Cognitive Effect of Head Impacts on Student Athletes
Dartmouth researchers investigate the cognitive effects of athlete head impacts. Dartmouth faculty and students played prominent roles in a recent study on the cognitive effects of head impacts among student athletes. Tested at the beginning and end of one season, 22 percent of those students who participated in contact [Read More]

Suspicion Resides in Two Regions of the Brain
Our baseline level of distrust is distinct and separable from our inborn lie detector. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on my parahippocampal gyrus. Scientists at [Read More]
Let There Be Light: It’s Good for Our Brains
EPFL scientists have proven that light intensity influences our cognitive performance and how alert we feel, and that these positive effects last until early evening. Tests [Read More]
Maternal Antibodies to Gluten Linked to Schizophrenia Risk in Children
Babies born to women with sensitivity to gluten appear to be at increased risk for certain psychiatric disorders later in life, according to research by scientists at Karolinska [Read More]
Electrophysiology
Revealing the Stars of Brain Adaptability
Star-shaped brain cells called astrocytes are found to bridge the gap between global brain activity and localized circuits. Global network activity in the brain modulates local neural circuitry via calcium signaling in non-neuronal cells called astrocytes, according to research led by Hajime Hirase of the RIKEN Brain [Read More]
