Is it possible to have a psychedelic experience from taking a placebo alone? A new study says it is. Read More
Researchers have that discovered a protein in the membrane of sensory neurons is involved in our capacity to experience mechanical pain. Read More
Combining fMRI and behavioral data, researchers examined gender identity in cisgender and transgender individuals using a new machine learning algorithm. The AI identified at least nine dimensions of brain-gender variation. Read More
More commonly associated with treating bipolar disorder, microdoses of lithium may halt the progression of Alzheimer's disease. Read More
Using a range of clinical techniques, including deep learning, researcher identify changes in the microbiome of people with fibromyalgia which were not associated with diet, medications or aging. Additionally, the severity of symptoms was directly correlated with an increased presence, or more pronounced absence, of certain bacterias. Read More
Cortical anatomy is not represented by fixed differences between those with ASD and peers not on the autism spectrum. However, differences in symptom profiles and severity, age and cognitive ability are related to brain differences specific to ASD alone. Read More
Using Cappella recordings, researchers discover humans have developed complementary neural systems in each hemisphere for auditory stimuli. Read More
Boys who exhibit inattention-hyperactivity by age 10 have an increased risk for traumatic brain injury later in life. Read More
Combining artificial intelligence technology and blood samples, researchers were able to predict and explain the progression of Alzheimer's and Huntington's disease. The new algorithm was able to detect alterations in gene expression over decades from patients' blood samples. Read More
Canada's Nunavik Inuit population are genetically distinct from any other known population. Certain genetic variants identified in this population are associated with a higher risk of brain aneurysms. Nunavik Inuit have distinct genetic signatures in pathways linked to lipid metabolism, allowing them to adjust to higher-fat diets and the extreme temperature of the Canadian Arctic. Read More
Somatic awareness, a condition previously believed to be of psychological origin, is connected to a common genetic variant. The mutation leads to the malfunctioning of an enzyme critical for serotonin production. Read More
The use of naproxen, an NSAID anti-inflammatory, increases the frequency of adverse health effects and does not reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. Read More
