Study Comparing Humans and Various Animals Finds General Anesthesia Pushes Nervous Systems Into a Shared Brain State Where Neural Activity Becomes Less Coordinated and More Fragmented, Suggesting a Conserved Mechanism for Loss of Consciousness Across 700 Million Years of Evolution

Study of 36 clinical trial participants found ketamine and MDMA treatments were associated with DNA methylation changes in hundreds of genes, including those linked to brain plasticity and immune regulation, suggesting possible molecular mechanisms behind their psychiatric effects.

Researchers from UQ’s Queensland Brain Institute and the Australian National University have identified a brain circuit linked to the flexible formation of memories that may help explain some of the differences in learning associated with autism spectrum disorder.

Researchers developed a noninvasive brain-computer interface that allows unresponsive ICU patients to raise and lower the frequency of a beeping tone using their brainwaves

New research reveals how a protein linked to Alzheimer’s risk can alter the way the brain’s immune cells process fat and trigger inflammatory responses, offering a possible explanation for how the strongest genetic risk factor for the disease affects the brain.
