A new brain imaging study reveals how the midbrain and striatum, two key areas of the dopamine system, become more active when a person updates their beliefs about the world around them.
A new neuroimaging study reveals methylphenidate, better known as Ritalin, increases the level of dopamine available in the caudate. Along with increased dopamine levels, researchers also notice greater functional connectivity between the prefrontal cortex, hippocampus and precuneus, three areas of the brain associated with memory and attention.
A new study reports people with insulin resistance, a feature common in type 2 diabetes, can increase the risk for developing Alzheimer's disease.
A new machine learning algorithm was able to predict, with 98% accuracy, which patients would develop Alzheimer's disease, six years prior to diagnosis by analyzing PET brain scans.
A new study reports immune cells are more active in the brains of people at risk of developing schizophrenia, as well as those already diagnosed with the disease.
Study reveals how the brain's opioid system modulates response to others in pain.
According to a new twin study, cerebral glucose metabolism plays a major role in the bilateral parietal lobe and left temporal lobe, while environmental factors influence different brain regions.
