UCSF researchers report maternal stress could impact the development of a child's parasympathetic nervous system, both in utero and after birth. Additionally, children whose mothers were stressed during pregnancy smile less, are less engaged and have a diminished ability to regulate emotions.
Researchers investigate how synaptic pruning occurs during development in hopes of discovering how neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders occur.
Researchers have identified monthly cycles of brain activity that are linked to seizures in people with epilepsy.
Genetically increasing klotho helps boost cognitive function in mice models of Alzheimer's disease, researchers report.
Researchers report keeping levels of KYNA low throughout a worm's life can help prevent the onsite of age-related cognitive decline.
UCSF researchers report neural stem cells only have a very limited capacity to replenish brain tissue.
A new study reveals a molecule produced in the blood of younger animals can help improve memory and cognition in older mice.
Although observed in other species, researchers report hippocampal neurogenesis does not persist through adult life in humans. Researchers say human hippocampal neurogenesis is not detectable in the adult brain.
Researchers implicate the FOXM1 gene as a common driver in aggressive meningioma brain cancer.
A new study reveals veterans who suffered a concussion are at a 56% increased risk of developing Parkinson's disease.
A new study adds to growing evidence that concussions can lead to neurodegenerative diseases. Researchers report the likelihood of developing dementia was found to double following a concussion, even when consciousness wasn't lost, in a veteran study.
