Neuroscience Research Articles
Krill oil protects dopaminergic neurons from age-related degeneration, decreases alpha-synuclein aggregation, and improves dopamine-dependent cognition and behavior in lab models of Parkinson's disease.
The TOP2a gene controls a network of genes that contribute to ASD. Drugs that suppress TOP2a during development can turn on a cluster of other genes that disrupt brain development and increase autism risks. Alterations to the TOP2a gene may be responsible for the social behavioral difficulties associated with ASD.
Expectant mothers who took a two-hour perinatal course called "Help, Understanding, Guidance (HUG) Your Baby" had a significantly reduced risk of postpartum depression and an increase in parental confidence once their baby arrived.
A new neuroimaging study identifies migraine sufferers have enlarged perivascular spaces in a brain region called the centrum semiovale.
Persistent asthma in adults was associated with increased inflammation and an excess build-up of plaques in the carotid arteries, increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke.
Science research articles covering neurology, brain cancer, traumatic brain injuries, neurosurgery, neuroanatomy, brain research and neurological disorders.
Researchers have identified two new genes, ATP8B4 and ABCA1, that are implicated in Alzheimer's disease. The genes impact the brain's immune system and cholesterol processing, leading to an increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.
A novel compound eliminates disease-causing segments of RNA associated with ALS and dementia, and restores the health of neurons in mouse models.
Increasing consumption of food and drinks high in antioxidant flavonols helps slow memory and cognitive decline, a new study reports.
Researchers have developed a family of adeno-associated viral vectors (AAVs) that are able to cross the blood-brain barrier to deliver gene therapies directly to the brain.
Results of a phase three clinical trial of a novel brain cancer vaccine, DCVax-L, that uses a patient's stem cells to target cancer cells extend survival by many months to years for glioblastoma patients.
Science research articles cover psychology, depression, mental health, schizophrenia, mental disorders, happiness, stress, PTSD, autism, psychiatry and therapy.
Researchers have identified specific neurological biomarkers for ADHD in the brain. The study revealed those with ADHD had abnormal connectivity in brain areas associated with memory processing and auditory processing, and thinning of the brain's cortex.
Study reveals the benefits of family involvement in treatment outcomes for those who suffer from psychosis.
Low-to-moderate stress may be beneficial for your brain function, especially when it comes to working memory. However, when stress levels rise above moderate levels, they can become toxic.
People with PTSD had a 9% increased risk of hospitalization and an 8% increased risk of death following contracting COVID-19 than people without the disorder. Those with psychosis had a 58% increased risk of death associated with COVID-19, and those with bipolar disorder had a 29% increased risk of dying from coronavirus.
One-quarter of teens and young adults engaged in episodes of self-harm on more than one occasion. Repeated self-harm episodes are more likely to occur during the first year of the first episode, with the greatest risk within the first month.

The commercial dietary supplement nicotinamide riboside, touted to improve cardiovascular and neurological health, may actually increase the risk of developing breast cancer that metastasizes to the brain.
The Chlamydia pneumoniae bacteria can travel directly from olfactory nerve in the nose and into the brain, forcing brain cells to deposit amyloid beta and inducing Alzheimer's pathologies. Researchers say protecting the lining of the nose by not picking or plucking nasal hairs can help lower Alzheimer's risks.
1 in 5 people who receive CPR report lucid experiences of death while they are seemingly unconscious and on the brink of death. The lucid experiences appear to be different from hallucinations, dreams, illusions, and delusions. Researchers found during these experiences the brain has heightened activity and markers for lucidity, suggesting the human sense of self, like other biological functions, may not completely stop around the time of death.
1% of the population identifies as asexual, a sexual orientation defined as lacking sexual attraction to others. While asexual people lack sexual attraction, it does not mean they do not desire romantic attachments or relationships. Researchers reveal asexual people often feel more satisfied when they were invested in a committed relationship.
Researchers reveal how night owls can turn themselves into early rising early birds.
When it comes to musical tastes, people tend to favor songs with lyrics that correspond to their attachment style. This means most people tend to like songs that spell out what they are going through in a relationship, for better or worse.
People with subretinal drusenoid deposits (SDD), a form of age-related macular degeneration, are more likely to have underlying heart damage as a result of heart failure or heart attacks, or other forms of cardiovascular disease associated with increased stroke risk.
Childhood trauma significantly increases the risk of being diagnosed with a mental health disorder later in life. For children who experienced emotional abuse, the most prevalent disorder reported was anxiety. Trauma also increased the risks for psychosis, OCD, and bipolar disorder. Significantly, those who experience trauma during childhood were 15 times more likely to be diagnosed with borderline personality disorder later in life.
A new study links daily eating to mortality risk. Those over 40 who eat one meal a day have a higher mortality risk. Those who skip breakfast are at an increased risk of cardiovascular disease-associated death, and those who eat meals less than 4.5 hours apart have increased mortality risks.
Increasing consumption of food and drinks high in antioxidant flavonols helps slow memory and cognitive decline, a new study reports.
