Sleep continuity, in addition to sleep quality, can determine how a person with dementia will experience their symptoms the next day.
Scientists are calling for greater support for neuroscience research in Africa. With the world's largest genetic diversity, researchers say Africa is vital to help progress neuroscience and brain disease research.
Decreased blood flow and blood oxygen levels to the hippocampus may explain symptoms of memory loss associated with Alzheimer's. Researchers say increasing hippocampal blood flow could reverse or protect against symptoms of the neurodegenerative disorder.
A new framework outperforms previous models in predicting and assessing neural network properties.
With the help of snails, researchers investigate the neural processes at work when we develop food aversions after eating a bad meal.
Researchers report it is possible to build up a rapport with a cat by simply using an eye narrowing technique.
Study reveals binge drinking is associated with more widespread neural dysfunction than previously believed. In those who binge drink, the visual areas of the brain show unusually high levels of activation. Additionally, those who binge drink have more difficulty in feeling empathy for others.
Study reports naturally occurring lithium in public drinking water may lower suicide rates. Researchers found that in geographical areas with high concentrations of lithium in drinking water, suicide rates were lower in the population.
Coronavirus has been linked to a higher rate of developing venous thromboembolism. A D-dimer blood test is a useful way to identify COVID-19 patients at a higher risk of venous thromboembolism.
The commonly reported effects of the Rubber Hand Illusion can be attributed to imaginative suggestion, researchers report.
Novel biomarkers for glioblastoma brain cancer have been identified in bodily fluids. The discovery may lead to a new, simple, non-invasive blood test to detect brain cancer in the future.
A new fruit fly study reveals a simple genetic system is behind complex movements. The finding sheds light on motor control issues associated with neurodegenerative diseases.
