What is neuroscience? Neuroscience is the scientific study of the nervous system. Neuroscience research often involves research from fields such as brain science, chemistry, computer science, engineering, linguistics, mathematics, artificial intelligence, robotics, neurology, medicine, philosophy, physics, and psychology.
Researchers were able to predict, with 85 percent accuracy at the beginning of the study, which participants would go on to develop chronic pain based on the level of interaction between the frontal cortex and the nucleus accumbens.
Researchers call for a rigorous scientific exploration of MDMA's effects to identify precisely how the drug works, the data from which could be used to develop therapeutic compounds.
Mini-brains that are able to grow blood vessels are paramount for future investigation of neurological disorders, researchers report.
Women infected with the Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) parasite, which is spread through contact with cat feces or eating undercooked meat or unwashed vegetables, are at increased risk of attempting suicide, according to a new study of more than 45,000 women in Denmark.
Researchers announce a new study that aims to identify new biomarkers that can be detected during the earliest stages of Alzheimer's disease.
Preliminary results in mice show that Fgf injections near a spinal injury increase both the number of glia cells at the site and the elongated morphology. Their evidence suggests that Fgfs may work to create an environment more supportive of regeneration in mammals as well and could be a valuable therapeutic target.
