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…

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…
Even when accounting for gender-dependent mortality rates, age at death, and differences in lifespan, women still have twice the risk of Alzheimer’s disease. New research…
Researchers from the University of Cambridge and Fudan University say seven hours is the ideal amount of sleep for people in their middle age and…
A combination of microscopy, tissue preparation, and data innovations could yield first-of-their-kind brain atlases that specify the locations and types of all of the brain’s…
Toddler’s Cognitive Development Could Be Impaired by Stress, Anxiety and Depression During Pregnancy
A mother’s stress, anxiety, and depression during pregnancy could result in impaired cognitive development in offspring at 18 months. Women’s elevated anxiety, depression, and stress…
