According to researchers, socially contagious itching may be hard wired in the brain.
A new, custom built microscope allows neuroscientists a closer look at the detailed workings of a synapse.
A new study reveals astrocytes play an surprisingly important role in the body's circadian clock.
Researchers find no evidence that a serotonin related gene alters the impact stress has on depression.
Researchers have developed a new, non-invasive method of measuring Tau levels in the blood.
Researchers use CRISPR gene editing technology to rewire stem cells in order to fight inflammation caused by arthritis.
Researchers use BCI and exoskeleton technology to allow people with paralyzed hands following stroke to regain movement and control of their limb.
A new study published in brain reveals that just one night of sleep disruption causes an increase in amyloid beta in the brains of healthy, middle aged people. A full week of sleep disturbances leads to a build up of Tau, another protein associated with Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases. The study sheds light on why poor sleep has previously been associated with the development of Alzheimer's and other dementias.
Researchers have devised a new blood test that can detect if amyloid had begun to accumulate in the brain. The test help physicians diagnose Alzheimer's disease in a cheaper, less invasive way than currently available. The researchers will present their findings at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference in London.
A new study reveals that by the age of three, children are already starting to follow complex rules and patterns that govern how letters fit together to make words.
A new Nature Communications study reports researchers have identified a population of neurons in the anterior cingulate cortex that become active when an animal is faced with the possibility of an anxious event.
Researchers join their own experiments as test subjects to evaluate different brain networks. Using neuroimaging to scan their brains, researchers created individual detailed maps of neural connections.
