Scientists have uncovered evidence that autism may include at least two biologically distinct subtypes, each marked by a different pattern of brain communication. By combining brain scans from nearly 1,000 people with…
In the earliest stages of Alzheimer's disease – the most common form of dementia – there are additional symptoms to look out ...
New initiatives at the Institut de recherches cliniques de Montréal (IRCM), McGill University and The Neuro aim to speed ...
I have over 20 years of experience assessing a wide variety of medical, neurologic, and psychiatric diagnoses, including but not ...
Scientists at Scripps Research have uncovered a molecular “switch” that appears to fuel the damaging brain inflammation seen in Alzheimer’s disease. They found that a protein called STING becomes chemically altered in a…
When an aging mouse with Alzheimer’s-like symptoms suddenly starts acing memory tests it had been failing for weeks, something ...
If you've been referred to a neuropsychologist, you may have wondered, "What is neuropsychology?" The word gives us part of what ...
An adaptive mechanism observed in virtually all living animals is the phenotypic plasticity, a phenomenon by which different phenotypes can develop from the same genotype depending on the environment experienced…
Washington DC: Researchers have shown for the first time that malfunctioning mitochondria, the cell's energy generators, may ...
Exercise may be training your brain just as much as your body. Researchers discovered that certain brain cells stay highly active even after a workout ends, and those lingering signals appear to help the body build…
Chronic loneliness has become one of the most pressing issues of our time, with a profound impact on not only our emotional ...
New research, from King's College London and the University of Porto, has mapped the histamine system in the brain. Histamine, a ...
Aggressive behavior is an evolutionarily conserved trait that supports resource acquisition and survival; however, excessive or dysregulated aggression is closely associated with neuropsychiatric disorders and social…
Grounded in science, the initiative provides everyday actions that support brain health and may help reduce the risk of dementia.
New research suggests pregnancy doesn’t impair the brain—it reshapes it, refining memory, attention, and emotional awareness ...
As traditional computer chips reach their physical limits and artificial intelligence demands more energy than ever, University ...
Preventive strategies to promote cognitive health are increasingly prioritized, yet the extent to which cognitive training yields domain-general behavioral gains and neural correlates remains unclear. Here we conducted a…
A recent study published in the journal Nature Communications suggests that a single high dose of psilocybin can cause lasting ...
Background In the last two decades, Neuropeptide S (NPS) has been identified as a key bioactive peptide in the mammalian brain, influencing fear, anxiety, wakefulness, reward, and learning. While some reviews have…
Neonatal hypoxic–ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is a leading cause of neurodevelopmental disability. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT), or photobiomodulation, has shown neuroprotective potential, but its long-term effects…
A conversation with Caroline Montojo, president and CEO of the Dana Foundation, a philanthropic organization that explores the ...
The Centre for Brain Research (CBR) at IISc has launched an AI challenge to advance early detection of cognitive decline.
Background The Hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) and its single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) potentially influence depressive symptoms and non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) among adolescents. Adverse childhood…
