Mouse study reveals brain activity patterns associated with memory recall become active when learning by observation.
In fruit fly models, an ABCA1 agonist can restore specific alterations of neuroprotective mechanisms associated with a genetic predisposition to Alzheimer's disease.
A new computational method sheds light on the intricacies of brain structure and function.
Researchers discuss how to accommodate family members with dementia over the holidays to make Christmas a meaningful and joyous event for the entire family.
Combining deep-brain stimulation with intracranial EEG, researchers achieved an individualized understanding of specific brain networks that contributed to an individual's depression symptoms and identified stimulation patterns best suited to each patient for symptom relief.
Restoring normal sleep patterns by activating the thalamic reticular nucleus with chemogenetics reduced the accumulation of amyloid-beta plaques in the brains.
Altered behaviors associated with LSD may be caused by a reduction in the normal communication between the hippocampus and visual cortex.

··5 min readBlood tests revealed specific epigenetic biomarkers for schizophrenia. Researchers applied machine learning to analyze the CoRSIVs region of the human genome to identify the schizophrenia biomarkers. Testing the model with an independent data set revealed the AI technology can detect schizophrenia with 80% accuracy.
The brain regulates both eating for hunger and pleasure through serotonin-producing neurons in the midbrain, but the different types of feeding are wired by independent circuits that do not influence the other type of feeding.
Researchers say people continue to process music, even when no songs are playing. This can lead to earworms, or tunes that get stuck in your head, which can crop up during sleep. People who experience earworms regularly at night are six times more likely to report poorer quality sleep.
Researchers have identified a subpopulation of dopaminergic neurons in the caudal ventral tegmental area that appears to suppress food intake by triggering satiation in mice.
A new computational model can identify genes linked to autism and predict the level of intellectual disability in people with ASD by only using rare mutations in genes already associated with the condition.
