Healthy older adults exposed to hyperbaric oxygen therapies showed signs of reversal of the normal aging process at a cellular level.
Neurons in the medial prefrontal cortex respond more to loss than to gain. Avoidance of risk-taking is affected by an area of the hippocampus that is associated with memory and anxiety. The findings suggest a close relationship between memory processing and decision making when risk is present, especially in stressful situations. The fresh insights might help guide new psychiatric therapies for disorders marked by excessive avoidance, such as anxiety, and depression, and also mania and addiction, where excessive risk-taking is a common feature.
Children suffering from a form of autism called ADNP syndrome may benefit from an experimental drug designed to treat Alzheimer's disease.
Delivering a memory-inducing scent to one nostril while a person sleeps helps boost memory retention.
Hypertension in young-to-mid life is associated with worse gait and cognitive problems during middle age.
The relationship between typically developing children and siblings with intellectual disabilities is more positive than the relationship between typically developing siblings.
Genomic autism-related ADNP mutations were found in postmortem olfactory bulbs and hippocampi of Alzheimer's patients.
Neural small RNAs regulate germline genes to control behavior transgenerationally in nematodes.
Myelin thickness and oligodendrocytes were significantly reduced in the prefrontal cortex in mouse models of Williams syndrome.
Researchers report environmental conditions may trigger structural changes to myelin sheaths, forcing the onset of multiple sclerosis.
Researchers say a novel enzyme treatment may reduce inflammation and scarring that prevents neural regeneration in spinal cord injury.
Researchers report high density of neurons in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex play a significant role in resilient dyslexia.
