Neuromelanin-Sensitive MRI Identified As a Potential Biomarker for Psychosis
A new study reports neuromelanin sensitive MRI is able to measure dopamine function associated with psychosis.... Read More...
Mapping Brain Circuits in Newborns May Aid Early Detection of Autism
Researchers used non invasive MRI brain scans to map the brains of newborns. The study reveals the brain architecture that emerges as the brain reshapes during the third trimester of pregnancy. The map can be used to detect atypical connections in the brain that serve as biomarkers for ASD.... Read More...
Identifying Brain Patterns of Consciousness
Researchers shed light on the neural networks that appear to govern human consciousness.... Read More...
Brain Connections That Disadvantage Night Owls Revealed
A new MRI study reveals those who get to sleep and wake up late have lower resting brain connectivity in regions associated with the maintenance of consciousness. Researchers report the reduced brain connectivity is linked to poorer attention, slower reactions and increased daytime sleepiness.... Read More...
Brain Clock Ticks Differently in Autism
A new study reports the hierarchy of intrinsic neural timescales appears to be disrupted in adults on the autism spectrum. Researchers say the differences in neural timescales could underlie features of ASD, like hypersensitivity.... Read More...
The Unexpected Creates Reward When Listening to Music
A new study reports unexpected changes in music activates the nucleus accumbens, providing reward and helping us to learn about the music as we listen. ... Read More...
How the Brain Prepares For Action
Researchers have identified the neural processes that occur milliseconds before we execute a series of skilled movements.... Read More...
Brain Patterns Indicative of Consciousness, in Unconscious Individuals
Researchers say human consciousness is supported by dynamic, complex patterns of brain signal coordination.... Read More...
Absentmindedness Points to Earlier Warning Signs of Silent Strokes
Researchers report poor attentiveness and becoming more distracted during simple tasks could signify early symptoms of cerebral small vessel disease.... Read More...
Brain Hand Map is Maintained in Amputees with and Without Phantom Limb Sensations
A new MRI study reveals the brain retains neural 'fingerprints' of a missing hand, decades after amputation and regardless of whether the person experiences phantom limb sensations. ... Read More...
New Scan Technique Reveals Neuroinflammation Associated with Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome
A new neuroimaging study reveals 12 people with documented post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome have an elevation of a chemical marker associated with neuroinflammation. The findings could help develop new treatments for the pain, fatigue and brain fog associated with PTLDS.... Read More...
