Researchers have identified a source of spontaneous bursts of neural activity in the brains of preterm babies.
A new joint initiative, dubbed the International Brain Lab, will bring together researchers from around the world to investigate the neural mechanisms of learning and decision making.
UCL researchers report 24 percent of girls aged 14 report feeling symptoms of depression. Only 9 percent of young teenage males reported feeling depressed.
A JAMA Psychiatry study reports the detrimental effect of childhood bullying decreases over time.
Researchers report a gentle touch from another person can help to soothe the pain of social exclusion.
A test that uses images of cats and dogs may prove to be a quick and effective method of predicting which patients in early stages of Parkinson's disease will develop dementia.
Switching between operational modes occurs dynamically according to the demands of the task at hand, a new study reports.
UCL researchers use a new math equation to identify brain signals that explain why our self esteem rises, or lowers, when we find out what others think of us.
Advances in machine learning could allow researchers to detect drug effects that may be missed through conventional statistical analysis, researchers report.
A new study reveals newborns who are stressed by their environment have a greater neural pain response following a routine skin lance than babies who are not stressed. However, the neural response is not matched by their physical reaction to pain.
UCL researchers report people with a higher body mass index are more likely to develop dementia than those of a lower weight.
UCL researchers report clinical trials of IONIS-HTTRx have shown success in reducing the huntinting protein in the nervous system of those with Huntington's disease. The drug is safe and well tolerated by human patients, the researchers note.
