Study implicated hippocampal neurons in our ability to make educated guesses. Read More
HIRREM, a closed-loop acoustic stimulation neurotechnology, reduced insomnia symptoms, and improved autonomic nervous system function. Read More
Cortical representations for the sounds and meanings of new words learned form within an hour or two following exposure. Read More
In mice lacking the GLT-1 transporter, cortical spreading depression, a neural excitation that underlies migraine pathology, occurred more frequently and spread more quickly. The findings provide potential new avenues for the treatment of migraines. Read More
Structural and functional coupling in visual areas of the mouse brain can be detected at sub-cellular resolution in vitro. Read More
Women who experience reproductive periods for more than 38 years are at increased risk of developing dementia later in life. The study found dementia and Alzheimer's risk increased successively for every additional year a woman remains fertile. Read More
Researchers have uncovered the structure of psychedelic compounds when they actively bind to the 5-HT2A serotonin receptor on the surface of brain cells. The discovery could lead to the exploration of more precise compounds that offer the therapeutic effects of psychedelics for mental health disorders, but without the hallucinations. Read More
A defective protein quality control system leads to motor neuron death associated with disorders like ALS. Read More
A genetic variation that alters the metabolism of glutathione may be responsible for cognitive decline in people who do not have other associated biomarkers, a new study reports. Read More
Study reveals how eating disorders in some women are inextricably linked to their culture and upbringing. Read More
Axon regeneration and dramatic improvements in functional recovery occurred when lactate was applied to damaged neural tissue. Treatment with lactate also significantly improved locomotion and restored some walking capability in mouse models of SCI. Read More
Study identifies neurons in command of guiding adaptive behaviors. Read More
