Using a neural network computational model, scientists have gained new insight into how new experiences get processed during sleep. Using a neural network model, neuroscientists…
Researchers have identified a biomarker that could help physicians diagnose Alzheimer’s disease earlier, as a patient transitions into mild cognitive impairment. Until recently, a definitive…
The drug was also shown to cause sustained gains in working memory. UCSF researchers use ISRIB to block the molecular stress response in order to…
The researchers believe it is unlikely that the new molecules are addictive. According to UCSF researchers, the new molecules are the top prospects for narcotic alternatives. A…
The scientists found that asymmetry is influenced by a person’s experiences. The brain’s hemispheres are not equal. At first glance, the human body seems to…
Researchers identified neural circuit linking two separate regions in the brain governs how animals, including humans, react to a stressful situation. At one time or…
According to new research, brain changes in autism are comprehensive throughout the cerebral cortex rather than just particular areas thought to affect social behavior and…
Scientists have gained new insights into how exercise protects against neurodegenerative diseases. A special issue of the journal Brain Plasticity explores research on how exercise-induced…
In new research, scientists reveal another factor implicated in the aging process—a class of lipids called SGDGs that decline in the brain with age and…
A new study reveals that impairment in a specific brain circuit in people is linked to addiction to cocaine or heroin. Credit: Mount Sinai Health…
Researchers have identified how the brain chemical dopamine relates to schizophrenia. Researchers examining post-mortem brains confirm a long-held hypothesis explaining neurotransmitter’s connection to a debilitating disorder.…
In a new study, scientists found that stem cell-derived neurons from combat veterans with PTSD react differently to a stress hormone than those from veterans…
Unlocking the Power of Our Emotional Memory To Cure Mental Health Disorders Like Depression and PTSD
It might be hard to believe, but this is a picture of a memory. In this image, the blue dots are positive memory cells, and…
Fish oil, krill oil, or cod liver oil supplements are one way to improve your intake of Omega-3 fatty acids. One of the richest dietary…
Resilience can be learned, and can even be reinforced, according to research from the Princeton Neuroscience Institute. Findings indicate that activating dopamine could build resilience.…
A new research study has found that following a Mediterranean diet is not linked to a reduced risk of dementia. A number of previous research…

Scientists from Brigham and Women’s Hospital identified a new protein that may contribute to Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’sAlzheimer's disease is a disease that attacks the brain,…
Frontotemporal dementia (FTD), especially the behavioral variant (bvFTD), is difficult to recognize in the early stages because it is often confused with psychiatric illnesses such…
