A new study evaluates the growth in neuroscience research between 2006 and 2015. Read More
Researchers have created computer models of the neural connections in both health brains and brains of people suffering from Parkinson's disease. Read More
A new study reports the parieto-occipital areas of the brain appear to be more susceptible to a lack of sleep in children. Read More
A new study reports binge drinking affects gene expression in both males and females differently. In females who binge drink, genes linked to hormone signaling and immune function become altered, whereas in males, alterations occur to genes associated with nerve signaling. Read More
A new study has identified a number of cancer associated genes as being linked to ASD. Researchers suggest certain cancer treatments that target these genes may also be helpful in treating autism disorders. Read More
A healthy lifestyle may help to increase executive function, a new study reports. Read More
Researchers report the vibrations produced by horse riding can activate the sympathetic nervous system and improve learning for children. Read More
A new study published in Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience provides new evidence that bacterial infection and inflammation could contribute to Alzheimer's disease. Researchers found a tenfold higher overall ratio of Actinobacteria to Proteobacteria in the brains of Alzheimer's patients compared to those without the disease. Read More
The herpes simplex virus 1, the virus responsible for cold sores, may account for 50% of Alzheimer's disease cases. HSV1 causes protein deposits which are characteristic of Alzheimer's disease. Findings also reveal antiviral treatments can help to reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's in those with HSV1. Read More
Understanding how parasites 'hack' the brains of their hosts may provide new insights into decision making and behavior. Read More
According to a Frontiers in Psychology study, binge drinking in teens is associated with a reduction in brain areas that play key roles in memory, learning, language and attention. Read More
