A group of brain cells have been found to act as a “disappointment meter”

A University of Queensland (UQ) research team has developed a novel intranasal formulation of clozapine that could transform the treatment of schizophrenia, potentially reducing the serious side effects of this medication.

Cannabis use during adolescence is associated with differences in brain regions involved in motivation and reward

Study finds that boosting dopamine in adults with early signs of Alzheimer's negatively impacted memory function contradicting the popular belief that boosting dopamine improves memory function

Study shows increasing histamine levels enhances episodic learning and memory retrieval, suggesting potential psychiatric therapy benefits under high workload conditions

Fresh concerns have been raised over long-term use of antidepressants, revealing limited benefits and higher health risks

MSK1 mediates BDNF-dependent MeCP2-S421 phosphorylation in postnatal striatal development and psychiatric-relevant behaviours

Neuropsychology researchers have discovered a rhythm in the midbrain that could serve as a bio-physiological signature for specific states of consciousness, it occurs exclusively during waking hours and REM sleep

EEG study from MIT found people who wrote essays with ChatGPT showed the weakest brain connectivity of any group, and when later asked to write unaided, their brains stayed under-engaged compared to people who never used AI.

Researchers from UQ’s Queensland Brain Institute have shown how microscopic structures in the brain’s retrosplenial cortex (RSC) helps support memory retrieval and our ability to navigate the world.

Researchers uncovered the first evidence that deep brain stimulation (DBS) can remodel white matter pathways in the brain and alter communication across large-scale neural networks, this may explain how the therapy helps patients recover from severe depression

New neuroscience research shows how slowing your breathing alters your perception of the people around you

Being anesthetized may be more than simply being “put to sleep.” It can potentially carry more similarities to being in a coma than we originally thought.

Lab-grown brain-spinal cord model shows ‘irreversible’ nerve damage may be reversed

Caffeine may cause “shallow” sleep, the body may spend eight hours in bed, but the brain may fail to fully regenerate

Researchers found that serotonin helps reduce "belief stickiness" — the tendency to get stuck on an old idea despite new contradicting evidence

The brain’s code seems to be in constant flux. Neuroscientists are baffled

A single dose of psilocybin - the active compound in magic mushrooms - reduces nerve pain for up to a month and makes a widely used painkiller work more effectively, finds a new study in mice

Complex decisions: The faster the better - When it comes to complex strategic decisions, a shorter thinking time is associated with a higher quality of decisions.

Children of 9/11 first responders are experiencing impacts to their mental health

The ketogenic diet may protect against Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and Huntington's disease by providing neurons with alternative fuel and reducing neuroinflammation — but patient adherence and long-term safety remain major barriers to clinical use
