Current reporting, research and professional developments across Neuropsychology, curated for psychologists and behavioral-health professionals.
Parentâoffspring interactions play an important role in offspring survival. Although there is evidence that these interactions are predominantly guided by the right hemisphere, little is still known about the factors…
Improving behavioral performance relies on the ability to associate decisions with their positive and negative outcomes. Although neurons that associate actions with their consequences have been identified across…
Choking under evaluative pressure is often described in sport, yet its within-session neural and behavioural correlates in youth athletes remain poorly characterised. In this exploratory, fixed-order study we asked…
Postsynaptic scaffolding protein SAP90/PSD95-associated protein 3 (SAPAP3) modulates cortico-striatal signalling and regulates the maintenance of synaptic structure. Notably, SAPAP3 defects have been reported in several…
MRI foundation models (FMs) have shown potential for improving performance of neuroimaging tasks, but their value specifically in Glioblastoma overall survival risk prediction remains unclear. In this study, we explored…
Acute noise exposure induces hearing threshold shifts and potentially affects the amygdala, yet the associated metabolic and vascular alterations remain unclear. This study examined the immediate and short-term effects…
Midlife habits . The choices you make during your midlife years can affect your brain health in the future. A recent study published in Neurology Open Access revealed that people ...
Peripheral blood-derived immune cells cross into the aging human brain and transform into functional microglia.
You have an important exam, interview or presentation tomorrow, but sleep simply won't come. Psychology suggests this isn't always a sign of overthinking. Anticipatory anxiety, cognitive arousal, ...
Depression in older adults is tied to volume reduction in the CA23DG hippocampal subfield, independent of Alzheimer's biomarkers.
A new study delivers the first gapless marmoset genome, mapping 76 Alzheimer's-linked genes and novel PSEN1 variants.
A new study introduces the Reproductive Resilience Hypothesis, reframing female reproductive biology as an evolutionary driver of longevity and multi-organ healthspan.
New research indicates dementia risk factors impact the brain uniquely. Common vascular risks damage brain blood vessels and white matter. Diabetes and lower BMI showed links to Alzheimer's proteins.
Hyperphosphorylated tau invades mitochondria and triggers reverse electron transport, opening a novel target for treating Alzheimer's disease and tauopathies.
A new study, published in Neurology Open Access, shows an association between three common vascular risk factors and the amount of dementia-free time people experience after age 55. The study hints that dementia is not…
The extracellular matrix undergoes rapid 24-hour remodeling cycles during learning, locking into place to protect mastered skills.
The brain's immune system has long been thought to exist independently from the rest of the body, complete with its own specialized immune cells and a blood-brain barrier that limits what can travel into the brain.
A large new NYU Langone analysis followed people for 26 years to reach the figure.
Researchers from the University of California, Davis Health and Kaiser Permanente tracked more than 800 adults aged 90 and older as part of the ongoing LifeAfter90 study and found that dementia risk ...
A protein named tau, which has been strongly implicated in the world's No. 1 cause of dementia—Alzheimer's disease—and several other neurodegenerative disorders, may spur these diseases in a way that differs greatly from…
To study complex diseases like Alzheimer's, scientists and clinicians analyze how genes change and malfunction in other species. Marmosets, a species of tiny monkey from South America, have become an important animal…
Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti, in collaboration with the International Society for Neurochemistry, has launched an initiative aimed at strengthening neuroscience research capacity and training ...
Vitamin B12 was recently linked with dementia in a new study. Doctors explain how much you should be getting, and the major signs that your levels are off.
Dementia can impact people as young as 30, although this is quite uncommon. A diagnosis for anyone under 65 is referred to as young-onset (or early-onset) dementia. Organisations such as Dementia UK ...
Healthy Minds episode examines advances in diagnosis and treatment as Dr. Jeffrey Borenstein offers guidance for communicating with people living with the disease ...
BOCA RATON, FL, UNITED STATES, August 6, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- A patient walks into Dr. Antonio Rotondo’s office ...
Diphenhydramine, the active ingredient in Benadryl and in most over-the-counter nighttime sleep aids, is one of the most familiar drugs in the medicine cabinet. It is a first-generation antihistamine, ...
Key Takeaways Healthy habits in middle age can significantly reduce dementia riskNormal blood pressure, no diabetes and no smoking lead to about 13 years longer without dementiaResearchers conclude ...
Growing older does not automatically mean losing memories. While age remains the biggest risk factor for dementia, scientists are learning that the story begins much earlier than most people imagine.A ...
Taxi and ambulance drivers are less likely than workers in almost any other job to die of Alzheimer's disease.
