Summary: The brains white matter microstructure at just three months of age can predict how an infants emotions will develop over time. Using an advanced imaging technique called NODDI, scientists maοΏ½...
Summary: Researchers have uncovered shared biological mechanisms across major psychiatric disorders by analyzing postmortem brain samples from the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex. Instead of looking aοΏ½...
Summary: A large new study finds that epileptic seizures are significantly more common in patients with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) than previously believed. In some cases, seizures occurred up to οΏ½...
Summary: A long-term study following nearly 50,000 women over 30 years found that drinking caffeinated coffee in midlife is linked to healthier aging. Women who drank regular coffee were more likely οΏ½...
Summary: A new study reveals that adolescents who identify as night owls tend to be more impulsive than their early-rising peers. These teens reported higher negative urgency and lower perseverance, οΏ½...
Summary: A new study explores how the brain quickly learns and remembers important locations by focusing not on excitatory neurons, but on inhibitory ones called parvalbumin interneurons (PVs). TheseοΏ½...
Summary: People who naturally stay up late, so-called βnight owlsβ, are more likely to experience faster cognitive decline than those who are early risers, according to a long-term study. Research...
Summary: Researchers studying the tiny roundworm C. elegans have uncovered a surprising mechanism by which a single brain signal controls both falling asleep and waking up. The chemical messenger FLPοΏ½...
Summary: A new study suggests that SSRIs, commonly prescribed antidepressants, may reduce biological markers of Alzheimers disease. In a cohort of 191 individuals, AD patients on SSRIs had lower leveοΏ½...
Summary: A newly developed lab-designed molecule, JM2, may offer a promising therapy to combat glioblastoma recurrence by targeting the tumors most resilient cells. Researchers discovered that glioblοΏ½...
