Retinal dystrophies such as retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affect millions of individuals worldwide and remain leading causes of irreversible blindness. Photoreceptor transplantation…
Domestic pigs (Sus scrofa domesticus) have been an important animal model for preclinical studies of gene-based therapies related to the treatment of human genetic sensorineural hearing loss, due to their genetic and…
The rapid growth of sustainable finance in recent years has fueled interest in green investment, ranging from green bonds and environmental, social and governance (ESG) funds to energy-efficient cryptocurrencies. While…
A new study reveals that detailed personalized feedback from humanoid robots causes immediate cognitive overload after errors, slowing immediate recovery despite improving long-term task performance.
A new study reveals that greater Japanese horseshoe bats asymmetrically adjust their echolocation call frequencies to align with colony mates.
A new study links six or more hours of daily social media use to a two-fold increase in anxiety and a three-fold increase in suicidal ideation among youth.
By measuring allele frequency changes across adult age groups, the team identified 168 variants under active selection, including 71 pathogenic mutations under purifying selection.
A long-term hyena study reveals female reproductive inequality exceeds male inequality over multiple generations.
A new study shows that lipoic acid trisulfide (LASSS) protects hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) from age-related nitration.
Using site-specific knockout mouse models, researchers found that GIPR agonists suppress appetite via the brainstem, while GIPR antagonists act in the hypothalamus to release a "brake" on hindbrain satiety.
For parents around the world, weekend mornings often look the same: standing on the sidelines of a soccer field, basketball court or American football field. In Australia's southern states, it's often an Australian rules…
Our population is aging. The United Nations reports that by 2050, the number of people age 85 and older on our planet is set to triple. But a longer life span isn't the same as a longer health span (the number of years…
Shingles infection might help trigger dementia. And preventing it though vaccination might forestall the latter, too, studies have found.
A new study strengthens the case for exercise as a critical way to protect the brain from age-related decline, including dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
Three large-scale brain imaging studies, drawing on structural MRI scans from nearly 49,000 people, have identified distinct patterns of brain aging that track with conditions including dementia and ...
Cambridge scientists have solved the mystery of why both stimulating and blocking a particular "switch" in the brain can help people lose weight—findings that could help boost the effectiveness of obesity drugs.
Neurodegenerative disorders represent one of the greatest medical and societal challenges of our time. Despite remarkable advances in neuroscience, the ...
Sauna use is linked to improved cardiovascular health, but research also suggests it can offer brain health benefits. Dr Sood explains the mechanism behind it.
The foods we eat may play an important role in keeping our brains healthy as we age. A new study suggests that one eating plan, known as the MIND diet, may be especially helpful for people who already ...
Behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia is one of the most challenging forms of dementia to diagnose. Unlike Alzheimer’s disease, which often begins with memory loss, this condition usually starts ...
Understanding the functionality and complexity of neural networks in the brain represents a significant frontier in neuroscience and neural engineering.
and increase Alzheimer’s risk - Supporting those facing this hardship could help prevent dementia cases in the future, researchers suggest
Researchers found persistent money struggles are linked to poorer brain health later in life and may raise dementia risk.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly embedded in classroom practice in Hong Kong, following the Education Bureau's release of the Blueprint for Digital Education Development in Primary and Secondary Schools and…
A hospital's overall experience with general anesthesia (GA) or conscious sedation (CS) may influence how anesthesia choice affects patient outcomes during mechanical thrombectomy, according to research presented at the…
Supporting those facing financial hardship and reducing poverty could help prevent dementia cases in the future, researchers suggest.
Researchers at the Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery (SNIS) 23rd Annual Meeting presented an experimental neurointerventional technique designed to treat severe back pain, a leading cause of disability and opioid…
ObjectiveThe neural mechanisms behind varying cognitive ability in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) remain unclear. This study compared cortical activation and brain connectivity across ASD subgroups…
Perspective-taking, a key social cognition process, plays a significant role in shaping consumer behavior. Despite its relevance, existing research has largely focused on its visuo-spatial dimensions, with little…
In recent years, commercial lightweight electroencephalography (EEG) headsets are gaining popularity in neuroscience. These devices commonly utilize only a few dry electrodes in specific locations and signal quality is…
