Current reporting, research and professional developments across Neuropsychology, curated for psychologists and behavioral-health professionals.
A cancer therapy that prompts the body's immune defenses against viruses and bacteria to attack tumors can make patients more vulnerable to heart attack and stroke. A possible explanation for this side effect is that the…
Children of mothers who took certain anti-seizure medications while pregnant do not have worse neurodevelopmental outcomes at age 6, according to a long-running study.
Large language models, a type of AI that analyzes text, can predict the results of proposed neuroscience studies more accurately ...
Researchers have developed a new method called MoPEDE, which has the potential to improve epilepsy treatment. The method combines brain measurements with genetic analyses, offering deeper insights into the origins and…
Healing the gut may be the key to improving long-term recovery in stroke patients, scientists have found. The latest of multiple studies highlights the potential of this novel avenue of treatment, which takes advantage…
The Division of Neuropsychology will convene a 2-day summit meeting on 21 & 22 November 2024. The event is designed to bring ...
This story was originally published in the 2024 edition of Discovery magazine, the College of Science's publication. This edition ...
The Society for Neuroscience (SfN) annual meeting continues to be a cornerstone gathering for neuroscientists globally.
This year’s annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience (SfN), Neuroscience 2024 (5–9 October; Chicago, IL, USA), as ...
Study shows how the heart and brain interact to influence sleep patterns and help with recovery.
Researchers studied what happens immediately after a stroke in the stem cell niche known as the subventricular zone, using a mouse model. This revealed a mechanism that results in fewer newborn neurons from the stem cell…
By creating personalized brain 'organoids' in the lab, scientists showed how microRNAs impact brain development, and demonstrate how one drug can reverse critical cellular signs of autism.
For people with ischemic stroke, treatment with the clot-busting drug tenecteplase is associated with a slightly higher likelihood of an excellent recovery and reduced disability three months later than the drug…
As the field evolves, neuroscience must bridge research with societal needs. The Dana Foundation is investing in education, cross ...
Metal exposure from environmental pollution is associated with increased calcium buildup in the coronary arteries at a level comparable to traditional risk factors, according to a new study. The findings support that…
A team developed a nanoparticle technology that offers an effective solution to diagnose and treat atherosclerosis, in a non-invasive manner. Atherosclerosis is the build-up of plaque in the arteries which causes their…
Medical researchers conducted the largest-ever genome-wide association study of all-cause dementia, finding substantial genetic overlap with vascular dementia.
There is a misconception that attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can be caused by eating too many sweets or bad ...
Einstein had dyslexia. Hemmingway had it, too. It can affect people their whole lives. New findings may lead to a fresh approach ...
Resting brain stem cells hardly differ from normal astrocytes, which support the nerve cells in the brain. How can almost identical cells perform such different functions? The key lies in the methylation of their genetic…
Even if the risk is small, the potential of a debilitating brain vessel rupture may be a psychological burden, finds new study.
A new study created a score to identify patients with platelet hyperreactivity and risk of related, future cardiovascular disease.
Researchers have uncovered a significant genetic connection between Alzheimer's disease (AD) and several coronary artery disease (CAD) related disorders and lipid classes, offering opportunities to improve health…
Scientists have discovered a novel pathway to wake up dormant neural stem cells, offering potential new therapies for neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism, learning disabilities, and cerebral palsy.
Researchers have identified mouse brain regions vulnerable to blood vessel degeneration, offering clues to the connection between vasculature and neurodegenerative disease.
A research team has shown that a wearable, non-invasive device can measure activity in human cervical nerves in clinical settings. The results could help medical professionals tailor treatments for inflammatory…
Neuropsychological assessment, or cognitive testing, is the gold standard tool for measuring cognitive functions (or the ...
Researchers have built the first-ever molecular atlas of the human brain vasculature at single-cell resolution, spanning from early development to adulthood and through disease stages such as brain tumors and brain…
A team of researchers has identified and located a population of stem-like cells that initiates and maintains Group 3 medulloblastoma (Gr3-MB) in the developing brain. Gr3-MB is one of the most aggressive forms of brain…
With a new microscope that's as light as a penny, researchers can now observe broad swaths of the brain in action as mice move about and interact with their environments.
