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.
A meta-analysis study reveals at least 10.6% of the world's population is left-handed. Read More
Aerosolized particles produced while speaking may be enough to transmit coronavirus infection by those who are asymptomatic. Read More
Stress generates lower levels of activity in the hippocampus and frontal-parietal lobe networks, hindering the ability to make certain decisions and plan ahead. Read More
Combining niacin, or vitamin B3, with chemotherapy, helped slow the progression and increase life span in mouse models of glioblastoma. Read More
Mouse show different facial expression depending on their emotional state. Using machine learning, researchers were able to link five different emotional states to the facial expressions of mice. Read More
Hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin, two drugs touted as potential coronavirus therapeutics, could increase the risk of heart arrhythmias, cardiologists say. Read More
Study shows how Toxoplasma parasitic infections promote the loss of inhibitory signaling in the brain by altering the behavior of microglia. Read More
A new COVID-19 vaccine produces antibodies specific to SARS-CoV-2 at quantities believed sufficient for neutralizing the virus, a mouse model study reveals. The new vaccine using an innovative microneedle array on fingertip-sized pads, which increases the vaccine potency. Read More
The genes GRB10 and ABTB1 are influential in nutrient-sensing pathways and memory. Researchers say these genes may be the molecular links between diet, neural stem cell aging, and cognitive ability. Read More
Study reports viral shedding of SARS-CoV-2 occurs in the upper respiratory tract during early COVID-19 infection when symptoms are mild or hardly noticeable. Read More
Memory encoding processes important for decision making begin in the basolateral amygdala. The basolateral amygdala then creates cellular memories in the nucleus accumbens. The findings shed light on the learned connection between stimuli and reward. Read More
