A new study links poor sleep quality in older adults with elevated levels of tau, a protein associated with Alzheimer's disease. Researchers report poor sleep quality later in life may be associated with declining brain health and may be an early indicator of Alzheimer's disease.
Researchers say that while modern formulas and breast milk encourage the growth of similar kinds of gut bacteria in babies, the bacteria work differently.
New coronavirus model finds case spread is concave, meaning the impact of one more infected person diminishes as more people become infected.
Researchers report a clinical trial of a personalized vaccine that targets glioblastoma brain cancer has successfully improved survival rates for patients.
A new study uncovered the neural mechanisms behind how we process and memorize everyday events.
A number of patients who contracted COVID-19 in the early months of the pandemic reported symptoms of neuropathy, including pain, tingling sensations, and numbness that lasted up to three months after recovery. The findings suggest COVID-19 may have lingering effects on peripheral nerves.
Findings show suicidal thoughts can begin in children as young as nine years of age. Family conflict and parental monitoring are significant predictors of suicidal thoughts in children.
A study spanning 17 years has found children born and raised in poverty had smaller subcortical brain regions, including the hippocampus, caudate, putamen, and thalamus. These brain areas also showed less growth over time.
A new 3D imaging method allows researchers to measure brain growth and folding patterns in a baby's brain during the third trimester of pregnancy.
A new study sheds light on how priming may influence our attention to details.
Researchers have developed a new, data driven approach to reveal the topology of networks connected to the circadian clock.
Infants born to mothers living in poverty have smaller volumes of gray and white matter across the entire brain. Additionally, babies born to mothers who live in high crime areas showed differences in brain activity to those whose mothers lived in safer areas. Those born to mothers who experienced crime had weaker neural connections between brain areas that control and process emotions. Maternal stress, researchers say, could be a main factor in the differences in neuroanatomy and brain connectivity.
