Type 1 interferon is a major diver of cognitive impairment and memory loss in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease. Blocking IFN reversed both cognitive impairments and memory deficits in the animal models.
Oleic acid produced in the brain is an essential regulator of processes that enable memory, learning, and mood regulation. Oleic acid, which is abundant in olive oil, also promoted neurogenesis and increases cell proliferation.
Electrical stimulation improves verbal memory for those with responsive neurostimulation implants when activated during certain memory tasks.
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.
Blood 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.
