probably heard of many diseases and health problems that befall humanoids, but there are some strange syndromes out there that you probably aren’t familiar…
New research finds that higher levels of dietary fiber are associated with a reduced risk of dementia. Researchers from the University of Tsukuba in Japan,…
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…
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.…
According to new research, people with higher levels of antioxidants in their blood may be less likely to develop dementia. People with higher levels of…
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…
Although daytime sleep in senior citizens is quite normal, extended napping could signal Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias. Daytime sleep duration triples after Alzheimer’sAlzheimer's disease…
NeuroMechFly, the first accurate “digital twin” of the fly Drosophila melanogaster, offers a highly valuable testbed for studies that advance biomechanics and biorobotics. This could…
According to a team of scientists, cognitive impairment as a result of severe COVID-19 is similar to that sustained from the 20 years of aging…
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 have demonstrated that some stress may be good for cells, finding a novel mechanism that may aid in preventing the build-up of protein tangles,…
Scientists discover how chronic pain leads to maladaptive anxiety in mice, with implications for treatment of chronic pain-related psychiatric disorders in humans. Neuronal plasticity in…
