Fetal exposure to antidepressants or antiepileptic medications may affect the development of newborn brain networks.
Paid maternal leave was associated with increased activity of higher-frequency brain waves in children at three months of age.
The fewer slow brain waves that occur in the right prefrontal cortex during sleep, the more likely a person is to indulge in risk-taking behaviors.
Reduced activation of gamma waves in the brain was associated with the emergence of psychosis symptoms prior to the full-blown disorder appearing.
A new study reveals brain oscillations associated with memory retrieval alter in the moments before death, suggesting the brain may replay significant life events just before we die.
A newly designed compact device for recording brain activity has a customizable configuration and could help people with restricted mobility regain control of their limbs or provide advanced warnings of epileptic seizures.
Deep, uninterrupted sleep can help boost learning names and faces, a new study reports.
A virtual rollercoaster ride in combination with EEG helped researchers determine how emotions are processed in the brain.
The noise of traffic and wind farms has an impact on sleep, researchers report. The study revealed the effects of the noise were brief, and most study participants' brain waves returned to baseline sleep activity within thirty seconds of the noises being introduced.
Combining deep-brain stimulation with intracranial EEG, researchers achieved an individualized understanding of specific brain networks that contributed to an individual's depression symptoms and identified stimulation patterns best suited to each patient for symptom relief.
Older adults who sleep less than 4.5 hours, or more than 6.5 hours per night and who experience sleep disruptions are at greater risk of cognitive decline, researchers report.
Theta activity in the brain is different following mistakes or challenging tasks in those with common mental health disorders including anxiety, ADHD, and OCD compared to those with no history of the disorders.
