New evidence suggests astrocytes can sense and react to change. These processes are key to memory formation and behavioral shifts.
Researchers are investigating the benefits of psychedelics on cognition from memory malleability to cognitive creativity.
A new method determines, with 91% accuracy whether a person is suffering from anxious or non-anxious depression from brain signals while the eyes are closed.
Glycine, a common amino acid, appears to play a role in the development of major depression, anxiety, and other mood-related disorders.
Researchers are leading the effort to understand the human genome on an individual level, identifying the specific genetic mutations that lead to illness based on the patient's own genome.
Researchers have uncovered a neural mechanism involving the brain's immune system that spurs alcohol use disorder.
Study aims to assess why highly-processed foods are so rewarding to the brain and why they are so over-consumed as part of the Western diet.
The spikey fruits of the invasive weed Cocklebur have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that can promote the production of collagen in the skin.
