Neuroscience research articles and press releases that cover research published in Open Access journals are listed below. We use Open Access (OA) to mean that the general public has free, open access to research journal articles published online.
Exposure to BPA during the gestational period leads to decreased neural viability and neural density in the hippocampus of male offspring. Additionally, exposure led to the dysregulation of ASD-related genes in the hippocampus. Findings suggest BPA may serve as an environmental factor that contributes to the prevalence of male-bias in autism. Read More
Better glucose uptake compensates for age-related motor deterioration and extends lifespan in fruitflies. Read More
Using a snap-freezing method, researchers have been able to reveal the true structure of the connections that join neurons together in the adult brain. Read More
Lower white blood cell count associated with HIV infection was linked to decreased volume in the hippocampus and thalamus. Read More
Protein hyper-interleukin-6, a "designer protein" that has to be produced via genetic engineering, enabled a paralyzed mouse to walk again. Read More
When people agree, their brains display a synchrony of activity in sensory areas. When they disagree, may other brain regions associated with cognitive function become active. Read More
Promoting and maintaining a better gut microbial balance may help to protect against symptoms of anorexia in those with the eating disorder. Read More
In most community settings, compared with doing nothing, mindfulness reduced stress, anxiety, depression, and increased wellbeing. However, in some cases, mindfulness may be no better than other practices to reduce anxiety and depression. Read More
Researchers have created a robot that can learn to visually predict how its partner will behave. This could help robots get along with other robots and humans more intuitively. Read More
NAA, a compound in the brain, plays a key role in emotional agency and flexibility in healthy people. Read More
Adults and adolescents who use vaping products are more likely to experience problems with concentration, memory, and decision making than their peers who don't vape or smoke. Those who began vaping before age 14 are more likely to experience "mental fog" as they develop into adulthood. Read More
