Postmortem brains of those with schizophrenia have fewer genes associated with 12-hour activity cycles in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. Mitochondrial-related genes in the dlPFC did maintain a 12-hour rhythm, but their activity did not peak at normal times.
Neuroimaging reveals lower activation in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and angular gyrus in teenage girls with conduct disorder. Findings suggest that a reduction in prefrontal brain regions and functional connectivity during effortful emotional regulations contribute to behaviors associated with antisocial behavior in teenage girls.
Findings could point to a possible way to making people behave in less selfish, more empathetic ways.
Genomic autism-related ADNP mutations were found in postmortem olfactory bulbs and hippocampi of Alzheimer's patients.
Researchers report veterans with PTSD were better able to manage invasive traumatic memories with the help of mindfulness training.
A neuroimaging study reveals people with OCD who receive daily cognitive behavioral therapy to help curb their compulsive behaviors show stronger connections between specific brain regions.
Working memory system disruptions can cause smokers who quit to relapse within days, a neuroimaging study finds.
It may be possible to buffer against developing depression and anxiety by boosting brain activity in areas associated with problem solving, a new study reports.
Using neuroimaging technology, researchers note increased activity in areas of the brain associated with empathy in subjects who underwent compassion training.
A new neuroimaging study reveals the brains of teenage girls who self harm show similar features to adults with borderline personality disorder.
Researchers report veterans with PTSD were better able to manage invasive traumatic memories with the help of mindfulness training.
Opioid use disorder affects genes associated with proinflammatory immune molecule encoding and genes associated with remodeling the extracellular matrix, suggesting the connection between neurons may be altered as a result of opioid use. Additionally, those with OUD have higher levels of microglia in the brain.
