Dec 6th 2024, 11:21

People who climb too fast or too high risk acute altitude sickness, which can lead to life-threatening hypoxic brain injury. By using in vivo electrochemistry, researchers demonstrated that characteristic changes occur in the oxygen content of various brain regions before injury. The risk of brain damage could be predicted days in advance -- perhaps a new approach for detecting high-altitude hypoxic injury.

Dec 6th 2024, 11:21

A new way of mapping activity and connections between different regions of the brain has revealed fresh insights into how higher order functions like language, thought and attention, are organized.

Dec 6th 2024, 11:19

Scientists report on new insights into the mechanisms of 'Niemann-Pick type C' (NPC), a rare neurodegenerative disease associated with dementia that can manifest as early as childhood. Their findings, based on studies in mice, cell cultures and patients, emphasize that neuroinflammation, which is mediated by the brain's immune system, plays a crucial role in NPC.

Dec 6th 2024, 11:19

Helping out your neighbor or minding your own business? A challenging choice with different benefits for each decision. Game theory provides guidance in making such choices -- from a theoretical perspective. Novel findings reveal new network structures that enhance cooperation throughout a system. These insights have potential applications also in biology.

Dec 5th 2024, 18:46

Scientists have developed a 'molecular GPS' to guide immune cells into the brain and kill tumors without harming healthy tissue.

Dec 5th 2024, 18:44

Researchers have found a new receptor for nerve growth factor that plays an important role in pain signaling, even though it does not signal on its own, according to a new study. The findings hold promise for finding new treatments for arthritis and other forms of inflammatory and cancer pain, without the side effects that led recent therapies to fail in clinical trials.

Dec 5th 2024, 14:31

Sleep is critical for all sorts of reasons, but a team of international scientists has discovered a new incentive for getting eight hours of sleep every night: it helps the brain to store and learn a new language.

Dec 5th 2024, 14:30

New research has found that women who have had both ovaries surgically removed before the age of 50 and carry a variant of the apolipoprotein gene, the APOE4 allele, are at high risk of late-life Alzheimer disease (AD). Use of hormone therapy mitigates this risk.

Dec 4th 2024, 11:40

Researchers have developed a three-step plan to support those burdened by the intense fear of cancer returning. This plan offers a consistent, streamlined approach to managing recurrence anxiety, empowering patients to regain confidence and move forward with their lives.
