Males with autism have atypically enhanced excitation in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC). This area of the brain is associated with social cognition and self-reflection. Autistic women showed a more intact mPFC response, which was associated with a better ability to camouflage social difficulties in real-world settings. Read More
Tufts researchers have developed neurotransmitter-lipid hybrids that help transport therapeutic drugs and gene editing proteins across the blood-brain barrier in mice. Read More
Repeatedly administered tactile simulation over a sustained period of time alters neural processing of the hand area in the brain. The observable changes over time illustrate neuroplasticity and shed new light on the process of learning. Read More
Astrocytes are important for uninterrupted slow wave sleep and brain rhythms that are essential for learning and memory, through mechanisms involving intracellular calcium signals. Read More
Using artificial intelligence and neuroimaging, researchers have identified a link between mental imagery and vision. The brain uses similar visual areas for mental imagery and vision but uses low-level visual areas less precisely for mental imagery than vision. Read More
An EEG study reveals people with schizophrenia and their siblings without the disorder share patterns of brain activity that are different from people with no familial history of schizophrenia. As one sibling didn't suffer from schizophrenia, researchers say the different brain signature could serve as a biomarker for the mental health disorder. Read More
Researchers induced arm movements in macaque monkeys by using optogenetics to target the motor cortex. Read More
Focused ultrasound treatments show promise in the fight against glioblastoma brain cancer. Sonodynamic therapy may also help treat other difficult-to-treat cancers. Read More
One hour long session with a cuddly seal-like social robot increased happiness, boosted oxytocin levels, and reduced pain in adults. Read More
The human brain avoids taking unnecessary effort while reading by regulating the resources used in order to identify the most essential information. Read More
A new system for high-density EEG helps with the imaging of the origin and path of both normal and abnormal neural activity. Read More
AI network simulations become unstable following continuous periods of unsupervised learning. When the networks were exposed to states that are analogous to human brain waves during sleep, the stability was restored. Read More
