The vocabulary we use to describe our emotions is an indicator of mental health, physical health, and overall well-being. Read More
Transcranial vagus nerve stimulation could significantly improve a person's ability to learn the sounds of a new language. The non-invasive stimulation technique could have positive implications for boosting other types of learning also. Read More
Spinal cord stimulation restores the sense of feeling of limbs lost to amputation. Read More
Researchers have traced neural pathways that connect the brain to the gut. The findings provide a biological mechanism that explains how stress can cause ulcers. Read More
Machine learning algorithm allows a brain-computer interface to readjust itself continually in the background to ensure the system is always calibrated and ready to use. Read More
A new COVID-19 vaccine produces antibodies specific to SARS-CoV-2 at quantities believed sufficient for neutralizing the virus, a mouse model study reveals. The new vaccine using an innovative microneedle array on fingertip-sized pads, which increases the vaccine potency. Read More
The fetal gut has far better developed immune capabilities than previously thought. The findings could help develop new maternal vaccines and provide early insight into potential autoimmune disorders, which may occur later in life. Read More
Gene expression rhythms in the brains of those with schizophrenia are highly disrupted a new study reports. The expression of genes is significantly different in those with schizophrenia who died at night compared to the general population. The findings provide new insight into a potential mechanism that underlies gene expression in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex in those with schizophrenia. Read More
Mouse study reveals pain-sensing neurons also help fight skin infections and help prevent its spread. The findings suggest a new type of immunity. Read More
Learning a new skill may involve the generation of new neural activity patterns. Read More
Responsive neurostimulation can remodel neural networks, leaving the brain less susceptible to epileptic seizures. Read More
According to a new study, negative interactions on social media may increase feelings of loneliness and social isolation in young adults. Read More
