Neuroimaging pinpoints areas of the brain that regulate efforts to deal with fatigue. The study reveals the neural mechanisms that contribute to feelings of fatigue. Read More
Psilocybin reduces activity in the claustrum, an area of the brain believed to contribute to consciousness and sense of self. Researchers say the reduced activity may tie in with the reduced sense of self and ego often associated with psychedelic drug use. The study also reports psilocybin alters the way the claustrum communicates with brain areas involved in attention, decision making, auditory processing, and memory. Read More
Motor learning induces widespread cortical synaptic potentiation by increasing the trafficking of AMPAR into dendritic spines. Read More
Daily time-restricted feeding and limiting yourself to one moderate-sized meal two days a week may have significant benefits for both cognitive and overall health. A new study links intermittent fasting to a longer, healthier life. Read More
Exposure to household pet dogs in the early years of life was associated with a significantly decreased risk of being diagnosed with schizophrenia later in life. Read More
Pure CBD products will not cause a positive drug test, but low-THC/high-CBD products may trigger a positive drug test for some users. Read More
The Golden Ratio was noted in the human skull dimensions, but not in other mammals. The findings may have important anthropological and evolutionary implications. Read More
Researchers have developed a new method to transplant neural stem cells into mice without the need for lifelong anti-rejection medications. Read More
Maternal exposure to a high-fat diet during pregnancy and lactation can have a lasting, detrimental effect on the cognitive ability and behaviors of their offspring. Read More
The medial prefrontal cortex persistently encodes value based decision variables. Read More
A small scale pilot study reveals adults with mild cognitive impairment may have improved brain function and memory when they switch to a high-fat, low-carb diet. Read More
A new study adds to the growing body of evidence that Parkinson's disease may start in the gut. Researchers found gut-to-brain propagation of alpha-synuclein spread via the vagus nerve. The study provides a more accurate model of Parkinson's progression and could lead to new treatments to halt or prevent this neurodegenerative disease. Read More
