Nov 14th 2024, 16:12

Adults exhibit a general tendency to make better decisions than adolescents, and this improvement drives an increase in specific and more sophisticated choice behaviors, according to a new study.

Nov 14th 2024, 16:10

New research suggests that it could be possible to separate treatment from hallucinations when developing new drugs based on psychedelics. The anti-anxiety andhallucination-inducing qualities of psychedelic drugs work through different neural circuits, according to research using a mouse model.

Nov 14th 2024, 12:58

New research highlights middle age as a pivotal period for brain health, with significant changes in how cells remove damaged mitochondria. Defects in this recycling process have been linked to neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease, but until recently it was very challenging to study this process in the aging mammalian brain.

Nov 13th 2024, 19:27

A new study by medicine safety experts found the use of gabapentinoids -- medicines widely used to treat neuropathic pain -- increased the risk of hip fractures, especially in older patients who were frail or had kidney disease.

Nov 13th 2024, 16:10

Researchers have developed a simple model system that can be used to break down fibrils -- the cause of numerous disorders including Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease -- into their constituent single units or liquid droplets.

Nov 13th 2024, 16:08

In a new study, feelings of distress and reduced ability to cope with stress were associated with traditional paranormal beliefs, but not with new age philosophy.

Nov 13th 2024, 16:08

People with conditions or habits such as high blood pressure, an irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation, or smoking, not only have a higher risk of stroke, they may also have more severe strokes than people without these risk factors.

Nov 13th 2024, 12:38

New findings uncover an alarming rise in depression rates among all higher education students in the United States, but especially among sexual and gender minorities.

Nov 13th 2024, 12:37

An exploratory study has examined metabolomic patterns associated with psychotic-like experiences in adolescents, highlighting the influence of cannabis use.

Nov 13th 2024, 12:34

Researchers have identified a new target to treat atherosclerosis, a condition where plaque clogs arteries and causes major cardiac issues, including stroke and heart attack.

Nov 13th 2024, 12:31

Could social bonds be the key to human big brains? A study of the fossil teeth of early Homo from Georgia dating back 1.77 million years reveals a prolonged childhood despite a small brain and an adulthood comparable to that of the great apes. This discovery suggests that an extended childhood, combined with cultural transmission in three-generation social groups, may have triggered the evolution of a large brain like that of modern humans, rather than the reverse.
