Study reveals as we sleep, cerebrospinal fluid pulses in the brain in rhythmic patterns.
A new machine-learning algorithm is able to accurately detect cognitive impairment by analyzing voice recordings.
Researchers have identified a novel gene called MGMT that appears to increase Alzheimer's disease risk in women.
People who suffer repetitive head injuries experience increased symptoms of depression and a greater risk of cognitive decline as they age. Those with a history of repetitive head injuries and TBI that resulted in a loss of consciousness reported higher levels of mental health problems, including depressive symptoms.
Researchers reveal that, despite popular perception, youth violence is on a noteworthy decline.
Manipulating memory via optogenetics mitigated addiction-related behaviors.
Using optogenetics to stimulate different areas of the hippocampus has the ability to enhance or suppress memories in mice. The findings could have implications for suppressing memories associated with traumatic events in PTSD, and also in enhancing cognitive ability or improving memory for those with neurodegenerative diseases, in the future.
Using non-invasive brain stimulation, researchers stimulated the lateral prefrontal cortex and medial prefrontal cortex, enhancing executive function and self control.
Living near green spaces improves processing speed, cognitive function, and attention in addition to improving mental health, researchers report.
People born into families with members who live longer lives show better cognitive performance and a slower decline in cognitive processing speed as they age.
Performing written cognitive tests with a digital pen allowed researchers to identify differences between "thinking" and "writing" times that may be early biomarkers for cognitive and motor decline.
A novel wearable magnetic metamaterial could help make MRI imaging faster, cheaper, and crisper.
