A new study reports new nerve cell connections on sensory cells could contribute to age related hearing loss. Read More
Researchers have mapped out a circuit of neurons responsible for motor impairment in Parkinson's disease patients. Read More
A new study provides further evidence that increasing choline consumption during pregnancy has cognitive benefits for children. Read More
A new study considers how early nutrition can affect a baby's brain development. Read More
Male alcohol consumption before conception was linked to significant deficits in their offspring's brain development, specifically within the neocortex. For mothers-to-be who drink alcohol, the negative outcomes of prenatal alcohol exposure on fetal brain development can be reduced with choline supplementation. Read More
A new study reveals a psychostimulant prescribed for ADHD increases glutamate in the brains of healthy people, resulting in more positive emotions. Read More
A clinical trial of an Alzheimer’s disease treatment developed found that the nutrient cocktail can improve memory in patients with early Alzheimer’s. The mixture appears to increase the number of dendritic spines and therefore some synapses. Read More
A study shows for the first time that certain nutrients may play an underlying role in short and long sleep duration and that people who report eating a large variety of foods; an indicator of an overall healthy diet, had the healthiest sleep patterns. Read More
A new neuroimaging study links neurobiological changes to the cognitive impairments associated with some common, over the counter medications. Read More
A new study reveals Parkinson's patients have more copies of mitochondrial DNA in the brain stem, leading to increased cell death within that area. Read More
A new study reports nicotine reduces the sleep inducing effects of alcohol. Read More
Researchers have identified a unique memory suppressor gene that may be useful for developing new treatments for Alzheimer's disease. Read More
