Surrounding tissue is likely to play a significant supportive role in the development of the neural tube by exerting pressure from the outside.
Non-essential amino acids influence the brain in a way that curbs appetite and promotes exercise.
SleepLoop, a newly designed mobile system, can help promote deep sleep through auditory brain stimulation. The device tracks when a person enters slow-wave brain activity, triggering an auditory signal that helps synchronize neurons and enhance the slow waves.
Ingested non-essential amino acids curb appetite and promote movement in mouse models.
A newly developed control technology that combines proprioception with visual perception allows robots to tackle rough terrains faster and more efficiently.
A new computational model found decisions people are most likely to feel right about are a result of the attentional effort to consciously weigh up different options.
Diffuse optical localization imaging (DOLI) is a newly developed fluorescence microscopy technique that allows for high-resolution imaging of microcirculation in a non-invasive manner.
A newly developed play therapy platform is helping older adults with dementia improve a range of flagging cognitive skills from concentration to memory.
Sensory signals transmitted from a prosthetic leg to the nervous system helps amputees perceive their prosthetic limb as part of their body. The new neurofeedback helps them perceive the new limb as significantly lighter.
Study reveals the body produces more cortisol when people are interrupted during work.
A new study sheds light on how the brain changes as a result of chronic stress. Selective noradrenaline release rewires connectivity patterns between different brain regions. Activity in the amygdala and networks that process sensory stimuli increased.
Researchers have synthesized THC molecules that can be altered by light.
