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.
Aging may alter neural processes for remembering continuous real-world experiences and segmenting memories. Read More
Analyzing nasal discharge could be a new tool in diagnosing and monitoring the progression of Alzheimer's disease. Researchers found certain Alzheimer's related proteins can be detected in nasal discharge. Read More
Cannabidiol (CBD) increases cerebral blood flow to areas of the brain associated with memory processing, specifically the hippocampus. The findings identify a potential mechanism for the use of CBD to treat disorders associated with altered memory processing, including Alzheimer's disease, PTSD, and schizophrenia. Read More
Researchers have identified a genetic switch in neurons that can toggle between sex-specific states when necessary. Read More
Distinct personality traits emerge and manifest via both behavior and neural activity. Read More
Preschool-aged children on the autism spectrum were 2.7 times more likely to experience gastrointestinal problems, including pain, diarrhea, constipation, and vomiting than their typically developing peers. Almost 50% of those with ASD reported frequent GI symptoms, compared to 18% of those without the disorder. 30% of autistic children experienced multiple GI symptoms. Multiple GI problems were associated with sleep and attention problems, as well as self-harm, aggression, and repetitive behaviors in both children with ASD and those not on the autism spectrum.

Neural networks involved in the same computation will repeatedly converge toward the same firing rates, even if they are perturbed by the natural noisiness of individual neurons or sensory environmental stimuli. Read More
An inexpensive tool allows researchers to demonstrate the effectiveness of facemasks and facial coverings to slow the spread of coronavirus transmission. Findings reveal N95 facemasks, and cotton face coverings provide the best protection from COVID-19. Read More
Focusing on genes associated with psychiatric and neurological disorders, and drugs approved for use in other diseases, a new AI system can increase the effectiveness of drug repurposing. Read More
People experience loneliness differently in adult life, depending on their age. The strongest association with loneliness is feeling excluded from society. Read More
DHA treatment reduced the size of the damaged brain area and initiated a repair mechanism in animal models of stroke. DHA affected the levels of MANF and TREM2, two proteins critical for communication between brain cells. Read More
