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.
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.
With the help of snails, researchers investigate the neural processes at work when we develop food aversions after eating a bad meal.
Researchers have identified a new neurodegenerative disease that is caused by a genetic mutation that disrupts DNA repair.
Researchers have identified a molecule that appears to play a vital role in long term memory formation.
Drinking small amounts of alcohol, like one pint of beer or a large glass of wine, significantly impairs our feeling of being in control of our actions. A new study reveals even one beer can lead to overconfidence in driving ability and make us act in inappropriate, potentially dangerous ways. The study begs the question, are current alcohol limits for driving truly safe?
Researchers report it is possible to build up a rapport with a cat by simply using an eye narrowing technique.
A new framework outperforms previous models in predicting and assessing neural network properties.
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.
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.
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.
When it comes to teaching children new words and how to read, less is more for illustrations. Researchers find having more than one illustration per page hinders children's ability to learn new words.
