A person's ability to self-reflect is associated with cognition and glucose metabolism later in life, a new study finds. Those who engage in more self-reflection had improved cognition, better overall brain health, and increased glucose metabolism later in life.
Adolescent binge drinking has vast functional implications on the developing brain, researchers report. Binge drinking decreases function in areas responsible for sensory, motor, memory, and cognitive processes.
Axon regeneration and dramatic improvements in functional recovery occurred when lactate was applied to damaged neural tissue. Treatment with lactate also significantly improved locomotion and restored some walking capability in mouse models of SCI.
UCLA researchers report erlotinib, an FDA approved drug, reduces glucose uptake in glioblastoma, effectively cutting off nutrients and energy supply to the tumor.
The neurological benefits experienced by those with epilepsy who follow ketogenic diets may be a result of the low carb diet lowering brain inflammation, researchers report.
Researchers have developed a new algorithm that integrates Alzheimer's indicators from MRI measurements to predict patients with the neurodegenerative disease.
Stimulating microglial cells could delay the onset of some neurodegenerative diseases, researchers report.
In early Alzheimer's, glycation damages an enzyme that plays a crucial role in immune response and insulin regulation, researchers report.
Verbal tests for MCI might not pick up symptoms in women until they are further along into the progression of Alzheimer's disease, researchers report.
Researchers report a drug used to treat diabetes may be successful at treating Alzheimer's disease also.
Researchers reveal how brain structure and chemistry give rise to specific aspects of fluid intelligence.
According to researchers, neurons in the hypothalamus play a vital role in maintaining blood glucose levels.
