Current reporting, research and professional developments across Neuropsychology, curated for psychologists and behavioral-health professionals.
Summary: Researchers analyzed a massive national dataset tracking over 8,900 mother-infant pairs. The rigorous statistical analysis unmasked zero evidence that taking acetaminophen during pregnancy adversely impacts how…
Discover five neuroscience-backed tactics to strengthen Q4 revenue sprints by improving buyer engagement, decision-making, sales performance, and conversion strategies for sustainable business growth.
A study of 225 newborns suggests prenatal estrogen may have played a role in the evolution of larger human brains. Boys with finger-length patterns linked to higher estrogen exposure before birth tended to have larger…
Neurorehabilitative and regenerative methods involved in treating traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries, volume II Behind each article we publish stands a team of superheroes: authors, editors, and reviewers who chose…
A drug originally developed for spinal cord injury may offer a fresh approach to treating Alzheimer’s disease. In mouse studies, KCL-286 repaired dangerous DNA damage, reduced inflammation, and targeted multiple…
A new experimental treatment may have found a way to outsmart glioblastoma’s toughest defense: the blood-brain barrier. Researchers used sugar-coated nanoparticles to ferry genetic instructions that restore a key…
IntroductionIn addition to the language impairments experienced by people with aphasia (PWA), such as lexical access deficits, aphasia is often also accompanied by impaired attention, working memory, and verbal…
Cognitive neuroscience has accumulated robust findings (e.g., order effects in judgment, multi-path motor preparation, perceptual binding, attentional selection, and the recursive construction of self and time) that…
Binge eating disorder (BED) and cocaine use disorder (CUD) are two major public health concerns characterized by impaired control over consumption and significant impacts on physical and mental health. BED, the most…
Summary: Findings revealed a profound therapeutic benefit: GLP-1 receptor agonists (such as semaglutide, tirzepatide, and liraglutide) do not merely drive physical weight reduction. Instead, they actively downregulate…
Summary: Researchers unmasked a profound breakdown in the body’s internal garbage clearance system. As we age, tissue-resident macrophages lose their ability to engulf and dispose of expiring white blood cells…
Summary: Utilizing sophisticated, non-linear mathematical modeling to evaluate a cohort of over 2,400 older adults, the investigators unmasked a distinct, curving biological relationship: regularly sleeping 8.5 hours or…
AbbVie ABBV is scheduled to report second-quarter 2026 results on July 31, before the opening bell. While investor focus will primarily remain on the continued strength of the company’s blockbuster ...
Can your brain function without food for 18 days? Discover what psychology says about prolonged fasting, mental health, focus, mood and cognitive changes.
BackgroundHuntington’s disease is a rare neurodegenerative movement disorder characterized by early disruption of frontostriatal systems, affecting motor, cognitive, and affective domains. Non-invasive brain stimulation…
BackgroundMany patients with IDH-mutated gliomas struggle with cognitive dysfunction and mental fatigue at long-term follow-up. Here, we investigate the relationship between functional network re-organization and…
BackgroundInsomnia is a prevalent and burdensome condition in primary care, associated with impaired functioning, increased health risks, and suffering. Infra-slow neurofeedback (ISF-NF) has been proposed as an…
The visual word form area (VWFA) has been proposed to function as a multiplex hub integrating both attentional and linguistic processing, yet how its functionally distinct subregions dynamically reconfigure their network…
Summary: Researchers engineered the first sensory-guided joint learning framework for noninvasive BCIs. By creating a unified, two-way loop that aligns the human brain’s trial-and-error learning with the machine’s…
Summary: A new study establishes the long-term prognostic power of the blood-based biomarker p-tau217. The analysis reveals that asymptomatic individuals presenting with very high baseline p-tau217 concentrations face an…
Summary: A joint research initiative has introduced Centered Daydreaming. By combining simultaneous daytime learning and nocturnal pruning, and shifting the network’s focus to local sequence deviations rather than…
Researchers have discovered that a microscopic skeleton inside neurons does much more than hold cells together. It acts as a gatekeeper that controls what brain cells absorb and when they absorb it. When this protective…
"The 2026 Klerman and Freedman Prize honorees are advancing some of the most promising frontiers in brain and behavior research, from mood and sleep circuitry and scalable psychotherapies to the neural mechanisms…
Learn why preventive healthcare remains important after an early-stage Alzheimer’s diagnosis, which care should continue, and how to make informed health decisions.
Soin Neuroscience announced today that it sold intellectual property related to spinal cord stimulation (SCS) to Biotronik Neuro.
Background POEMS syndrome is a rare, life-threatening multisystem disease driven by clonal plasma cell proliferation and characterised by disabling neuropathy, a monoclonal plasma cell disorder and diagnostic…
Background Small fibre neuropathy (SFN) affects small myelinated A- and unmyelinated C-fibres and causes neuropathic pain and autonomic symptoms. Earlier Dutch estimates, over a decade old, reported a minimum prevalence…
Background Differences in brain atrophy rates between patients with aquaporin-4 IgG-positive neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (AQP4Ab+NMOSD) and healthy controls (HCs), as well as the impact of biologic agents…
Background Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major public health concern with significant morbidity and mortality. Mental health disorders (MHDs) are known to arise after TBI. Conversely, we assessed the relationship…
Background Functional movement disorder (FMD) is a common cause of debilitating symptoms in neurology patients. Due to the stigma that is associated with FMD, it is possible that discrepancies between patient and…
