Current reporting, research and professional developments across Neuropsychology, curated for psychologists and behavioral-health professionals.
Doctors usually diagnose dementia only after memory and thinking problems become noticeable. By that stage, damage to the brain has often been developing for many years. Scientists are therefore ...
Less sweet treats during pregnancy and up to age two associated with lower dementia risk later in life, delayed onset of the disease and a healthier brain, according to a new study. View on euronews ...
A three-year study with almost 4,000 participants shows there’s no upper limit on cognitive improvement. Is there anything you can do to improve your own brain function in just a few minutes a day?
Unexpectedly gained free time subjectively expands in our minds, causing people to perform tasks slower and arrive late.
Ketamine and psychedelics share a neuroimmune signaling pathway involving IL-15 and IL-7, offering blood-based biomarkers to predict antidepressant response.
A psilocybin study has revealed that a single high dose of the psychedelic compound can cause lasting changes in brain function and connectivity for at least a month ...
Community gathering places cut four-year cognitive disability risk in half for older adults without regular exercise habits.
A new study has highlighted the effects of intermittent fasting on cognitive ability in older women. Participants who consumed food within an eight-hour timeframe experienced improved memory and ...
Brain-computer interface technologies help people regain communication, movement, and sensation while revealing fresh insights into how the human brain works.
Re “New Potential for Diagnosing Alzheimer’s Disease” (Science Times, July 21): Blood-based detection of Alzheimer’s ...
A gene involved in the brain’s overnight cleaning system may change how strongly poor sleep affects Alzheimer’s-related brain changes. The findings point toward more personalised prevention strategies ...
Researchers led by Bart De Strooper and Mark Fiers at VIB-KU Leuven in Belgium, alongside Niels Plath at Muna Therapeutics in Copenhagen, identified a major shift in how microglia, the brain’s primary ...
New research links diabetes and dementia more closely than ever, revealing how blood sugar may shape long-term brain health.
How does the brain make sense of what we see, hear and feel, and transform these separate signals into a coherent perception of the world?
The telomere protein TRF2 regulates non-telomeric G-quadruplex DNA structures in muscle stem cells to preserve cell identity, drive muscle regeneration, and slow Duchenne muscular dystrophy progression.
Researchers demonstrates that dietary protein restriction improves metabolism, elevates FGF21, and extends lifespan, challenging current high-protein dietary trends for sedentary adults.
Researchers identified mitochondrial plaques, an intracellular form of pathology that forms early in Alzheimer's disease and offers a new target for treatment.
A new study suggests reducing added sugar during a child's first two years may support better brain health and lower the risk of dementia and anxiety later.
How does the brain make sense of what we see, hear, and feel—and transform these separate signals into a coherent perception of the world?
Ketamine triggers a corticosterone-FKBP51 signaling pathway in female mice that prompts microglia to clear extracellular matrix and enhance synaptic plasticity, an immune-driven mechanism absent in males.
Heavy television viewing in middle age was linked to a troubling brain signature more than 20 years later. Television may be doing more than filling quiet hours. A long-term study suggests that people ...
Tether Evo has three new peer-reviewed papers on Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) accepted for publication at the Journal of Neural Engineering, Imaging Neuroscience, and Neural Networks. Two of the ...
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…
New research from the Center for BrainHealth at the University of Texas at Dallas suggests that our cognitive capacity doesn't diminish as we age like we thought.
By Richard SimaLearning a new language is good for your brain.Being able to speak and understand another tongue offers a form of mental stimulation, which ...
Researchers have uncovered a possible biological pathway connecting obesity to Alzheimer’s disease. Obesity appears to raise levels of certain fat molecules that can travel to the brain, disrupt its immune defenses, and…
Despite decades of scientific research and billions of pounds in investment, dementia still has no cure. But what about the old saying that prevention is better than cure? Is preventing dementia ...
Your brain anticipates waking by adjusting hormones and body temperature. This internal body clock, known as the circadian rhythm, regulates daily cycles. Cortisol levels rise naturally, preparing you ...
ObjectiveNormal sleep rhythms are crucial for hippocampus-dependent advanced cognitive functions. Chronic sleep deprivation (CSD) impairs hippocampal neurogenesis and structure, leading to neurocognitive deficits…
IntroductionWhile previous research has shown that single bouts of acute exercise can enhance cognitive performance, the physiological mechanisms behind this remain unclear. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS)…
