Stimulating the posterior cingulate cortex increased hippocampal gamma-band power and strengthened the connections between the two brain regions. Using deep brain stimulation could help to treat memory disorders and cognitive impairment.
Cannabidiol may buffer the effects of THC on the brain for those who use marijuana. Marijuana with a higher CBD content restores disruptions to the salience network caused by THC exposure.
EGR3 and BDNF may play a critical role in the impaired cellular resilience seen in bipolar disorder, researchers report.
Researchers report neurons in the posterior cingulate cortex ramp up activity prior to divergent behavior.
Light exercise, such as walking, could offer hope for re-establishing some neural connections in people with MCI and Alzheimer's.
A new study reports fMRI brain scans may help doctors to predict which of their patients in a coma will regain consciousness.
Researchers question whether the posterior cingulate cortex actively dampens cognitive performance or monitors performance and attempts to improve it when required.
Brain scans of people under the influence of the psilocybin, the active ingredient in magic mushrooms, have given scientists the...
