Alto Neuroscience, Inc. (“Alto”) (NYSE: ANRO), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company with a mission to redefine psychiatry by leveraging neurobiology to develop personalized and highly effective ...
The escalating global prevalence of obesity and associated metabolic disorders has catalyzed intensive investigation into their multisystemic ramifications. Recent scientific investigations elucidate the sophisticated…
ObjectiveTo examine the association between early cognitive rehabilitation (E-CR) and long-term cognitive, functional, and biomarker outcomes in patients with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI).MethodsThis single-center…
IntroductionFor people with Parkinson’s disease (PD), deciding whether to pursue deep brain stimulation (DBS) has become increasingly complex. Evidence suggests current approaches to collaborative decision-making may…
IntroductionMethamphetamine use during pregnancy is a global health issue, and there is limited knowledge on the cardiovascular and behavioral effects of prenatal methamphetamine exposure in adults. This study…
Until a few years ago, scientists thought one thing was certain: an adult’s brain will not change. Today, however, we know that ...
Researchers found that tau is essential for turning new experiences into lasting memories by helping organize the brain's memory-storing cells. The mouse study also revealed how abnormal tau may contribute to Alzheimer's…
Retired British professional soccer players showed structural brain differences and high rates of anxiety and depression but no signs of cognitive decline in a study looking to establish if repetitive ...
Many people believe that Alzheimer’s disease always causes memory loss and dementia. Surprisingly, this is not always true. Some older adults have brains that contain the same harmful changes seen in ...
Yale scientists discovered two neuron surface proteins that appear to help spread the toxic protein linked to Parkinson’s disease. Blocking these proteins in mice dramatically reduced disease progression, offering a…
Explore the psychology behind expressing emotions and how saying 'I'm anxious' helps reduce anxiety by calming the brain's alarm center, according to psychological research.
Summary: Researchers unveiled a novel, cerebellum-inspired electronic chip. While most neuromorphic computing tries to recreate the thought-heavy cerebrum, this new device emulates the reflex-driven cerebellum, which…
Spontaneous recovery is regarded as an experimental analogue of relapse following successful treatment of anxiety and traumatic disorders using exposure therapy. This systematic review examines the evidence for…
This study used the sound-induced flash illusion (SIFI) paradigm to investigate how sensory congruency, audiovisual rhythm configurations, and momentary neural states jointly shape perceptual decisions by integrating…
Summary: Researchers have demonstrated that the human brain processes low-frequency infrasound using an entirely unique biological mechanism. When acoustic waves drop too low for standard auditory hair cells to register…
Cognitive dysfunction is a prevalent mental health problem following hemorrhagic shock with resuscitation (HSR). Our previous work indicated that neuroinflammation caused by nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like…
Neurofeedback Training (NFT) employs real-time feedback on brain activity to empower participants to self-regulate cognitive functions within specific brain regions. Understanding the neurophysiological correlates of NFT…
Using animal models representing isolated features of the disease, the team discovered that alcohol dramatically reduces communication in the presence of amyloid-beta, but significantly amplifies ...
The research profile of psychology at the University of Münster centers on the individual: from the biology of single ...
BackgroundRegular physical activity is a key determinant of psychological wellbeing, yet its interaction with emerging digital behavioral risks remains insufficiently understood. Compulsive internet use and nomophobia…
Decades of literature point to a critical role for prefrontal-hippocampal interactions in emotion and memory. Recent studies in both rodents and humans have revealed that these interactions are coordinated by the midline…
China has introduced a computer chip capable of executing specific brain-modelling tasks up to 478 times faster than Nvidia's A100 GPU.
Summary: Researchers tracked brain activity patterns in participants before and after they watched multiple episodes of a narrative drama. Using Representational Similarity Analysis (RSA) on functional MRI (fMRI) data…
Social behavior involves sociability—the drive to interact—and social preference—the choice of partners. Using FlySocialer, an automated system for tracking group interactions, we analyzed male Drosophila melanogaster…
Background and objective Recently, three motor phases of Parkinson’s disease (PD) have been proposed (a silent period when nigrostriatal loss begins, a prodromal motor period with subtle focal manifestations, and…
Although distinctly different phenotypes of male and female autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have been long proposed, mechanistic insights are relatively lacking. Added complexities are that human ASD neurological data has…
This study aimed to investigate whether the probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG (LGG) (alone or combined with high-intensity interval training (HIIT)) could improve cognitive, electrophysiological changes, oxidative…
Some brains appear to fight back against Alzheimer's by helping immature brain cells survive damage instead of succumbing to it. Understanding this natural resilience could point researchers toward entirely new ways to…
Jessica Rendall is a reporter with experience covering a variety of health and wellness topics, including chronic disease, infectious disease, telemedicine, mental health and health technology. Renée ...
Scientists have discovered that a common type of stroke may have a very different cause than doctors once thought. Instead of fatty plaque clogging arteries, the strongest link was found with enlarged and damaged blood…
