Researchers have created an implantable bioelectronic device with a high-speed, low-power wireless data link that uses ions within the body.
Floods of calcium that originate from hippocampal neurons can also boost learning, a new study reports.
Researchers report some over-the-counter cough suppressants can help correct heart rhythm problems in patients with QT syndrome.
The brains of patients who died as a result of COVID-19 infection displayed some of the same molecular changes found in the brains of those with Alzheimer's disease, a new small study found. The findings may explain why some long-term COVID sufferers report memory problems.
A newly developed blood test can measure the pace of biological aging by identifying specific DNA methylation marks.
Researchers identified molecular signatures of gestational inflammation that appear to be biomarkers for autism risk. The immune signatures were identified in both maternal blood samples during pregnancy and in umbilical cord blood from children later diagnosed with ASD.
At six months of age, babies born during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic scored lower on developmental screening tests for social and motor skills than children born before the pandemic.
Reduced amounts of the placental hormone allopregnanolone caused behavioral and developmental changes in the brains of male mouse offspring similar to those seen in autism.
People with no prior mental health diagnosis who contract Lyme disease have a 42% higher risk of developing an affective disorder, such as depression, and a 75% higher rate of death by suicide than those without the disease.
Early-life exposure to high levels of air pollution was associated with poor inhibitory control during later childhood and poorer academic performance during adolescence.
The desire of older adults to live to an advanced aged was significantly reduced by hypothetical adverse life events, such as the prospects of developing dementia or chronic pain conditions.
A new study links a distinct pattern of genetic mutations with OCD in humans.
