Featured articles can cover neuroscience, brain research, regenerative medicine, psychology, genetics, robotics, neurology and many other cognitive science topics. Featured neuroscience articles are articles that we believe to be very important, or that our readers will most likely want to read. Featured articles usually include an image and tend to be shared more across the social networks.
Researchers have identified a molecular mechanism that disrupts the flow of enzymes in axons, results in the accumulation of amyloid plaques. Read More
Older adults who experienced financial exploitation showed differences in brain activity in areas associated with social judgment and decision making. Additionally, those who are exploited financially tend to be physically frailer than their peers, with particular deficits in vision and hearing. Read More
A newly developed headset capable of brain mapping may help provide new insight into developmental disorders, including autism and cerebral palsy. Read More
Manipulating memory via optogenetics mitigated addiction-related behaviors. Read More
Oxytocin injections in rodent models directly activated SEG/GRP neurons via oxytocin receptors and influenced male sexual functions in the lumbar spinal cord. Reducing the activity of oxytocin receptors resulted in a decrease in sexual activity and ejaculatory response in the animals. Read More
Stress and depression may increase the risk of dementia and cognitive decline in older members of the LGBTQ community, a new study reports. Read More
Expressing neuron enriched mitochondrial proteins, researchers achieved a four times higher glial cell conversion rate and simultaneously increased the speed of neural reprogramming. Read More
Learning a new language as an adult alters hemisphere specialization for comprehension, but not for production. Read More
People with strong moral and political convictions who saw images of protestors congruent to their own views showed activation in the brain's reward system. The study suggests violent acts in political protests can arise as a desire to act morally, rather than from bad intentions. Read More
A new study challenges the popular theory of intrinsic, dynamic patterns control motor behaviors. Researchers found neuron population dynamics in the motor cortex are different during reaching and grasping behaviors. Read More
Poor sleep and inadequate oxygen supply associated with obstructive sleep apnea appears to affect cytokines. This could explain the link between OSA and an increased risk of autoimmune disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis. Read More
