Current reporting, research and professional developments across Neuropsychology, curated for psychologists and behavioral-health professionals.
Museums, libraries, archives and heritage organizations face a difficult problem: Many of the objects they preserve are made from materials that naturally deteriorate.
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder lacking effective disease-modifying therapies. A promising regenerative approach involves enhancing endogenous neurogenic capacity within the injured…
Factors influencing pupil size can be experimentally controlled or held constant in laboratory experiments, but how the pupil reflects changes in retinal input from the visual environment in real-world viewing conditions…
Parkinsonism comprises a group of progressive neurodegenerative disorders, including Parkinson’s disease and atypical parkinsonism. In advanced stages, advance care planning (ACP) and coordinated care are important to…
Maternal consumption of hyperpalatable cafeteria diets has been associated with adverse outcomes in offspring. This exploratory pilot study evaluated potential metabolic, growth trajectory, histological, neurochemical…
Attentional focus instructions have long been recognized for their impact on motor performance and learning, yet their influence on the neuromechanical aspects of gait—spanning multiple analytical levels—remains…
Locomotion - whether walking, running, or crawling - depends on the precise coordination of forces between the body and its surroundings. Two critical factors in this process are the force that resists the relative…
Working memory and evidence integration are fundamental components of cognition. Theoretical and behavioral studies argue that both processes are required for plume navigation, a behavior in which animals use stochastic…
Correction to: Communications Biology https://doi.org/10.1038/s42003-025-09088-3, published online 06 November 2025 Following publication of this article, the title has been updated to clarify that the study was…
To investigate how ischemic stroke alters neural activity in the caudal forelimb area (CFA) and identify electrophysiological mechanisms underlying post-stroke motor deficits. Local field potentials were recorded…
Nociceptors, primary afferent nerve fibers that signal noxious stimuli, are broadly divided into slowly conducting unmyelinated C fibers and fast-conducting myelinated A fibers. Whereas C-nociceptors have been…
Sepsis is a deadly syndrome arising from overactivation of the immune system in response to a pathogen. Severe sepsis can result in sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) that significantly contributes to morbidity and…
Radiation-induced brain injury (RBI) is frequently associated with bloodâbrain barrier (BBB) disruption, which contributes to poor prognosis. Neural stem cell-derived exosomes (NSC-Exo) have recently attracted…
Retinal dystrophies such as retinitis pigmentosa (RP) and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affect millions of individuals worldwide and remain leading causes of irreversible blindness. Photoreceptor transplantation…
Domestic pigs (Sus scrofa domesticus) have been an important animal model for preclinical studies of gene-based therapies related to the treatment of human genetic sensorineural hearing loss, due to their genetic and…
The rapid growth of sustainable finance in recent years has fueled interest in green investment, ranging from green bonds and environmental, social and governance (ESG) funds to energy-efficient cryptocurrencies. While…
A new study reveals that detailed personalized feedback from humanoid robots causes immediate cognitive overload after errors, slowing immediate recovery despite improving long-term task performance.
A new study reveals that greater Japanese horseshoe bats asymmetrically adjust their echolocation call frequencies to align with colony mates.
A new study links six or more hours of daily social media use to a two-fold increase in anxiety and a three-fold increase in suicidal ideation among youth.
By measuring allele frequency changes across adult age groups, the team identified 168 variants under active selection, including 71 pathogenic mutations under purifying selection.
A long-term hyena study reveals female reproductive inequality exceeds male inequality over multiple generations.
A new study shows that lipoic acid trisulfide (LASSS) protects hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) from age-related nitration.
Using site-specific knockout mouse models, researchers found that GIPR agonists suppress appetite via the brainstem, while GIPR antagonists act in the hypothalamus to release a "brake" on hindbrain satiety.
For parents around the world, weekend mornings often look the same: standing on the sidelines of a soccer field, basketball court or American football field. In Australia's southern states, it's often an Australian rules…
Our population is aging. The United Nations reports that by 2050, the number of people age 85 and older on our planet is set to triple. But a longer life span isn't the same as a longer health span (the number of years…
Shingles infection might help trigger dementia. And preventing it though vaccination might forestall the latter, too, studies have found.
A new study strengthens the case for exercise as a critical way to protect the brain from age-related decline, including dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
Three large-scale brain imaging studies, drawing on structural MRI scans from nearly 49,000 people, have identified distinct patterns of brain aging that track with conditions including dementia and ...
Cambridge scientists have solved the mystery of why both stimulating and blocking a particular "switch" in the brain can help people lose weight—findings that could help boost the effectiveness of obesity drugs.
Neurodegenerative disorders represent one of the greatest medical and societal challenges of our time. Despite remarkable advances in neuroscience, the ...
