Modern therapies have transformed care for people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Yet the disease continues to progress in a substantial proportion of patients, even in the absence of relapses. Detecting and treating this…
USC researchers have developed an approach that uses artificial intelligence to generate detailed maps that highlight differences in how distinct parts of the brain age. The new model also sheds light on how patterns of…
Admissions applications, discussion posts, grades, and activity logs are among the most common signals educators use to gauge whether students will thrive in an online program. But two new Georgia Tech studies suggest…
Orexin neurons dynamically scale with effort, proving necessary for sustained goal-directed motivation.
A new study reveals that implicit upright posture boosts strategic risk-taking rewards and feelings of pride.
A new study shows an AI model extracting hidden sleep study signals to predict heart disease, cognitive decline, and double mortality risk.
A new study reveals that during REM sleep, the brain turns its listening inward, suppressing external sounds while intensifying processing of heartbeats.
Relative pitch sequence of imagined melodies can be decoded from intracranial brain signals to reconstruct songs.
Advancing Understanding and Treatment of Acute Brain Conditions research unit marks a new milestone for the African Brain Child research group.
Scientists developed the new approach that uses AI to generate detailed maps that highlight differences in how distinct parts of the brain age.
A preventive neurologist said hearing and vision loss are associated with a higher risk of dementia and cognitive decline.
Speech begins before a word reaches the mouth. In recordings from individual brain cells, researchers found patterns that anticipated meaning, grammatical roles and sentence structure during natural ...
Scientists have identified a molecular switch that may help explain why aging makes the brain more vulnerable to diseases such as ALS and Huntington’s. In worms, the protein EPS8 builds up with age and triggers signaling…
Vanderbilt researchers created the first selective compound designed to inhibit TAOK-1, a poorly understood protein connected to Alzheimer’s disease. They also discovered a second compound that activates the entire TAOK…
Behind each article we publish stands a team of superheroes: authors, editors, and reviewers who chose to uphold quality standards and share knowledge openly. Read more about the impact your work achieves. Volume 20…
Former rugby player Phil Vickery recently announced that he has pledged to donate his brain to help advance concussion research.
Scientists are searching for better ways to spot dementia before memory loss becomes obvious. Dementia develops slowly over many years, and by the time symptoms appear, changes inside the brain have ...
Speaking in an interview with The Guardian, Online medicine promoter explained that although Nigeria has a predominantly youthful population, between eight and 10 per cent of its citizens, ...
Alto Neuroscience's diversified pipeline and biomarker-driven strategies support continued optimism. Learn why ANRO stock is a Buy.
BackgroundSubjective cognitive decline (SCD) is considered a high-risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease and serves as a critical window of the prevention and treatment. Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation…
IntroductionTranscranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has been proposed as a potential tool for enhancing the benefits of cognitive training, but its added value for working memory in healthy adults remains unclear…
ObjectiveThis study aimed to investigate the associations between serum inflammatory mediators and chronic pain after laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair in elderly patients.MethodsFrom March 2022 to June 2023, 116…
IntroductionThe age of the world’s population is continuing to increase, and older individuals are continuing to consume alcohol. Preclinical animal research has demonstrated that aged animals are significantly more…
Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability, affecting over 15 million people each year. Developing effective therapies depends on accurate, scalable methods to assess sensorimotor recovery in preclinical models…
IntroductionSpatial memory relies on distributed hippocampal–cortical networks that are highly sensitive to modulation of excitability, connectivity, and synaptic plasticity. Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) has…
Romantic love lacks a mechanistic, testable evolutionary account. Prior work notes parallels with mother–infant bonding but leaves the genetic architecture and falsifiable predictions unspecified. We argue that romantic…
A study of about 64,000 people found that lower sugar intake during pregnancy and early life was linked to up to 23% lower dementia risk decades later.
The wife of a man diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's three years ago has lifted the lid on some of the subtle first symptoms she noticed. Cassandre Pemberton's husband, Joe, was diagnosed with the ...
A new study suggests intermittent fasting through time-restricted eating may improve brain function and memory in older adults. Here's what researchers discovered, how it works, and who should avoid ...
