Obesity is associated with alterations in brain structure, including lower gray matter volume and smaller globus pallidus volume.
Researchers have identified how specific brain areas change over time in patients with Parkinson's disease.
Treatment resistant bipolar disorder patients experienced a reversal of a key symptom 40 minutes after a single infusion of ketamine, a new study reports.
Chronic stress can affect a person's health and mental well being. Due to the COVID-19 virus, chronic stress is on the rise worldwide. Researchers examine the general and psychological health implications of chronic stress and suggest some methods we can adopt to keep our stress levels in check.
Researchers discover people with schizophrenia have greater volume in globus pallidus than in healthy subjects.
Researchers identified 48 common genetic variants that appear to play a role in the size of the brainstem and other subcortical structures. Forty of the variants were novel. The findings also revealed 199 genes related to the variants which regulate brain development and susceptibility to neurological disorders.
Researchers report a single session of transcranial magnetic stimulation can significantly reduce drug cue reactivity for those with substance abuse problems.
A study spanning 17 years has found children born and raised in poverty had smaller subcortical brain regions, including the hippocampus, caudate, putamen, and thalamus. These brain areas also showed less growth over time.
According to researchers, children who carry the APOE4 gene and who are exposed to air pollution have higher behavior problem scores and their attention capacity was slower to develop.
The measure of iron in the brain may help doctors predict which patients with Parkinson's disease are most likely to develop dementia.
A new Journal of Neuroscience study reveals the activation of a brain area associated with reward response early in the afternoon.
Study reports the putamen, not just the cortex, contributes to the brain's ability to multitask.
