Changes in microglia underlie depressive symptoms brought on by exposure to chronic stress, a new study reports.
Researchers have shown that infrared and Raman spectroscopy – coupled with statistical analysis – can be used to tell the difference between normal brain tissue and the different tumor types that may arise in this tissue, based on its individual biochemical-cell ‘fingerprint’.
Using neurons created from iPS cells derived from people with ALS, researchers develop a new drug which appears to halt the impact of the genetic mutations in some forms of ALS and dementia.
People with psychopathic tendencies have an impaired sense of smell, which points to inefficient processing in the front part of the brain (orbitofrontal cortex) according to a new study.
Patients who experience chemobrain after treatment for cancer show brain network disruptions, researchers report.
Researchers develop a new blueprint for touch-sensitive prosthetic limbs. The findings could someday convey real-time sensory information for amputees.
Researchers identify a region of the hippocampus which is sensitive to small changes in familiar context.
Researchers present a new theory which explains how critical periods are triggered during neurodevelopment.
Scientists developed a method for decoding neural circuit diagrams. Using measurements of total neuronal activity, they can determine the probability that two neurons are connected with each other.
Using optical neuroimaging, researchers gain a better understanding of visual working memory in young children.
Atypical activation and negative functional connectivity between the insula and ventromedial prefrontal cortex could explain why psychopaths lack empathy.
Researchers have developed a new experimental approach to treating medulloblastoma brain cancer.
