High-fat diets induce hyperalgesic priming, a neurological change that represents the transition from acute to chronic pain, and allodynia or pain resulting from stimuli that do not normally provoke pain.
Behavioral inhibition at 12 to 24 months of age was associated with an increased risk of developing depression, more so than anxiety, during later life. This is especially true for inhibited children who showed blunted activity in the ventral striatum during adolescence.
A new study will explore the genesis of pain on a molecular and cellular level, with the goal of finding new treatments for chronic pain conditions.
Study reveals how the origins of pain are generated by nociceptors in the dorsal root ganglia.
Neuroimaging study ties the degradation of circuitry in one area of the brain to reduced efficiency of executive function in older adults.
Scene selective cortical regions are more sensitive to age than face-selective regions when it comes to memory and perception.
Successful social interactions for adults on the autism spectrum revolve around partner compatibility, not just the skill set of the other person.
Parents who communicate with their infants help improve language skills and later abilities. Researchers say parents can make a significant difference in language development, even in children with an ASD diagnosis.
A study that used postmortem brain tissue samples from Alzheimer's patients and mouse models found the hunger hormone ghrelin is linked to cognitive impairments and memory loss associated with the disease.
CGRP, a protein associated with migraine pain, appears to act differently between sexes. Researchers say a female-specific mechanism of downstream CGRP receptor activation is likely to contribute to the higher prevalence of migraine in women.
Researchers report abnormalities in brainwave activity could be a common link between depression, Parkinson's disease, tinnitus and neuropathic pain.
According to researchers, the adult brain may be sensitive to social and economic factors. Researchers report in middle age, better socioeconomic status is associated with more efficient brain network organization and thicker gray matter.
