Researchers have created a collection of month-to-month infant brain maps that capture the fine detail of changes in the early developing brain.
Researchers have developed a new brain imaging method that uses pulsed laser light to monitor cerebral blood flow more accurately than more traditional methods.
Lower levels of serine and glycine were associated with a higher risk of neuropathic pain in mouse models of diabetes. Supplementing the diets of the mice with serine reduced symptoms of neuropathy. Researchers say the findings provide a new way in which to identify people at risk of diabetic neuropathy and a potential treatment option.
A new software framework incorporates dendritic properties and mechanisms into large-scale neural network models.
Exposure to drugs that target tauopathies extended survival, reduced neurodegenerative biomarkers, and functionally reduced aberrant behaviors in female mice, but not in males.
Researchers have developed a new technique that transforms medical images from MRI scans into detailed 3D computerized models. This new advance is an important step toward creating realistic 3D models of human organs for research and medical training.
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.
Adopting a healthy lifestyle, in particular, a healthy diet was associated with a slower than average decline in memory over ten years in older adults, even those with the APOE4 Alzheimer's associated genetic variant.
Study reports in the short term, astrocytes regulate caloric intake by controlling the signaling pathway between the gut and brain. Eating high-fat or high-calorie diets disrupts this pathway.
Maternal exposure to air pollution during mid-to-late pregnancy was associated with lower scores on tests of cognition, language, and motor skills in children at the age of two.
The Mini2P microscope can be used to record brain activity in live, freely moving mice.
