Apprentices in private, independent companies are more likely to fail their final exams, change contracts and not complete their training than apprentices who have contracts through a training agency.
Predicting an individual's risk of ischemic stroke is difficult because thrombosis embolization—the process of a blood clot detaching from the area where it formed, traveling and then sticking in another blood vessel—is…
Loud traffic noise has long been recognized as more than just a disturbance; it is a significant public health concern. Prolonged exposure to excessive traffic sounds can contribute to a range of health problems…
A new mouse study led by UCLA Health suggests that inflammation during pregnancy can trigger autism-like changes in offspring, but those brain and behavioral effects may be rapidly, though temporarily, reversible in…
The brain is a vast, densely interconnected network of neurons computing in parallel. Watching these computations unfold in real time could reveal how the brain processes sensation and guides behavior. But the electrical…
Living with a partner diagnosed with dementia may raise your own dementia risk, highlighting the importance of caregiver health, stress management, and regular medical check-ups.
Older adults whose hearts show faint signs of strain, well below the threshold for a clinical diagnosis, carry measurably higher levels of brain-injury markers linked to Alzheimer’s disease. That ...
A human biologist told Newsweek that Alzheimer's research should stop focusing on one molecule and study the wider system.
Microscopic plastic fragments are accumulating in human brain tissue at concentrations that dwarf those found in the liver or kidneys, and people who died with dementia carried the highest loads. A ...
Psychology says people who just do two or three same steps while dancing aren't always hesitant or lacking confidence. Psychology explains that repeated dance movements often come from familiarity, ...
As a new study links consumption of ultra-processed foods to higher dementia risk, here’s what you can do to protect your cognitive health ...
HAVING persistent money problems has been linked to faster brain ageing and risk of development dementia, scientists claim. According to British researchers, money troubles may impact the ...
When you may think about belly fat, they often associate it with diabetes, heart disease, or high blood pressure. However, growing evidence suggests that exces ...
Researchers found that specific brain circuits help decide which jobs bees perform as they age. When those circuits were switched off, older worker bees began caring for the queen again instead of carrying out their…
Many people assume that some memory decline is an inevitable consequence of getting older. But a select group of older adults, known as "SuperAgers," reach their 80s and 90s while retaining memory performance as good as…
Ischemic stroke (IS) prognosis is frequently compromised by secondary systemic and neuropsychiatric complications extending beyond the initial brain injury. The hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis, the primary…
IntroductionWe address two related questions in multisensory integration: What are suppressive multisensory and multimodal neurons good for, and how could neurons implement the earliest stages of weighted cue averaging…
Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming psychiatric research and clinical practice, offering new capabilities in areas such as diagnosis, risk prediction, digital phenotyping, and treatment personalization…
Researchers from Universidad Carlos III de Madrid (UC3M) and Hospital Universitario Severo Ochoa in Leganés, part of the public health network of the Comunidad de Madrid, have developed a methodology that uses artificial…
B-cell depletion therapies, in which B cells of the immune system that may drive disease activity in multiple sclerosis (MS) are temporarily removed, have contributed significantly to improved treatment for patients in…
A new study reveals that fruit flies use spatial memory, rather than simple reflexes, to track odors.
A new study presents the world's first neuromorphic chip capable of matching the operational speed of the human brain.
William Yeates, an Australian dementia advocate and international speaker, was diagnosed with younger onset Alzheimer's disease at 59. In the years since, he has taken on a series of demanding ...
B-cell depletion therapies in multiple sclerosis (MS) work in part by mobilizing protective B cells from the gut.
An analysis of more than 42,000 U.S. deaths linked to multiple sclerosis (MS) found that death rates varied by age, geography, race and ethnicity, with Black patients dying younger than white patients and high blood…
Hummingbird hawkmoths (Macroglossum stellatarum) exhibit an innate "handedness" when extending their proboscis to forage on flowers.
Dr Sudhir highlights the impact of visceral fat on brain health, linking it to reduced cognitive function, and urges proactive lifestyle changes.
A new study demonstrates that combining bee venom with standard L-DOPA/carbidopa therapy improves motor and cognitive outcomes in a mouse model of Parkinson's disease.
Researchers discovered the primary structural gateway allowing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to clear metabolic waste from the brain.
Leqembi is an Alzheimer's treatment for early disease stages that may help preserve memory, thinking abilities, and daily independence.
