Aug 22nd 2024, 12:59

One hundred years after the human brain's electrical activity was first recorded, experts are celebrating the legacy of its discovery and sharing their predictions and priorities for its future. A survey saw respondents -- with 6,685 years of collective experience -- presented with possible future developments for EEG, ranging from those deemed 'critical to progress' to the 'highly improbable,' and asked to estimate how long it might be before they were achieved.

Aug 22nd 2024, 12:59

Parental bed-sharing is unlikely to impact children's psychological development, new research has found. The study looked at nearly 17,000 British babies and tracked them for 11 years -- finding kids who shared beds were happy and healthy.

Aug 22nd 2024, 12:59

When a person has chronic diabetes complications -- such as heart attack, stroke and nerve damage - they are more likely to have a mental health disorder, and vice versa, according to a study. Researchers say the findings highlight a need for clinicians to actively screen for mental health disorders in patients with diabetes in addition to screening for chronic complications, which is the recommended standard of care in diabetes.

Aug 22nd 2024, 12:59

Artificial intelligence (AI) can help identify molecules that could serve as new drugs for mental health disorders. AI can be used to predict the three-dimensional structures of important receptors and thereby speed up the development of potential drugs.

Aug 19th 2024, 13:07

Cognitive impairment is one of the burdens for patients suffering from chronic kidney disease. Studies show that a kidney transplant can reverse cognitive impairment -- indicating that this disorder can be treated. However, the exact mechanisms that lead to cognitive impairment are largely unclear. A new study provides important findings from basic research that could be used to develop therapeutic approaches for chronic kidney disease.
