Researchers report a new 'anti-radiation' medication can help protect astronauts' brains from the cosmic radiation of deep space.
Those with a genetic predisposition to frontotemporal dementia (FTD) can become resilient to the neurodegenerative disease by remaining physically and mentally active.
Inhibiting VIP interneurons disrupts medial prefrontal cortex representations of anxiety-related information which drive avoidance behaviors.
Researchers report menopausal women who experience intimate partner violence and emotional abuse have increased risk of developing heightened symptoms of menopause.
Scientists are beginning to understand the neuroscience behind sensory processing disorder and are developing new therapies to help those with SPD.
According to researchers, a mutation in a gene associated with brain development may dispose people to various psychiatric illnesses as it reduces synapse numbers. Lithium may help to restore some of the synapses.
Older adults who took brief, weekly "awe walks" for eight weeks reported improvements in positive emotions and a decrease in daily life stress.
CRISPR gene-editing technology allowed researchers to pinpoint specific neurons and mechanisms related to the effects of oxidative stress in the brain.
Contrary to popular belief, moderate coffee consumption does not increase the risk of cardiac arrhythmias or other heart health problems. Researchers found daily coffee consumption was associated with a 3% lower risk of certain cardiac conditions. Findings add to the growing body of evidence that coffee consumption can help reduce the risk of several health problems including Parkinson's disease and some cancers.
