Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) affects over 10 million people in the US. Find out the symptoms and treatment options available.
Study reveals as we sleep, cerebrospinal fluid pulses in the brain in rhythmic patterns.
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.
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.
Using non-invasive brain stimulation, researchers stimulated the lateral prefrontal cortex and medial prefrontal cortex, enhancing executive function and self control.
People with voice disorders may have a problem with correctly utilizing auditory feedback to control their voices.
Researchers reveal that, despite popular perception, youth violence is on a noteworthy decline.
Excess consumption of both regular and diet soda are associated with accelerated brain aging, smaller hippocampal volume and poor memory.
