Human iPSCs transplanted into animal models of multiple sclerosis help repair cell damage and restore function. Read More
Researchers have identified a genetic switch in neurons that can toggle between sex-specific states when necessary. Read More
A new study links caffeine consumption during pregnancy to changes in important brain pathways that help regulate behavior in children. Read More
Transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS) helps boost visual learning in patients with chronic cortical blindness, leading to a recovery in motion processing within 10 days of exposure. The effects of the tRNS treatment appear to last for at least six months. Read More
Researchers report human milk oligosaccharides, complex sugars in human breastmilk, may change in pregnant women who are taking probiotics. Read More
University of Rochester researchers report low levels of electrical stimulation delivered to areas of the brain responsible for movement can instruct an appropriate response, replacing signals for sensory processing. Read More
People find potential romantic partners more attractive when they have, what researchers called, a "sexy mindset." They also tend to overestimate their chances of romantic success when aroused. The findings suggest the sexual system prepares the ground for forming relationships by biasing interpersonal perceptions. Read More
People are more likely to change their attitudes and engage in deceptive self-presentation when the possibility of sex is looming. Read More
What and how you contribute to the world could be key to happiness in 2021. Read More
A new study reports inflammation in the blood may play a role in cognitive problems following chemotherapy. Researchers report identifying the inflammatory biomarkers and reducing inflammation may prevent some of the symptoms of chemo brain. Read More
Researchers identified several brain areas that acted as hubs for information processing across brain networks that contribute to memory recall. They observed how activation patterns within these networks differed on an individual level, based on personal levels of recall detail and imagination. Read More
When it comes to processing information about motion, neurons in the ventral intraparietal area of the brain are more flexible in switching between reference frames. The findings could be used to develop neural prosthetics designed for motion control. Read More
