When older people feel personally stigmatized as being physically or cognitively deficient, they fail to live up to their actual abilities when tested, a new study reports. Read More
Mice exposed to COVID-19 through the nasal passage, researchers noted a rapid and escalated attack on the brain by the virus that triggered a more severe outcome of the infection, even after the lungs were cleared of the disease. Researchers also found virus levels were over 1,000 times higher in the brain than other parts of the body. Read More
Our brains work harder to process information when we read about movement in a way that is not typical of our native languages. Read More
Researchers have developed a new framework that sheds new light on changes in the brain's activity and connections. Read More
Brain networks are spatially and functionally fluid, and not static, as previously believed. Read More
Gender identity, rather than sex, may cause the epigenome of the brain to differ in males and females. Read More
A new mouse study reveals common food additives, such as the dietary emulsifiers CMC and P80, may increase the risk of anxiety related disorders and adversely affect social behaviors. Read More
Researchers report personality traits in chimpanzees are correlated to the size of their hippocampus. The study reports greater hippocampal volume is linked to an increase in alpha behavior and decreased self regulatory function. Read More
According to researchers, a chimpanzees' general intelligence is correlated with their ability to delay gratification and exert self control. Read More
Researchers have rewired the neural circuits of one species and given its connections to a new species. The study answers a number of questions about evolution of neural circuits and behavior. Read More
The microglia in women's brains are more active in regions involved in pain processing, a new study reports. Read More
A new study using fruit fly models could help researchers better understand the genetic and neural bases of detecting cold or painful stimuli. Read More
