A new study reveals an increase in students reporting symptoms of depression, anxiety, and loneliness. 83% of students surveyed reported their mental health had impacted their academic performance within the past month.
Living near green spaces improves processing speed, cognitive function, and attention in addition to improving mental health, researchers report.
A new theory of consciousness suggests decisions are made unconsciously, then about half a second later, they become conscious.
Researchers reveal how memories and fear responses can be transmitted through social interactions.
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.
Low HDL and high triglyceride levels in the blood at 35 were associated with an increased risk of developing Alzheimer's disease later in life. Additionally, higher glucose levels between 51 and 60 were linked to a higher risk of Alzheimer's.
People with osteoarthritis in the knee who report more pain sensations are more likely to suffer constant and unpredictable pain. Researchers identified a potential mechanism in the nervous system that could explain why people experience varying pain patterns associated with knee osteoarthritis.
A new machine-learning algorithm is able to accurately detect cognitive impairment by analyzing voice recordings.
A novel wearable magnetic metamaterial could help make MRI imaging faster, cheaper, and crisper.
Days of extreme heat are associated with increased rates of emergency room visits for mental health-related disorders, specifically stress, anxiety, mood disorders, and substance use disorders.
The genetic background around APOE region can modify the Alzheimer's disease-associated APOE4 risk effects.
Non-invasive electrostimulation restores working memory in 70-year-olds, allowing for comparable to cognitive abilities to those of 20-year-olds. The technology increases neural synchronization patterns and information flow between frontotemporal regions of the brain. This results in rapid improvements of working memory in older people, which lasted for more than 50 minutes post stimulation. The findings offer new hope to those suffering age-related memory impairments.
