Current reporting, research and professional developments across Neuropsychology, curated for psychologists and behavioral-health professionals.
Altercentric and egocentric biases (AB, EB) refer to the impact of another agentâs/own perspective on the speed with which one can report oneâs own/another visual perspective respectively. These biases are known to…
Insomnia symptoms are common and have been associated with disrupted circadian rhythms, altered eating behaviors, and poorer diet quality. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBTi) is recommended as a first-line…
A study conducted by the University of Barcelona provides new evidence on the role of the glymphatic system, which clears waste from the brain, in neurodegenerative diseases. The study shows that patients with conditions…
Glioblastoma is a malignant brain tumor and is among the most aggressive cancers in humans. Despite multimodal therapy with surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, there is still no cure. A major reason is the tumor's…
Researchers have developed a new artificial intelligence-based method that could significantly improve the detection and classification of brain tumors from MRI scans, achieving higher accuracy than conventional…
Scientists at Virginia Tech's Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC have discovered how an experimental therapy can help brain cells overcome the effects of a disease-causing genetic deletion. Instead of repairing…
Published in the Alzheimer’s & Dementia Journal, the study said that even though India’s ageing population faces a ‘dementia burden’, data on what its risk factors actually are is still quite limited.
Eye contact between infants and adult speakers synchronizes their brainwaves to enable language acquisition.
Researchers developed a brain-inspired AI model modeled on hippocampal mechanisms including cognitive maps and stochastic calculations.
A new pan-European study has identified the key behavioral factors that influence whether health care professionals prescribe new, novel or nonroutine treatments for patients with neurodegenerative diseases.
Researchers introduced Core2Edge, a human-tissue model combining patient-derived glioblastoma organoids with brain slices.
Consistent daily routines for waking, eating, and sleeping reduces physical pain and depressive symptoms in older adults, buffering against the negative health impacts of insomnia by synchronizing circadian rhythms.
Researchers at Kennedy Krieger Institute and Johns Hopkins Medicine have discovered that memory consolidation during sleep depends on coordinated activity among three brain regions, and disruptions to this activity can…
Integrated home-visit intervention package providing health, nutrition, early stimulation, and maternal support significantly reduces anemia and stunting while boosting neurodevelopment in small-for-gestational-age…
A twice-daily oral CBD/THC formulation rapidly and significantly reduces end-of-life agitation in hospice-eligible dementia patients, achieving sustained symptom relief through 12 weeks.
study shows NAC antioxidant therapy bypasses 22q11.2 deletion syndrome deficits via alternative gene networks.
Many teenagers study a second language at school, often wondering whether they will ever use it. New research suggests there may be an unexpected reward. According to scientists presenting their work ...
Many young parents actively enroll their children in early development programs, sports clubs and creative activities. But how much is too much? Anastasia Gaurilyus, a neuropsychologist, associate ...
New blood tests that detect early changes associated with Alzheimer's disease are making diagnosis easier and more accessible to patients because they are less invasive than the brain scans or spinal taps typically used…
Researchers found models with about 3 billion parameters perform almost as well as those with up to 14 billion, potentially reducing the computing power needed for brain research.
Children with a rare and often fatal genetic condition may benefit from early treatment with vitamin B3, halting significant deterioration, according to a new study.
The brain demands a lot of energy compared with other organs. However, it can also make do when energy supplies are scarce, flexibly processing information using what is available. How the brain resourcefully allocates…
Glioblastoma is an aggressive brain tumor that infiltrates deep into the surrounding brain tissue. Even after surgery, tumor cells remain in the brain and the tumor recurs.
There are 982,000 people living with dementia in the UK, according to Alzheimer’s Research UK, and this is expected to rise to 1.4 million by 2040. Avoiding cognitive decline is a priority for many of ...
Large-scale MRI analysis suggests that several brain disorders are linked to brains that appear older than a person’s chronological age. Credit: Shutterstock Accelerated brain aging was associated ...
Dementia, a progressive loss of memory and decline in mental function that can be caused by various neurological conditions, is estimated to affect more than 57 million people worldwide. Identifying specific biological…
New research suggests that limiting meals to an eight-hour window may do more than support weight loss—it could also improve memory, learning, and long-term brain health.
"SuperAgers" keep razor-sharp memories past 80, but a new study shows this is not just down to good genes.
Scientists have long worked to understand whether these so-called "SuperAgers" simply won the genetic lottery by inheriting little risk for Alzheimer's disease, or if their impressive cognition is ...
New genetic risk factors have been identified for fibromyalgia syndrome in a landmark study that involved scientists at King's College London. The study, published in Nature Medicine, highlights how the nervous system…
