Nov 26th 2024, 19:17

Scientists have shed new light on how certain biological processes determine the development of neural cells. Their findings on a molecular 'bridge' complex demonstrate a new level of detail in the understanding of early neural development -- which is fundamental for the further understanding of neurodevelopmental syndromes.

Nov 26th 2024, 14:53

There is evidence that alcohol consumption is influenced by prenatal sex steroids so experts decided to use a sample of students for their research into the subject.

Nov 26th 2024, 13:48

You may have heard sleep described as something of a magic pill for the body. With the right amount, timing, and quality, it can work wonders -- strengthen the immune system, improve blood sugar, even decrease the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Sleep differences have been reported for some time in men and women, but it is not well known whether the characteristics of sleep serve different functions in one gender over the other, especially as it relates to the heart. New research seeks answers.

Nov 25th 2024, 14:57

Research shows that reward-based learning requires the two neuromodulators to balance one another's influence -- like the accelerator and brakes on a car

Nov 25th 2024, 14:56

Research found that wildfire smoke is especially hazardous to people's memory health. An analysis of the health care records of 1.2 million Southern California residents found that higher long-term smoke exposure was associated with a significant increase in the odds that a person would be diagnosed with dementia.

Nov 25th 2024, 12:58

New research challenges views on screen time, revealing factors such as parental mental health and the type of screen being used may have some impact on child development.

Nov 25th 2024, 12:52

Researchers developed an innovative approach -- demonstrated in mouse models and isolated human brain tissue -- to safely and effectively deliver therapeutics into the brain, providing new possibilities for treating a wide range of neurological and psychiatric diseases. The study introduces a first-of-its-kind blood-brain barrier-crossing conjugate (BCC) system, designed to overcome the protective barrier that typically blocks large biomolecules from reaching the central nervous system (CNS).

Nov 25th 2024, 12:48

Depressed individuals who reflexively attempt to dampen their initial emotional responses to reminders of their negative memories have a low tolerance for distressing emotional stimuli in general and may respond to stress in their daily lives with greater upticks in suicidal thoughts. A new study examined the relationship of the engagement of emotion regulation to real-world responses to stress in order to better understand stress-related increases in suicide risk in depression.

Nov 21st 2024, 16:53

Researchers have measured the brain activity of people who had never been to a specific city and then use this brain activity to predict other people's actual visits to places around that city. This offers potential applications for urban planning and design that addresses the well-being of residents and visitors.
