Current reporting, research and professional developments across Neuropsychology, curated for psychologists and behavioral-health professionals.
Summary: Researchers unmasked a profound breakdown in the body’s internal garbage clearance system. As we age, tissue-resident macrophages lose their ability to engulf and dispose of expiring white blood cells…
Summary: Utilizing sophisticated, non-linear mathematical modeling to evaluate a cohort of over 2,400 older adults, the investigators unmasked a distinct, curving biological relationship: regularly sleeping 8.5 hours or…
AbbVie ABBV is scheduled to report second-quarter 2026 results on July 31, before the opening bell. While investor focus will primarily remain on the continued strength of the company’s blockbuster ...
Can your brain function without food for 18 days? Discover what psychology says about prolonged fasting, mental health, focus, mood and cognitive changes.
BackgroundHuntington’s disease is a rare neurodegenerative movement disorder characterized by early disruption of frontostriatal systems, affecting motor, cognitive, and affective domains. Non-invasive brain stimulation…
BackgroundMany patients with IDH-mutated gliomas struggle with cognitive dysfunction and mental fatigue at long-term follow-up. Here, we investigate the relationship between functional network re-organization and…
BackgroundInsomnia is a prevalent and burdensome condition in primary care, associated with impaired functioning, increased health risks, and suffering. Infra-slow neurofeedback (ISF-NF) has been proposed as an…
The visual word form area (VWFA) has been proposed to function as a multiplex hub integrating both attentional and linguistic processing, yet how its functionally distinct subregions dynamically reconfigure their network…
Summary: Researchers engineered the first sensory-guided joint learning framework for noninvasive BCIs. By creating a unified, two-way loop that aligns the human brain’s trial-and-error learning with the machine’s…
Summary: A new study establishes the long-term prognostic power of the blood-based biomarker p-tau217. The analysis reveals that asymptomatic individuals presenting with very high baseline p-tau217 concentrations face an…
Summary: A joint research initiative has introduced Centered Daydreaming. By combining simultaneous daytime learning and nocturnal pruning, and shifting the network’s focus to local sequence deviations rather than…
Researchers have discovered that a microscopic skeleton inside neurons does much more than hold cells together. It acts as a gatekeeper that controls what brain cells absorb and when they absorb it. When this protective…
"The 2026 Klerman and Freedman Prize honorees are advancing some of the most promising frontiers in brain and behavior research, from mood and sleep circuitry and scalable psychotherapies to the neural mechanisms…
Learn why preventive healthcare remains important after an early-stage Alzheimer’s diagnosis, which care should continue, and how to make informed health decisions.
Soin Neuroscience announced today that it sold intellectual property related to spinal cord stimulation (SCS) to Biotronik Neuro.
Background POEMS syndrome is a rare, life-threatening multisystem disease driven by clonal plasma cell proliferation and characterised by disabling neuropathy, a monoclonal plasma cell disorder and diagnostic…
Background Small fibre neuropathy (SFN) affects small myelinated A- and unmyelinated C-fibres and causes neuropathic pain and autonomic symptoms. Earlier Dutch estimates, over a decade old, reported a minimum prevalence…
Background Differences in brain atrophy rates between patients with aquaporin-4 IgG-positive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (AQP4Ab+NMOSD) and healthy controls (HCs), as well as the impact of biologic agents…
Background Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major public health concern with significant morbidity and mortality. Mental health disorders (MHDs) are known to arise after TBI. Conversely, we assessed the relationship…
Background Functional movement disorder (FMD) is a common cause of debilitating symptoms in neurology patients. Due to the stigma that is associated with FMD, it is possible that discrepancies between patient and…
Background Functional seizures (FS) and functional motor symptoms (FMS), subtypes of functional neurological disorder, may involve shared and distinct predisposing, precipitating, perpetuating and triggering (PPPT)…
The classification and management of central nervous system (CNS) tumours have undergone substantial transformation over the past two decades, with the recognition of an expanding set of molecularly defined disease…
Background Autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHSCT) represents a treatment option for highly aggressive multiple sclerosis (MS). Here, we report outcome analyses from the two largest German centres…
Background Despite the impact of depression in multiple sclerosis (MS), the neurobiological mechanisms underlying its pathogenesis are still poorly understood. Disrupted functional connectivity (FC) within the reward…
Background Metformin demonstrates antiepileptogenic (primary prevention) and antiseizure (symptom control) properties in animal models of epilepsy. It is unclear whether these effects translate to humans, particularly…
Background Regulatory authorities have raised concerns about potential teratogenic and neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) risks associated with paternal valproate use during spermatogenesis, leading to restrictions. We…
In a population-based cohort study by Razaz et al,1 risks of neurodevelopmental disorders in 2051 children of fathers taking valproate monotherapy during spermatogenesis were no different to those taking levetiracetam or…
Why do some children with autism communicate more easily than others, even when they hear the same words? Researchers from the University of Virginia believe the answer may lie in the brain's ...
Feeling nervous before stepping onto a stage doesn't mean you're incapable, it often means your brain cares about performing well. Psychology says people who have stage fright are often responding to ...
IntroductionCommunication is a fundamental human right and should not be constrained by disability; advances in modern technology are reshaping how communication is conceived and delivered, creating new possibilities for…
