Previous research has linked oral bacteria and poor dental hygiene to an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease. Now, researchers have discovered a link between Streptococcus anginosus, a bacteria found in oral abscesses, and an increased risk of brain abscesses.
Regardless of where children come from, they will challenge their peers who break the rules. However, how they challenge rule-breakers varies between cultures.
Low-intensity transcranial ultrasound stimulation helps modulate brain activity and behaviors associated with a range of psychiatric disorders, a new study reports.
Mirtazapine, an antidepressant commonly prescribed to treat dementia-associated agitation, is no more effective than a placebo and may increase mortality risks, researchers report.
Study reveals individual differences in how we perceive and imagine visual images we have seen.
Researchers discuss different current neural network models and consider the steps that need to be taken to make them more realistic, and thus more useful, as possible.
Virtual reality can help reduce painful sensations following touch people with nerve damage experience.
Neuroimaging and computational neuroscience studies reveal different ways and brain areas implicated in decision making.
Results show the blood-pressure-lowering effects of exercise were diminished by more than 60% over the first hour of recovery, and completely absent two hours post-exercise in those who used antibacterial mouthwash.
Spending time in nature can help reduce the strength and frequency of cravings.
A new study in fruit fly models reveals STRIPAK components act as a switch to turn off quiescence and turn on the reactivation of neural stem cells.
Current fMRI tests designed to detect deception by looking at specific areas of the brain may be vulnerable to mental countermeasures. In order to improve reliability, researchers call for whole brain analysis, rather than just examining brain regions of interest.
