Sauna use is linked to improved cardiovascular health, but research also suggests it can offer brain health benefits. Dr Sood explains the mechanism behind it.
The foods we eat may play an important role in keeping our brains healthy as we age. A new study suggests that one eating plan, known as the MIND diet, may be especially helpful for people who already ...
Behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia is one of the most challenging forms of dementia to diagnose. Unlike Alzheimer’s disease, which often begins with memory loss, this condition usually starts ...
Understanding the functionality and complexity of neural networks in the brain represents a significant frontier in neuroscience and neural engineering.
and increase Alzheimer’s risk - Supporting those facing this hardship could help prevent dementia cases in the future, researchers suggest
Researchers found persistent money struggles are linked to poorer brain health later in life and may raise dementia risk.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly embedded in classroom practice in Hong Kong, following the Education Bureau's release of the Blueprint for Digital Education Development in Primary and Secondary Schools and…
A hospital's overall experience with general anesthesia (GA) or conscious sedation (CS) may influence how anesthesia choice affects patient outcomes during mechanical thrombectomy, according to research presented at the…
Supporting those facing financial hardship and reducing poverty could help prevent dementia cases in the future, researchers suggest.
Researchers at the Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery (SNIS) 23rd Annual Meeting presented an experimental neurointerventional technique designed to treat severe back pain, a leading cause of disability and opioid…
ObjectiveThe neural mechanisms behind varying cognitive ability in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) remain unclear. This study compared cortical activation and brain connectivity across ASD subgroups…
Perspective-taking, a key social cognition process, plays a significant role in shaping consumer behavior. Despite its relevance, existing research has largely focused on its visuo-spatial dimensions, with little…
In recent years, commercial lightweight electroencephalography (EEG) headsets are gaining popularity in neuroscience. These devices commonly utilize only a few dry electrodes in specific locations and signal quality is…
Rapid-acting antidepressants like ketamine and serotonergic psychedelics show promise for treatment-resistant depression (TRD), but the molecular mechanisms that contribute to their therapeutic effects remain unclear…
The primate brain exhibits complex RNA alternative splicing heterogeneity crucial for functional complexity, yet systematic spatial isoform characterization has been lacking. We developed Fullscope-seq, a full-length…
The development of dual agonists for the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor (GIPR) has been a landmark moment in the treatment of type 2 diabetes and…
The evaluation of automotive sound quality is of considerable significance for improving driving comfort. However, existing methodologies suffer from notable limitations, including inconsistencies in subjective…
Persistent neuroinflammation is a hallmark of central nervous system (CNS) injury, driving neuronal loss and functional deficits. While microglial lipid metabolic reprogramming, particularly lipid droplet accumulation…
To explore the autonomic nervous function characteristics of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) patients with different sleep duration subtypes and clarify the association between sleep phenotypes and autonomic nervous…
In multiple sclerosis (MS), the retina can be affected by acute inflammation during optic neuritis and by chronic neurodegeneration involving retinal cells. Teriflunomide is an approved immunomodulatory therapy that…
β-Damascone is a naturally occurring aroma compound with pronounced fruity-floral and âsweet-smellingâ notes. Although well characterized olfactorily, its gustatory role and sweetness-enhancing property remain…
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) constitutes one of the few therapeutic strategies for advanced Parkinsonâs disease. Although DBS causes rapid alterations in neuronal metabolism, whether it remodels the circulating…
Leukocyte Immunoglobulin-Like Receptor A3 (LILRA3) gene variants have been previously associated with multiple sclerosis (MS). This study aimed to explore the prevalence of LILRA3 gene variants in a Greek cohort of…
Levodopa combined with a peripheral DOPA decarboxylase inhibitor (DDCI) is the first-line treatment for Parkinson’s disease (PD), yet interindividual response variability remains poorly understood. Whether DDCIs…
Rare genetic variants in the glycine receptor (GlyR) α2 subunit gene (GLRA2) are associated with autism spectrum disorder, developmental delay, and intellectual disability, often accompanied by microcephaly, language…
Olfactory groove meningiomas (OGMs) are slow-growing tumors that compress the orbitofrontal cortex, potentially causing executive dysfunction, affective disturbances and behavioral alterations. However, prospective…
Post-stroke depression (PSD) is a common complication among stroke survivors and is closely associated with executive function deficits, yet effective treatments targeting both domains remain limited. Transcutaneous…
As the population continues to age, a rise in the number of individuals experiencing mild cognitive impairment or dementia symptoms is anticipated. Brain atrophy is strongly associated with cognitive decline that could…
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) remains a highly lethal brain malignancy, and although maximal surgical resection can improve outcomes, many tumors are not amenable to aggressive surgery due to proximity to critical…
Understanding how the brain evaluates aversion and appetition to guide behavior is an important question. Here, we investigated the role of dopamine signaling in the tail of the striatum (TS) in regulating competing…
