Researchers find a gene variant which could cause some people to be more impaired by TBI than others.
A new study reports increased levels of STEP in the hippocampus is linked to mild cognitive impairment.
More research is needed on the link between maternal cannabis use and the health of newborns, researchers report.
Strength training may negatively impact endurance muscles. BDNF, which is increased during strength training and helps strength muscles to develop, decreases endurance muscle fibers.
Researchers use a novel co-culturing method to create functional circuits that model Huntington's disease and find new clues to potential treatment approaches.
Researchers have identified a set of heat sensing neurons that prompt both nervous system and behavioral changes that help cool the body.
According to researchers, early marijuana use may result in abnormal brain function and lower IQ.
BDNF released during aerobic exercise stimulates the hippocampus to sprout new neurons, a new study reports.
Researchers have identified six new genetic variants associated with habitual coffee drinking.
A new study reveals that most of the specific genes long thought to be linked to intelligence probably have no bearing on one’s IQ. And it may be some time before researchers can identify intelligence’s specific genetic roots.
Studying juvenile zebra finches, researchers discover a mechanism which could possibly be responsible for the differences in the intensity of song learning.
Researchers report both negative and positive experiences influence how genetic factors influence the brain and behavior.
