Current reporting, research and professional developments across Neuropsychology, curated for psychologists and behavioral-health professionals.
Background Opioid use disorder is driven by neurobehavioral adaptations where environmental cues trigger relapse. Consequently, extinction therapy (ET) aims to modify drug-associated memories but has limited long-term…
Background A common magnitude system—consistently involving the right intraparietal sulcus (IPS)—has been proposed to support the representation of space, time and numerosity. While shared mechanisms are acknowledged…
Cognitive functions are critical to everyday life, and enhancing cognitive abilities has significant implications for both individual development and societal advancement. However, there remains no consensus on whether…
Obesity accelerates the rise of Alzheimer’s-related blood biomarkers far more rapidly than previously recognized. Long-term imaging and plasma data show that obese individuals experience much faster increases in proteins…
This professional programme is designed for practicing clinical psychologists who work in the UK. It is delivered in partnership ...
This study aimed to investigate the sex-dependent behavioral effects of tamoxifen, commonly used to induce Cre recombination in transgenic systems, across three developmental stages (adult, adolescent, and neonatal) and…
What if picking up a paintbrush, dancing to music, or learning a new game could help your brain stay biologically younger?
Background Essential tremor (ET) is a common movement disorder characterized by persistent limb tremors. Currently, no effective treatment for ET exists. Natural plant-derived compounds, like the flavonoid, quercetin may…

For decades, psychologists and neuroscientists have explored a deceptively simple question: How much influence do our thoughts ...
Scientists studying young adults with obesity discovered early indicators of brain stress that resemble patterns seen in cognitive impairment. The group showed higher inflammation, signs of liver strain and elevated…
Heat Shock Protein Family A Member 1B (Hspa1b) is an RNA binding protein that regulates transcriptional and post transcriptional processes. Previous studies have suggested its protective role in stress adaptation and…
Research into memory mechanisms has predominantly centered on adult male rodents, often overlooking the influences of sex and developmental stage. Memory processes vary significantly between juveniles and adults, with…
Neuropsychology is the science linking the functioning of the brain with cognitive and emotional experience and behaviour.

Jinx, you owe me a soda! These moments often feel uncanny, like something more than a mere conversational coincidence. The ...
Cognitive flexibility—the ability to adaptively shift between different mental processes—is essential for human functioning. This meta-analysis examines age-related changes in neural correlates of cognitive flexibility…
Exercising regularly is one of the effective ways to reduce the risk of Alzheimer's diseaseiStock Alzheimer's disease is a ...
