Researchers have identified a hidden region in the human brain near the spinal cord junction. The discovery of the Endorestiform Nucleus may help advance treatments for Parkinson's disease, researchers report. Read More
Researchers report there are two distinct ways in which we make temporal predictions, and these rely on different parts of the brain. The findings offer a new perspective on how humans calculate when to make a move. Read More
Researchers have identified a new role for the cerebellum. Rather than just helping to control muscle activity, the cerebellum may also play a critical role in cognitive functions. Read More
Researchers have identified two genetic variants for meaning in life and six genetic variants for happiness. Read More
A new study reports those with ADHD are at an increased risk of developing Parkinson's disease. The study reveals people with ADHD are twice as likely to develop early onset Parkinson's between the ages of 21-66. Additionally, those who are prescribed stimulant medications to help reduce ADHD symptoms, including Ritalin and Adderal, are at a 6-8 times increased risk of developing Parkinson's. Read More
Researchers discover higher infection rates in Purkinje cells with the herpesvirus HHV-6 in patients with bipolar disorder. Read More
Computational neurosciences have created a virtual version of Purkinje cells in the brain's cerebellum. The virtual cells may shed light on how Purkinje cells work. Read More
Researchers report boys on the autism spectrum tend to have lower fractal dimension in the right side of the cerebellum than those without autism. Read More
A new study of parrots reveals evidence of convergent evolution between bird and primate brains. The findings have the potential to shed light on the neural basis for human intelligence. Read More
