Current reporting, research and professional developments across Neuropsychology, curated for psychologists and behavioral-health professionals.
Movement-related beta event-related synchronization (ERS) has been linked to motor control and learning, showing potential as a therapeutic target for those with movement deficits, such as stroke survivors. However…
Human perception of polarised light, known as Haidingerâs brushes, is linked to macular health but is typically too faint for reliable clinical use. Structured light can enhance these entoptic patterns, but the…
Early diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease (PD) is challenging due to the difficulty in identification of various early motor signs. We aimed to develop and validate a highly efficient detection model for early-stage PD…
The cerebral cortex is highly sensitive to oxygen availability and thus serves as an ideal model for studying neural adaptation to hypoxia. Here, we integrated long-read (Oxford Nanopore) and short-read (Illumina)…
Parkinsonâs disease (PD) is characterized by degeneration of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta, but the molecular events preceding neuronal loss remain unclear. Here, we combine spatial…
Artificial intelligence systems are becoming more intelligent, but at a very high cost in terms of energy consumption and training requirements. By contrast, our brains only require 20âW of energy, they learn online…
Stroke is a common disease with an extremely high disability rate. In addition to conventional training, environmental stimulation training is also an effective approach. However, its neuropsychological basis remains…
Robotic systems can enhance the amount and repeatability of physical guided motor training. Yet their real-world adoption is limited, partly due to non-intuitive trainer/therapist-trainee/patient interactions. To address…
Manual annotation of spike-wave discharges (SWDs), the electrographic hallmark of absence seizures, is labor-intensive for long-term electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring studies. While machine learning approaches show…
Drug addiction is marked by drug-biased salience attribution and prefrontal cortex (PFC) dysfunction. As drug-associated cues acquire incentive properties and underpin drug craving, seeking, and relapse, diminishing…
The network organization of the human brain dynamically reconfigures in response to changing environmental demands, an adaptive process that may be disrupted in a symptom-relevant manner across psychiatric illnesses…
The primary visual cortex (V1) encodes multidimensional representations of ongoing movements, raising the question of how these signals are organized and interact with sensory representations within the same population…
Adolescence is a period of rapid neurobiological and behavioural change, yet how brain maturation deviations relate to psychopathology remains unclear. Here, we show, using data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive…
Repeatedly processing an object leads to subsequent behavioral improvements in its identification and reductions in associated neural activity, a form of neural processing efficiency that multiple theoretical models have…
Expanding BCI technology beyond motor paralysis to psychiatric conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and OCD requires shifting from static motor cortical decoding to dynamic, multi-region network tracking.
A new study proposes a new framework for how the human brain processes information at ultra-low energy costs.
A new study reveals that non-human primates share a fundamental intuition for geometry with humans.
Summary: Researchers demonstrated that robust cooperation emerges spontaneously without requiring advanced cognition or elaborate social rules. By using evolutionary simulations and populations of artificial intelligence…
Summary: By comparing an autoimmune limbic encephalitis patient cohort against healthy control subjects using spatial memory tasks and structural neuroimaging, researchers discovered that object-location memory errors…
Internal Family Systems aims to release compassion (Self-energy) inside and out. Neuroscience describes the balanced brain, which produces Self-energy and fosters a nimble mind.
Brain urea buildup appears in 7 neurodegenerative diseases, including ALS and FTD, raising hopes for a shared treatment target.
Insights and innovations in consumer neuroscience Behind each article we publish stands a team of superheroes: authors, editors, and reviewers who chose to uphold quality standards and share knowledge openly. Read more…
A protein called SORLA may act as a powerful defense against the toxic tau tangles involved in Alzheimer’s disease. Mice with extra SORLA had less tau accumulation, less brain atrophy, and healthier connections between…
KI researcher Fredrik Ullén has been awarded the fifth Mensa Foundation Prize for his pioneering work in neuroscience, with a ...
Several popular sugar substitutes may not be as harmless as they seem. Adults who consumed the most artificial sweeteners showed substantially faster declines in memory and thinking, especially if they were under 60 or…
Discover the neuroscience behind the vagus nerve, the dive reflex, and why certain areas of the human body are highly vulnerable under stress. This educational breakdown explains the biology of pain, ...
Objective Cognitive control is essential for goal-directed behavior and is often impaired in neurological conditions. Transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS) has shown potential for cognitive enhancement, but its…
Summary: Researchers developed an AI-powered speech neuroprosthesis that decodes high-density intracortical signals into fluent, high-fidelity synthetic speech. The dual-stage deep learning pipeline leverages a phonetic…
Summary: Researchers identified the first major genetic cause of primary hyperhidrosis. By evaluating the genetic blueprints of over 180 patients, the international research team traced the disorder to explicit mutations…
Summary: Utilizing an advanced, home-grown PET radiotracer, the team mapped tau deposits in 37 PSP patients and combined this structural data with functional connectivity coordinates from 100 healthy control brains. The…
