A newly developed, open-source app that utilizes AI technology allows researchers to precisely map the structure of the hippocampus.
Perception in virtual reality is more strongly influenced by expectations than visual information, researchers report.
Patterns of cognitive impairments suffered by those infected with COVID-19 were similar to those of healthy people who are sleep deprived. Additionally, worse symptoms of cognitive impairment in coronavirus patients were directly correlated with more severe infection.
Passive exercise increases cerebral blood flow and improves executive function, providing the same cognitive benefits as more active exercise.
Study explores how maternal infection can affect fetal brain development, leading to sensory processing disruptions associated with ASD and schizophrenia.
Tissue in specific brain areas increases in patients with psychosis, even before they receive treatment.
A new study disputes the findings of a controversial 2018 study, confirming there is no evidence for rapid-onset gender dysphoria (ROGD). Researchers say the ROGD hypothesis is harmful and perpetuates fear and discrimination against the trans community.
A new study sheds light on the genetic causes of a range of neurodegenerative disorders, including ALS, Parkinson's disease, and Huntington's disease, and determines factors that impact the age of onset as well as disease severity.
Due to social restrictions following the COVID lockdowns, people may need to brush up on their social skills of concentrating on conversations. A new study reveals people can train themselves to do this on their own.
Neuroimaging study reveals a biological deficit in some children with dyslexia that impairs phonological decoding.
People who experienced language and communication difficulties as a result of psychosis showed weaker connectivity in the superior temporal area, an area of the brain associated with language processing. Those with greater language problems had greater connectivity in other areas of the brain, suggesting the brain may utilize other areas to compensate for language in patients with psychosis.
Patients with psychosis who have higher levels of an antioxidant called glutathione responded more quickly to medications and had improved outcomes. Researchers estimate a 10% increase in antioxidants could lead to reduced time spent in hospital for those with psychosis.
