A newly developed neural implant can help restore limb function to those suffering from paralysis and other movement disorders. The device improves the connections between the brain and the paralyzed limbs.
Female red deer with larger brains live longer and have more surviving offspring than those with less endocranial volume, a new study reports.
Researchers report on how differences in cortical anatomy relates to each of the five factors of personality.
Projection neurons have been implicated in the progression of multiple sclerosis. A new study reports projection neurons are damaged by immune cells. This damage could contribute to both atrophy and cognitive changes associated with the disease.
A new Nature Communications study reveals increased calcium levels in brain cells may play a significant role in the development of Parkinson's disease.
University of Cambridge researchers report cholesterol may play a role in the onset of Alzheimer's disease. Researchers discovered cholesterol can trigger amyloid beta to aggregate, which can lead to neuron death.
Activity in the dorsal mid insular could drive different interpretations in bodily sensations in those with mental health disorders like depression, anorexia, and panic disorders.
A new study reveals a brain region that contributes to anhedonia, the loss of pleasure, in those with depression. The study also shows how ketamine acts on this brain region, explaining why the drug appears to be so effective at treating anhedonia.
University of Cambridge researchers report making eye contact with a baby causes brainwave synchronization in both the child and person they are looking at. Researchers believe this synchronization can help boost communication and learning skills.
Researchers report spontaneous errors in DNA that arise as our cells divide and reproduce may be at the root of Alzheimer's disease. The findings suggest the cause of certain neurodegenerative diseases could be traced back to embryonic development.
Researchers have identified a new type of stem cell which may aid neural repair following injury or disease.
Researchers have developed a faster, more precise method of identifying which of a person's genes could be associated with a particular disease.
