Neuroscience Research Articles
Spending time performing household chores may help to improve brain health, especially for older adults. Researchers found older adults who spent more time engaging in housework had greater brain volume, specifically in the frontal lobe and hippocampus, brain areas associated with memory and cognition.

Increased sensitivity in the locus coeruleus-norepinephrine system in the brain drives the development of anxiety in depression. The findings shed new light on the neurobiological mechanisms behind stress resilience. Read More
A single neuron is able to select between different patterns, dependent upon the properties of individual stimuli. Read More
The effects of intoxication, such as slurred speech and poor coordination, are a result of the breakdown of alcohol products in the brain and not the liver. Read More
Researchers say the order in which your senses interact with food items impacts how much you enjoy your meal. Read More
Science research articles covering neurology, brain cancer, traumatic brain injuries, neurosurgery, neuroanatomy, brain research and neurological disorders.
Researchers have discovered a potential new way to reduce levels of hydrogen sulfide in rats' brains. Decreasing H2S levels decreases the damage the toxic gas can cause, and ultimately may pave the way for the development of new treatments for dementia and epilepsy. Read More
A shared set of brain regions play a vital role in the retrieval of weak memories. Read More
An increase in bad gum bacteria and a decrease in good bacteria is associated with amyloid-beta in cerebral spinal fluid samples of older adults. The findings add to the growing body of evidence linking periodontal disease to the development of Alzheimer's. Read More
People with sleep apnea who were exposed to positive airway pressure therapy had a reduced risk of being diagnosed with dementia. Read More
Researchers have identified specific anti-bodies that can have a neutralizing effect on the virus responsible for tick-borne encephalitis. Preliminary response in using the anti-bodies in mice has proven affected in preventing TBE. It is hoped a vaccine candidate for TBE can be developed for humans. Read More
Science research articles cover psychology, depression, mental health, schizophrenia, mental disorders, happiness, stress, PTSD, autism, psychiatry and therapy.
While cannabis users reported more psychotic experiences than non-users generally, the effect was more pronounced in those with a genetic risk factor for schizophrenia. Read More
Study reveals those in the throws of "established adulthood", that is to say, those between the ages of 30 - 45, report better life satisfaction. Read More
Previous research has shown chimpanzees and other "intelligent animals" have the ability to recognize their own reflection in a mirror. A new study reveals horses share the ability to recognize themselves. The findings shed new light on self-awareness in the animal kingdom. Read More
Often touted as helping to improve personal mental states, a new study reveals mindfulness can actually make people more selfish. Those who consider themselves to be more independent-minded, rather than having a pluralistic mindset, demonstrate a decrease in prosocial behavior following mindful meditation. Read More
A mouse study refutes the common belief that psilocybin's ability to produce an anti-depressant effect is attributed to the psychedelic experience it creates. Blocking the psychedelic effect did not affect psilocybin's anti-depressant effects. Read More

A new blood test can distinguish the severity of a person's depression and their risk for developing severe depression at a later point. The test can also determine if a person is at risk for developing bipolar disorder. Researchers say the blood test can also assist in tailoring individual options for therapeutic interventions.

All-trans retinoic acid, a vitamin A derivative, induces synaptic plasticity in human cortical neurons. Read More
Both wisdom and loneliness appear to be influenced by microbial diversity within the gut, a new study reports. Read More
Researchers investigate why people with psychopathic traits, and those who engage in acts of mass killing, tend to gravitate to certain careers. Read More
Adding selenium to diet products helps prevent obesity and increases healthy lifespan in mouse models. Read More
Study reveals aluminum is co-located with the tau protein in people with familial Alzheimer's disease. Read More
Researchers have identified 76 overlapping genetic locations that determine the shapes of our faces and our brains. The genetic signals that influence face and brain shape are enriched by regions of the genome that regulate gene activity during embryogenesis. Read More
A new study reveals activity in the amygdala remains consistent when a person views neutral stimuli following viewing negative stimuli. The persistent activity increased negative mood and decreased positive feelings. Read More
Writing by hand increases brain activity in recall tasks over taking notes on a tablet or smartphone. Additionally, those who write by hand on paper are 25% quicker at note-taking tasks than those who use digital technology. Read More
Researchers link the inflammation associated with chronic sinus infections to alterations in brain activity in networks that govern cognition, external stimuli, and introspection. The findings shed light on why people suffering from sinus infections often report poor concentration and other short-term cognitive problems. Read More
