Neuroscience Research Articles
Neurons derived from stem cells of combat veterans with PTSD react differently to stress hormones than those derived from veterans without PTSD. The findings shed new light on how genetics can cause some to develop PTSD following a traumatic event.
Researchers have developed a new system that comprises of a brain implant containing LEDs and gene therapy to modulate brain waves. The technology showed success in suppressing abnormal brain waves akin to those seen during an epileptic seizure.
Exploring a new environment helps boost dopamine levels which are projected to the hippocampus, decreasing the threshold for learning. However, in older people, the novelty of a new environment doesn't boost memory as much as it does in younger people.
People with Dark Triad personality traits are more likely to believe fake news, especially when doing so promotes their own selfish desires. Even when presented with scientific facts, those with dark triad personalities bend reality to their own liking. The more pronounced traits associated with self-interest were, the more those with dark triad personalities doubted there was a difference between actual facts and mere opinions.
Study identifies the synaptotagmin-3 (SYT3) protein as a key molecule that allows for synaptic transmission. The findings could help with the development of treatment for a range of neurological disorders including ASD and epilepsy.
Science research articles covering neurology, brain cancer, traumatic brain injuries, neurosurgery, neuroanatomy, brain research and neurological disorders.
When switched on at a pre-reproductive age, stress response in cells could slow down aging and promote longevity.
COVID-19 infection causes microglia to excessively engulf synaptic structures and the upregulation of factors involved in phagocytosis.
Findings highlight the need to continue developing new disease-modifying treatments with different mechanisms of action for patients with Alzheimer's disease.
Post-mortem analysis of the brains of those with Parkinson's disease revealed more than 200 genes with different epigenetic markers compared to healthy brains, but the affected genes were almost entirely different between women and men.
The GM2A protein reduces neural firing and induces a loss of neurite integrity.
Science research articles cover psychology, depression, mental health, schizophrenia, mental disorders, happiness, stress, PTSD, autism, psychiatry and therapy.
Stress impacts the brain's response to food, researchers report. Additionally, both lean and obese people react to food cues in brain areas associated with reward and cognitive control.
Study finds mice show sensitivity to two different types of regret, and the different thought processes stem from different parts of the brain. Researchers also identified a genetic marker that predisposes maladaptive stress response traits and vulnerability to depression was linked to sensitivity to one type of regret.
D-Cycloserine, an antibiotic used for the treatment of tuberculosis, increases the effectiveness of transcranial magnetic stimulation for those with major depressive disorder.
A new identifies a specific gene that regulates neural progenitor cell proliferation in response to lithium for those with bipolar depression.
Symptomatic depression increases the risk of developing dementia by 51%, but those being treated for depression had a significantly lower risk of being diagnosed with depression later in life.

A child's weight at birth could determine their risk of being diagnosed with a mental health disorder later in life. Researchers found for every kilogram below average birth weight, the more likely a child was to experience mental health problems through childhood and adolescence.
Administering a chemical compound called synthetic retinoids to the retina helped restore brain networks associated with vision and prompted the growth of two times more neurons, effectively restoring vision in adult mouse models of the genetic visual disorder LCA.
The pioneering "soleus pushup" effectively elevates muscle metabolism for hours, even when sitting.
Researchers have developed a simple behavioral test to measure an individual's risk of developing Alzheimer's disease before symptoms appear.
Patients with major depressive disorder who experienced trauma during childhood see symptom improvement following psychopharmacological intervention, psychotherapy, or a combination of both.
Rather than being simply a brain disease, researchers propose Alzheimer's disease could be a disorder of the immune system within the brain.
A new theory of consciousness suggests decisions are made unconsciously, then about half a second later, they become conscious.
Daydreaming activates the hippocampus, inducing electrical impulses that help us to encode memories.
In mice genetically more susceptible to PTSD following a stressful event, researchers found an increased expression of cortisol receptors on neurons in the CA1 region of the dorsal hippocampus. Those increased receptors enabled an elevated expression of the HCN1 protein and TRIP8b, reducing neural excitability.
Two short cycles of a low-calorie diet that mimics fasting reduced inflammation and delayed cognitive decline in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease. Researchers report the diet is safe for humans and could help reduce signs of Alzheimer's.
