Hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin, two drugs touted as potential coronavirus therapeutics, could increase the risk of heart arrhythmias, cardiologists say. Read More
Hikikomori, the condition of extreme social isolation, is more ubiquitous than previously believed. Researchers say modern tools to help improve interpersonal communication may have the opposite effect. Read More
A lack of oxygen as a result of preterm birth does not cause hippocampal neurons to die but does impair hippocampal development. Hypoxia causes hippocampal cells to fail to mature normally, causing a reduction in long-term potentiation and impaired learning. Read More
New model could inform the development of new treatments for Lewy body diseases by targeting alpha-synuclein DNA repair mechanisms. Read More
Combining infrared laser stimulation with ultra-high-field MRI, researchers revolutionize brain mapping. Read More
A study in mouse models of multiple sclerosis demonstrates a compound called sobetirome promotes remyelination, and a derivative of the compound can penetrate the blood-brain barrier to enable a tenfold increase in infiltration to the CNS. Researchers are confident their research will translate from mice into humans, providing a new avenue of treatment for MS. Read More
Dopamine activation controls the ensemble activity of neurons and increases oscillatory activity in the prefrontal cortex. Read More
Heavy drinking during adolescence negatively impacts brain development and growth. Chronic alcohol exposure reduces cerebral white matter and the development of the subcortical thalamus. Read More
Researchers have identified a molecule in white matter that prevents the brain from repairing itself following injury. By blocking the production of the molecule, researchers say it may allow an effective pathway for neuroregeneration. Read More
A new study confirms previous findings that link inflammation during pregnancy to altered brain development in children. Researchers have created a machine learning algorithm that can predict the long term neurodevelopmental impact of MIA. Read More
A new study could lead to the development of additional SSRIs to help treat depression and anxiety. Read More
Machine learning study reveals that, much like genetics, brain connectivity patterns are passed down from parents to children. Read More
