Six or fewer hours of sleep at the time of vaccination reduces the body's antibody response, researchers say.
Tracking hippocampal neurons in mice as they watched a movie revealed novel ways to improve artificial intelligence and track neurological disorders associated with memory and learning deficits.
Researchers have successfully created a synthetic version of a small molecule found in a recently discovered sea sponge that appears to have therapeutic benefits for Parkinson's disease.
Researchers have developed a soft, implantable brain probe that can monitor serotonin and dopamine activity in real-time.
The basics of visual perception, such as object orientation, are largely independent of cultural variation and apply broadly across human populations.
Researchers say estimates of how strongly diseases and traits share genetic signals could be over-inflated. Instead, they suggest, mating patterns may help explain the biological relationship between traits.
Brain changes associated with ASD encompass more areas than previously believed, a new study reports. Researchers identified brain-wide changes in all 11 cortical regions analyzed. The greatest gene drop-offs were found in the visual cortex and the parietal cortex, a brain area associated with processing touch, pain, and temperature information. The findings shed light on sensory hypersensitivity associated with ASD. Additionally, researchers say the RNA alterations associated with ASD are more likely a cause than a result of autism.
Higher levels of the inflammatory C-reactive protein were discovered in older breast cancer survivors who experienced cognitive issues. The study is one of the first long-term assessments linking chronic inflammation to cognitive decline in breast cancer survivors.
A new study offers guidelines and methods for consistently generating high-quality, well-structured brain organoids.
Study reports warm-blooded animals with higher body temperatures have lower amounts of REM sleep, while those with lower body temperatures have more REM sleep. Researchers say REM sleep acts like a "thermostatically controlled brain heater."
Neurofeedback has the potential to alleviate symptoms of "brain fog" and cognitive impairments associated with chemotherapy.
Researchers have identified multiple new risk genes for Alzheimer's disease and progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP).
