What is neuroscience? Neuroscience is the scientific study of nervous systems. Neuroscience can involve research from many branches of science including those involving neurology, brain science, neurobiology, psychology, computer science, artificial intelligence, statistics, prosthetics, neuroimaging, engineering, medicine, physics, mathematics, pharmacology, electrophysiology, biology, robotics and technology.
Researchers investigate why boredom can be both good and bad for our mental health and behaviors. Read More
Modifying the levels of two different proteins active in two different brain cells extended the life of fruit flies by 7-9%. The treatment also reduced the buildup of Alzheimer's related amyloid plaques within the brain. Read More
Those who received explicit instructions about the relationship between sound and spelling experienced dramatic improvements in their reading ability. Read More
Increasing lamin B1 levels in aging mice resulted in neural stem cell division and an increase in the number of new neurons. Read More
From helping improve cognitive health to improving symptoms of mental health problems such as depression and anxiety, researchers examine the benefits of exercise on brain health. Read More
The use of social media, specifically to drive "likes" to our content, follows a pattern of "reward learning", much like when an animal is trained to seek food rewards. Read More
Hymecromone, a commonly prescribed spasmolytic medication, is able to suppress immune response in astrocytes in the central nervous system. Read More
Cardiovascular problems can alter gene activity in the hippocampus, increasing the risk for cognitive decline and memory deficits, a new study reports. Read More
Both the ApoE genotype and the sex of the mouse impacted the manner in which the animals with spinal cord injury responded to hypoxia treatment. Females with the ApoE e4 gene had a negative response to intermittent hypoxia. Read More
Sexual activity before sleep increases oxytocin and reduces the stress-related hormone cortisol. Researchers say sexual activity at bedtime can help reduce symptoms of insomnia and reduce sleep disruptions. Read More
Study details a signaling pathway that prevents the overproduction of snRNPs when they are not required. Read More
