Neuroscience Research Articles
A new closed-loop, acoustic stimulation technique significantly improves sleep quality and autonomic immune system function, and reduces symptoms of insomnia.
Perspective-taking and empathy not only reduce the temptation to cheat on a partner, but they also help protect against other relationship-destroying behaviors.
Poor literacy skills or being illiterate is associated with an increased risk of developing anxiety and depression, researchers say. Additionally, poor literacy is also linked to increased feelings of loneliness.
A simple motion like a push of a button can send ripples of activity across neurons spanning the entire brain, a new study reports.
Alterations in the cerebral neural network could function as a biomarker for the early diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment, Alzheimer's disease, and Lewy Body dementia.
Science research articles covering neurology, brain cancer, traumatic brain injuries, neurosurgery, neuroanatomy, brain research and neurological disorders.
A newly developed blood-based test reveals changes in hippocampal neurogenesis up to 3.5 years before a clinical diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease.
People with behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) exhibit behaviors that are considered socially unacceptable. While there is no current cure for FTD, researchers are finding methods to help inhibit some of the negative behaviors associated with FTD. A new study reports impulsivity and negative behaviors are greatly reduced in those with bvFTD when the patient is focused on a task.
Researchers identified a specific type of cell that sits on top of the brain's smallest blood vessels that sense when their region of the brain is in need of energy.
Long-term, continuous marriage from mid-life to old age is associated with a lower risk of developing dementia.
Study provides experimental evidence of an alternative binding site on amyloid-beta aggregates. The discovery opens the door to the development of new therapies for Alzheimer's disease.
Science research articles cover psychology, depression, mental health, schizophrenia, mental disorders, happiness, stress, PTSD, autism, psychiatry and therapy.
Researchers discuss how postnatal depression and psychosis can lead some mothers to commit violent acts against or even murder their young children.
Laughter doesn't only help bring people together, it can be great therapy for those suffering from depression, researchers report.
State-level legalization of recreational cannabis does not increase substance use disorder or encourage the use of other illicit drugs, a new study of twins reveals. Additionally, legalized recreational cannabis can reduce alcohol consumption.
Even small bouts of physical activity and exercise throughout the day can help to boost your mental well-being.
Parental stress is higher in parents who suffer from sleep disorders or have children with disordered sleeping.

Top Neuroscience News the Last 30 Days
These are the most viewed articles from all of Neuroscience News over the last 30 days and includes all categories such as neuroscience, AI, psychology, neurology, robotics and neurotech.
By inhibiting NMDA receptors, ketamine increases noise to gamma frequencies in one layer of the thalamic nucleus and one lay of the somatosensory cortex. Findings suggest psychosis may be triggered by an increase in background noise impairing thalamocortical neurons which may be caused by a malfunction in NMDA receptors affecting the balance of inhibition and excitation in the brain.
Brain levels of FAAH, an enzyme that degrades a neurotransmitter that activates the cannabinoid 1 receptor, may contribute to the maintenance of excessive drinking and susceptibility to alcohol use disorder.
Anhedonia and depression arise when POMC neurons in the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus become hyperactive as a result of chronic stress. Reducing the activity also reduces feelings of depression and loss of pleasure.
Levodopa, a drug commonly prescribed for the treatment of Parkinson's disease that increases dopamine in the brain was found to reverse the effects of neuroinflammation on the reward system and improve symptoms associated with depression.
Where and when grandparents and parents of children were born could contribute to an increased risk of ASD in their offspring.
Rilmenidine, a drug commonly prescribed to help treat hypertension can help slow the effects of aging and extend lifespan, a new study reports.
Some patients diagnosed with behavioral-variant frontotemporal dementia (bv-FTD) may instead be suffering from a cerebrospinal fluid leak that leads to brain sagging.
A new study links substance use disorder to specific personality traits and certain psychological disorders. Researchers found those who scored high for the personality trait of neuroticism and those with depression and anxiety were at greater risk of SUD.
An ADHD diagnosis is more predictive of poor mental health outcomes than other neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism.
A new stem cell therapy approach eliminates established brain tumors and provides long-term immunity, training the immune system to prevent cancer from returning.
