Researchers report social norms together with increasing oxytocin can counter xenophobia by enhancing altruistic behaviors.
Workers over 50 often benefit from better mental performance, self-confidence, psychological resilience, and a greater sense of well-being, especially if exposed to specific training sessions.
Blocking the breakdown of a specific fat molecule in the the brains of mice lead to reduced learning ability and memory retention. Additionally, researchers noted an increase of Alzheimer's related proteins. Findings may help explain how dementia may develop in humans, researchers say.
A new mouse study reveals stress impacts motor learning and may lead to the development of motor deficits. Stress, researchers say, leaves traces in the brain that may be permanent.
Researchers converted skin cells from patients with a rare congenital brain defect into pluripotent stem cells to generate brain organoids.
Novel artificial intelligence software can provide a precise assessment of the progression of geographic atrophy. The technology can also determine the integrity of photoreceptors and detect progressive degenerative changes beyond the main lessons associated with GA.
A new study reveals how dangerous inflammations in the brain are caused during the aging process. Researchers say failure with the CB1 to control activity of immune cells may result in chronic neuroinflammation. They say it may be possible to break this vicious cycle in the future with drugs that contain THC, which is a powerful CB1 receptor activator.
A new study reveals human neural activation is different in response to different numbers. The findings demonstrate how we learn to handle number symbols in comparison to quantities.
Lack of the SLK protein results in less abundant dendrites. As a lack of SLK is apparent in many patients with epilepsy, the findings could pave the way for new treatments for those suffering from the neurological disorder.
UV light from sunbathing and mosquito-borne diseases activate NLRP1 through p38, triggering skin inflammation.
Researchers link a gene that encodes a serotonin transporter to social phobia.
Study reveals lonely people showed reduced activity in the anterior insular cortex, an area of the brain associated with trust formation. The anterior insular cortex was less prominently connected to other brain regions in those who expressed feelings of loneliness.
