Researchers found people with personality disorders such as borderline personality disorder and narcissistic personality disorder, and those with depression and anxiety are more likely to participate in psychological research studies. Due to this, the findings of studies may be unduly influenced and may be difficult to be replicated.
Elite football players are 1.5 times more likely to develop a neurodegenerative disorder such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's, or ALS than the general population.
Supplementing the amino acid D-serine helped to mitigate some of the age-related changes associated with a decline of the hypothalamic hormone Menin in mouse models.
Changes in brain activity in the anterior cingulate cortex could be the best predictor of depression severity.
The brain creates specific and distinct spaces within the cortex for each general rule of working memory and controls these spaces with brain rhythms, researchers report.
Sleep quality is a more important factor when it comes to improved quality of life over sleep duration, a new study reports.
Dogs with anxiety have stronger neural connections between the amygdala and other areas of the anxiety network in the brain compared to less anxious dogs.
If neural assemblies between the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex fail to sync together at the correct time, memories are lost.
Researchers have developed a more powerful and energy-efficient memristor, based on the structure of the human brain, that combines data storage and processing. The new technology, made from nanocrystals of halogenated perovskite, is not yet ready for use as it is difficult to integrate with existing computer chips, but it has potential for parallel processing of large amounts of data.
Older adults who consumed a Mediterranean-style diet had a 23% lower risk of developing dementia than those who consumed a typical diet.
Navigational problems and an increased risk of developing prosopagnosia, or face blindness, have been associated with COVID-19 infection.
Higher levels of immune proteins are present in the blood both before and after an epileptic seizure. Researchers say the biomarkers can be identified via a simple blood test.
