Current reporting, research and professional developments across Neuropsychology, curated for psychologists and behavioral-health professionals.
Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University's School of Computer Science, the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and the University of Washington have shed new light on Alzheimer's disease that could point to…
Scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have uncovered the first high-resolution structure of NBCn2, a brain protein linked to epilepsy, autism spectrum disorder and other neurological conditions, and…
Researchers found that elevated acid ceramidase in senescent cells increases their susceptibility to ferroptosis and transfers this vulnerability to adjacent tissue.
A new study introduces FlatMux, a two-photon voltage imaging platform that records electrical signals from nearly 200 neurons at up to 2,000 frames per second.
A new study shows that 3D genome architecture is altered in prefrontal cortex cells of individuals with Alzheimer's disease.
A new study indicates that the immune cell landscape of the hippocampus, a brain region critical for learning and memory, rapidly undergoes substantial remodeling beginning in midlife. This previously unrecognized shift…
Dr. Kate Diasamidze is a Los Angeles-based neuropsychologist with clinical training in UCLA-affiliated settings, specializing in ...
Bureaucracy moves slowly, and decades of outdated provisions clogging the bylaws of cities and states only make it worse. Sometimes dubbed "policy sludge," such obsolete processes and stale reporting requirements can…
A research team led by Professor Jae Youn Hwang of DGIST's Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, in collaboration with a team led by Professors Euiheon Chung and Hyuk Sang Kwon of GIST's Department…
A new study reveals that the human brain undergoes major shifts in 3D genome architecture and gene regulation starting in midlife.
The silkworm moth, whose caterpillars have been used in silk production since antiquity, may have been brought to southern Central Asia 4,000 years ago—nearly 2,000 years earlier than previously assumed—according to new…
Human sacrifice was deeply ingrained in Inca civilization. Children and young people were selected for sacrifice to appease the gods and sacred mountain spirits. Being chosen was considered a great honor for both the…
It's no secret that management at major firms such as Starbucks and Tesla isn't exactly a fan of unionization. But for other companies, how does an anti-union stance affect worker output and performance? It might depend…
Asingle dose of the mTOR inhibitor rapamycin rapidly reverses autism-like behaviors and abnormal brain connectivity in adult mice exposed to maternal inflammation during development.
The world of mathematics handed out its most prestigious awards Thursday at a unique moment for the field, as it faces pressure from AI's potential to outpace human calculation.
A new study highlights "gut jet lag", the desynchronization between host biological clocks and gut microbiota rhythms during long-haul travel.
How and why we experience consciousness is a question that has long plagued philosophers and scientists alike. We have come to understand that, when awake, our brains organize neural information for perception, yet we…
Using high-density ECoG and transfer entropy, the team discovered "informational tuning," where information selectively moves along the path of cortical traveling waves.
Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD), which notably increases the risk of stroke and cognitive disorders, is estimated to affect more than 5 million people in France alone. In the absence of a curative treatment…
Researchers from the Clinical Neuroscience Consortium (CNC), a collaborative platform jointly established by the LKS Faculty of Medicine of the University of Hong Kong (HKUMed) and Queen Mary Hospital, in collaboration…
Apprentices in private, independent companies are more likely to fail their final exams, change contracts and not complete their training than apprentices who have contracts through a training agency.
Predicting an individual's risk of ischemic stroke is difficult because thrombosis embolization—the process of a blood clot detaching from the area where it formed, traveling and then sticking in another blood vessel—is…
Loud traffic noise has long been recognized as more than just a disturbance; it is a significant public health concern. Prolonged exposure to excessive traffic sounds can contribute to a range of health problems…
A new mouse study led by UCLA Health suggests that inflammation during pregnancy can trigger autism-like changes in offspring, but those brain and behavioral effects may be rapidly, though temporarily, reversible in…
The brain is a vast, densely interconnected network of neurons computing in parallel. Watching these computations unfold in real time could reveal how the brain processes sensation and guides behavior. But the electrical…
Living with a partner diagnosed with dementia may raise your own dementia risk, highlighting the importance of caregiver health, stress management, and regular medical check-ups.
Older adults whose hearts show faint signs of strain, well below the threshold for a clinical diagnosis, carry measurably higher levels of brain-injury markers linked to Alzheimer’s disease. That ...
A human biologist told Newsweek that Alzheimer's research should stop focusing on one molecule and study the wider system.
Microscopic plastic fragments are accumulating in human brain tissue at concentrations that dwarf those found in the liver or kidneys, and people who died with dementia carried the highest loads. A ...
Psychology says people who just do two or three same steps while dancing aren't always hesitant or lacking confidence. Psychology explains that repeated dance movements often come from familiarity, ...
