Preclinical Study Suggests Restoring Inhibitory Neuron Plasticity May Reverse Neurodevelopmental Disorder Symptoms

From ion channel biology to clinical practice: suzetrigine as a precision analgesic

Neuroscientists have vastly underestimated brain cells’ computing power

Deep sleep brain waves during NREM offer protection against Alzheimer’s disease, suggesting that sleep quality may help counteract the cognitive risks associated with elevated levels of the neurotransmitter orexin

Psilocybin Might Make Your Brain Live in the Moment— Psychedelics are often associated with disconnecting from reality, but a recent neuroimaging study found psilocybin can actually make our brain activity more attuned to the world around us.

GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic may help clear Alzheimer’s disease plaques, new systematic review suggests

When we misread autistic people, it may not be a lack of empathy—it may be a mismatch

Neuroscientists map how early-life scent memories evolve and move through the brain

Moroccan Scientist Allal Boutajangout and NYU Team Expand Alzheimer’s Research

Childhood trauma may change the way the brain develops, leading to greater apathy and less enjoyment later in life, according to research.

Brain scans reveal widespread structural and functional changes in patients following COVID-19 infection

Either a workout or nap can help your sleep-deprived brain: People who either completed 20 minutes of moderate-to-vigorous exercise or took a 90-minute nap performed about 22% better on memory tests after 30 hours without sleep than those who did neither.

Frontiers | Transient entanglement in minimal open XXZ spin chains: a toy-model analogy for microtubule-inspired quantum biology

Researchers have shed new light on how the human brain coordinates working memory: high-frequency brain waves, known as ripples, may help distant brain regions synchronize with one another during working memory tasks

Autism diagnoses rose sharply after the COVID-19 pandemic began. The rise was driven overwhelmingly by diagnoses among girls and women

Harvard researchers have developed a model that makes it possible to study the brain at previously inaccessible stages of development, opening the door to more advanced research into neurological diseases and potential treatments

Surprise triggers pupil dilation and brain-wave changes that signal the brain’s transition into a new mode, instantly changing how a person perceives and learns from what is happening around them

Depression is linked to a smaller volume in a memory-related hippocampal region, according to brain scans of 2,009 cognitively healthy adults aged 50–90, independent of body mass index, physical activity, and several major biological indicators of Alzheimer's disease risk.

Researchers found a "genetic switch" that triggers neurodegeneration in both a rare childhood dementia and Alzheimer's disease due to waste build-up in microglia

Unexpected structure detected in the brains of humans and mice with Alzheimer’s disease - scientists pinpointed an entirely new pathological basis for the disease: an accumulation of mitochondrial plaques, due to the brain's inability to recycle its failing mitochondria.

Psilocybin-assisted therapy shows promise for veterans with severe, treatment-resistant PTSD

Persistent money struggles linked to faster brain ageing

One of the oldest psychedelics has almost never been studied with modern imaging because of its Schedule 1 status

Short-video viewing temporarily shuts down cognitive control networks, brain imaging study finds

University of Queensland (UQ) researchers have identified how nerve cells stay connected to the surrounding skin

Learning a new skill triggers both temporary cell swelling and lasting structural growth in the human brain

Scientists tame seizures and heal injured brains with gut chemical

In recent years, there has been growing interest among adults with ADHD in the practice of microdosing classic psychedelics such as psilocybin and LSD

Regularly sleeping long hours each night is associated with higher levels of an Alzheimer's-related protein in the blood, even after accounting for other health factors

People suffering from long COVID show a measurable reduction in the brain’s dopamine-releasing neurons
