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.
Persistent pain, which is common in those over the age of 65, was linked to meaningful declines in physical function and well-being.
Previous research has linked oral bacteria and poor dental hygiene to an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease. Now, researchers have discovered a link between Streptococcus anginosus, a bacteria found in oral abscesses, and an increased risk of brain abscesses.
Study identified three new genes that appear to be involved in the pathologies associated with multiple sclerosis.
Older adults with cognitive decline who have higher levels of vitamin D in their brains had better cognitive function than their peers with lower levels of vitamin D.
Gene usage in the brains of those who suffered severe COVID-19 infections was similar to that observed in the aging brain. Researchers say COVID-19 is associated with molecular signatures of brain aging.
Older adults who participated in group exercise programs showed improvements in sleep quality, muscle strength and flexibility, balance, and coordination. They also reported improvements in self-confidence.
Functional brain networks and brain shrinkage are affected in different ways by age, gender, and blood immune factors.
In those with hearing loss, using hearing aids or cochlear implants was associated with a long-term reduction of cognitive decline by 19% and a 3% improvement in cognitive test scores.
Researchers identified two genes that respond to age-related iron accumulation in the substantia nigra. Knockdown of these genes results in severely impairing the cellular tolerance for iron toxicity.
Across different languages, swear words tend to lack l, r, and w sounds. Researchers say the approximants, or common pattern of the sounds, are less suitable than other sounds for giving offense.
CAR-T, a therapy generally used in the treatment of cancer, has been shown to eliminate unhealthy cells that trigger autoimmunity in mouse models of multiple-sclerosis.
