Circadian rhythm, the body’s internal clock, may affect a person’s risk of dementia

One in four older Americans with dementia prescribed risky brain-altering drugs despite safety warnings

Jellyfish sleep like humans — even though they don’t have brains

An ambitious effort to create a neurophysiological paradigm to explain near-death experiences has failed to capture many fascinating and often perplexing aspects of people’s brushes with death…

Neuroscientists find evidence meditation changes how fluid moves in the brain

Most Alzheimer’s disease cases would not arise without the contribution of just this single gene: Apoe

Primate gut microbiota induce evolutionarily salient changes in mouse neurodevelopment

Autism-related traits are associated with faster autonomic processing, as measured through pupillary light reflex (PLR) dynamics in infancy, and are also linked to epigenome-wide DNA methylation patterns

Eating refined foods for just three days can impair memory in the aging brain

New research reveals how inhibitory neurons connect with their target excitatory cells, identifying 2 molecules that enable a “handshake” leading to synapse formation

Microbes may hold the key to brain evolution

Brain displacement and nonlinear deformation following human spaceflight

Research found diets high in fiber, healthy unsaturated fats and micronutrients such as: Vitamins A and E, magnesium and potassium with better brain health and memory

A widely used pesticide, chlorpyrifos, may contribute to Parkinson’s disease

The study reveals that macrophages, key immune cells, fail to properly clear dead and drying cells after peripheral nerve injury, contributing to chronic pain development.

Depression occurs more often and earlier in seniors who go on to develop Parkinson’s disease or Lewy body dementia

Researchers discovered that a little-known region deep in the brain -the caudate nucleus- could be crucial for preserving physical strength as we age

Autism spectrum disorder and early-life stress converge on systemic hyperexcitability and stress epigenetics

Study assessed brain activity in adolescents with and without a history of depression, and how it relates to everyday emotional expression in text messages

Early life adversity may fundamentally rewire global brain dynamics

Prior research suggests meditation may slow brain aging and reduce risk of Alzheimer's disease

How Brain Neurons Separately Encode Items and Contexts for Memory

Studies show that scratching overrides itch signals and engages pain-modulating regions in the brain, creating a sense of relief and calm

ADHD risk may not be fixed at birth, but shaped by early environments: For children with parents who have elevated ADHD symptoms, a rich and supportive home environment predicted better cognitive functioning and linked to fewer ADHD symptoms in later childhood and adolescence.

Autism shows elevated brain glutamine on 7T MRS, consistent with presumably increased glutamine–glutamate cycling, indicating greater glutamate turnover and recycling demand in adults

Restoring a specific protein could rewire the brain in Down syndrome

Calcium alpha-ketoglutarate (CaAKG), a naturally occurring molecule our body produces, restores key memory functions disrupted in Alzheimer’s disease, suggests new study in mice

Tofersen, a new drug approved by the FDA for a genetic form of ALS, delays symptom progression and death and in about one-quarter of participants leads to stabilization or improvement

Using the same math employed by string theorists, network scientists discover that surface optimization governs the brain’s architecture — not length minimization.
