Scientists’ ability to recapitulate the human brain in a dish has always been hindered by the inability to model the full capacity of the brain and its development through time. | Scientists’ ability ...
Up to 60% of women may experience cognitive problems during the menopause transition. So when does ordinary brain fog cross the line into something more concerning?

Women make up a disproportionate share of people living with dementia. Longer life expectancy is one reason, but genetics, menopause, vascular health and unequal access to education and healthcare may ...
Breathing polluted air may affect more than the lungs and heart. A new study suggests that common outdoor air pollutants are also linked to changes in parts of the brain that are especially vulnerable ...
A brain disease closely linked to dementia may begin much earlier than many people realize. Researchers in Finland found signs of Lewy body disease in some people over age 50 who had never been ...
Regular exercise has long been linked to decreased dementia risk. A 2022 paper found that just 3,800 steps a day may reduce your likelihood of developing dementia by 25%, with increasing benefits up ...
Physical activity for leisure, such as walking, cycling and swimming is linked to a lower dementia risk, while the opposite applies to physical exertion as part of one's job, new research shows.
Scientists have demonstrated direct brain-to-brain communication using a system that transmitted information between people without speech, typing or physical gestures. The research led to ‘BrainNet,’ ...
Addiction researchers believe the brain changes that occur during abstinence may increase a person’s risk of relapse ...
On Aug. 22, the Hollister Edward Jones Team, together with Twin Oaks Hollister, is hosting the Third Annual Alzheimer’s Association Walk, one of 600 such events across the country, to raise funds and ...
Leisure-time exercise was associated with lower dementia risk in a large systematic review and meta-analysis. In contrast, occupational physical activity was associated with a higher risk of dementia.
Physical activity performed as part of a job raises the risk of dementia, new research suggests. Strenuous labour may not offer the same brain protection as exercising for leisure and may even raise ...
Traveling electrical waves sweeping across the brain may help determine what we notice, predict what comes next, and construct our internal picture of the world. Researchers now argue that these waves aren't just…
During cancer treatment, the same brain tumor can be treated with the same anticancer drug, but the effect can differ from patient to patient. A Korean research team has developed a chip that recreates a patient's own…
If done correctly, this one exercise move "can use almost every muscle in your body," the neurophysiologist said.
J&J's immunology and neuroscience businesses are emerging as key growth engines, with new drugs helping to offset Stelara's loss of exclusivity.
High blood pressure, diabetes and smoking are three major modifiable risk factors of dementia. New research tracked more than 12,000 participants to quantify how many years of healthy cognitive functi ...
Urban neuromodulation and neurofeedback systems have become increasingly adaptive and closed-loop. However, they still focus primarily on brain signals and often ignore the urban areas where these signals happen. The…
Attention is typically regarded as a modulatory process that amplifies or suppresses existing sensory input. Here we tested whether inward-directed (somatic) attention can instead generate bodily sensations. In a…
Visual deprivation provides a critical model for understanding how sensory experience and developmental constraints shape cortical organization. In blindness, the occipital cortex is recruited for tactile and auditory…
Lipocalin-2 (LCN2) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE). Our previous work demonstrated a significant increase in astrocyte-derived LCN2 in the hippocampal region during SAE…
Nucleus accumbens (NAc) deep brain stimulation (DBS) has been increasingly explored as a treatment modality for refractory neuropsychiatric disorders. Uncovering the accumbens network that is engaged by DBS is a critical…
Focused ultrasound (FUS) in combination with micro- or nanobubbles is a promising strategy for transiently and non-invasively opening the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to enable targeted drug delivery to the brain. Here, we…
Many bipolar disorder (BD) patients are non-responsive to lithium. The mechanisms underlying lithium (non-)responsiveness are largely unknown. By using gene-set enrichment analysis methods, we found that core clock…
With growing knowledge of the neural circuitry involved in alcohol use disorder (AUD), interest in developing neural-circuit-based therapeutic tools, including transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), for people with AUD…
Before hearing onset, inner hair cells in altricial mammals show spontaneous electrical activity crucial for proper auditory pathway development. This activity is finely regulated by descending efferent nerves from the…
To establish a rat model of cerebral ischemiaâreperfusion injury (CIRI) to investigate how chloride intracellular channel protein 1 (CLIC1) exacerbates neuronal damage and to assess the neuroprotective effect of its…
Tauopathies are neurodegenerative disorders characterized by the accumulation of hyperphosphorylated tau, leading to synaptic dysfunction, neuroinflammation, and both cognitive and motor impairments. Doxycycline (Doxy)…
Neuroinflammation is responsible for many neurodegenerative diseases and conditions. In this study, neuroprotective effect of resveratrol was aimed to be investigated in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced neuroinflammatory…
