Current reporting, research and professional developments across Neuropsychology, curated for psychologists and behavioral-health professionals.
Background Functional seizures (FS) and functional motor symptoms (FMS), subtypes of functional neurological disorder, may involve shared and distinct predisposing, precipitating, perpetuating and triggering (PPPT)…
The classification and management of central nervous system (CNS) tumours have undergone substantial transformation over the past two decades, with the recognition of an expanding set of molecularly defined disease…
Background Autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHSCT) represents a treatment option for highly aggressive multiple sclerosis (MS). Here, we report outcome analyses from the two largest German centres…
Background Despite the impact of depression in multiple sclerosis (MS), the neurobiological mechanisms underlying its pathogenesis are still poorly understood. Disrupted functional connectivity (FC) within the reward…
Background Metformin demonstrates antiepileptogenic (primary prevention) and antiseizure (symptom control) properties in animal models of epilepsy. It is unclear whether these effects translate to humans, particularly…
Background Regulatory authorities have raised concerns about potential teratogenic and neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) risks associated with paternal valproate use during spermatogenesis, leading to restrictions. We…
In a population-based cohort study by Razaz et al,1 risks of neurodevelopmental disorders in 2051 children of fathers taking valproate monotherapy during spermatogenesis were no different to those taking levetiracetam or…
Why do some children with autism communicate more easily than others, even when they hear the same words? Researchers from the University of Virginia believe the answer may lie in the brain's ...
Feeling nervous before stepping onto a stage doesn't mean you're incapable, it often means your brain cares about performing well. Psychology says people who have stage fright are often responding to ...
IntroductionCommunication is a fundamental human right and should not be constrained by disability; advances in modern technology are reshaping how communication is conceived and delivered, creating new possibilities for…
IntroductionCognitive reserve (CR) has been proposed as a key factor explaining inter-individual variability in cognitive performance despite comparable neuropathology. However, its role across the Alzheimer’s disease…
IntroductionMusic-based interventions (MBIs) are widely used in dementia care, but objective methods for characterizing participant responses during intervention sessions remain limited. Synchronized datasets combining…
IntroductionAcquired hypothalamic obesity (HO), caused by hypothalamic injury, is characterized by hyperphagia (i.e., insatiable hunger and abnormal food-seeking behaviors), reduced energy expenditure, and accelerated…
Mice have been shown to learn from each other through social interactions. However, the extent and strategies of social learning in mice remain largely unknown, beyond spatially and temporally limited tests of social…
Summary: Researchers developed and trained a novel deep learning model named BINND (Binding and Interaction Neural Network for DNA). Powered by an unprecedented dataset of 144 million sequence pairs, BINND predicts…
Corner seats offer a psychological balance of awareness and protection. Prospect-refuge theory explains this preference for observing surroundings while feeling safe. People naturally manage invisible ...
The higher you climb, the more like a fraud you feel. The neuroscience of imposter syndrome shows why your self-estimate froze early, and how to finally recalibrate it.
Summary: A new study demonstrates that a specialized oral THC/CBD medical oil formulation significantly and rapidly reduces end-of-life agitation in late-stage dementia patients. Tracking 120 hospice-eligible…
Summary: A new study combines rodent circuitry mapping with ultra-high-field 7T human fMRI to investigate periaqueductal gray (PAG) regulation. By identifying the upstream brain regions that govern this core midbrain…
Summary: A new study utilizes Koopman operator learning to prove that certain complex, chaotic systems have fundamental predictability limits that cannot be overcome by infinite training data. By designing adversarial…
Summary: Researchers analyzed resting-state functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) scans from over 1,300 adults. The team discovered that while poor sleep in college-age adults triggers overconnectivity in physical…
Summary: A new study utilized specialized Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging to measure synaptic connections in the living human brain. Evaluating one of the largest clinical cohorts of its kind to date, the…
SAN FRANCISCO, CA, UNITED STATES, July 14, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Astro Health Inc., a digital health artificial ...
BackgroundAutism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is increasingly recognized as a disorder of neural connectivity and network architecture. While EEG neurofeedback (NFB) has shown clinical efficacy in ameliorating ASD symptoms…
Playing a mental speed-training game seems to help the brain clear a protein linked to Alzheimer’s disease in men, but may work in women through different mechanisms ...
Summary: Researchers analyzed longitudinal data from thousands of preteen girls. They discovered that testosterone, a hormone traditionally associated primarily with male development, plays a dominant, previously…
Summary: Announced at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference in London, the Consortium for Biomedical Research and Artificial Intelligence in Neurodegeneration (C-BRAIN) has officially launched three…
Exploring the impact of music interventions on brain function, behavior, and health: Volume II Behind each article we publish stands a team of superheroes: authors, editors, and reviewers who chose to uphold quality…
A new study finds surprising parallels between Freud’s theories of the mind and modern neuroscience, suggesting the brain may work as a prediction machine.
Psychology professors at Drexel University, led by Eric Zillmer, PsyD, shared the neuroscience behind elite soccer players’ success at the World Cup.
