Oct 18th 2024, 13:12

A species of tropical butterfly with unusually expanded brain structures display a fascinating mosaic pattern of neural expansion linked to a cognitive innovation.

Oct 17th 2024, 19:46

Symptoms and disease progression of Rett syndrome are different in females than males. A new study shows why it is important to understand these differences to develop better treatments.

Oct 17th 2024, 19:46

The more men are concerned about appearing masculine, the less likely they will forgive a co-worker for a transgression such as missing an important meeting, a study has found. What's more, such men are also more likely seek revenge or avoid the transgressor, which contributes to an unhealthy and less effective work environment.

Oct 17th 2024, 17:30

How do complex mixtures of chemicals affect our health? New research has shown that chemicals that occur in complex mixtures and in concentration ratios as found in humans act together. Even if the concentrations of the individual substances were each below the effect threshold, the chemicals in the mixture showed a cumulative neurotoxic effect.

Oct 17th 2024, 13:21

Researchers are identifying behavioral, environmental and neural factors through which genetic risk for mental health problems is expressed in youth.

Oct 17th 2024, 13:21

A group of scientists say it's time to think differently about how to define and treat diseases such as Alzheimer's and multiple sclerosis.

Oct 17th 2024, 13:21

A new study found a strong association between handheld cellphone use and risky driving behaviors among newly licensed teen drivers. The study used a smartphone telematics application to track the driving habits of hundreds of teens and identify potential safety risks.

Oct 17th 2024, 11:38

One of the main physical symptoms of alcohol withdrawal is 'allodynia' -- increased sensitivity to mechanical stimuli that are normally innocuous, which is a clinical sign of chronic pain. In a new animal study scientists show that the duration of this heightened sensitivity depends on the amount of alcohol an individual chronically imbibes.

Oct 17th 2024, 11:38

A new device consists of four flexible petals equipped with platinum electrodes, which curl around the spheroid when exposed to the liquid that supports the cell structure. This actuation is driven by the swelling of a soft hydrogel, making the device both gentle on the tissue and easy to use. Designed to be compatible with existing electrophysiological systems, the e-Flower offers a plug-and-play solution for researchers, avoiding the need for complex external actuators or harmful solvents. Once the technology is applied to organoids, the ability to record electrical activity from all sides will provide a much more comprehensive understanding of brain processes. Researchers hope this will lead to new insights into neurodevelopment, brain injury recovery, and neurological diseases.

Oct 17th 2024, 11:35

The discovery of a gut-to-brain regulation pathway in flies calls for additional consideration on how certain medications, especially GLP-1 agonists, can be used to treat obesity and diabetes in humans.

Oct 17th 2024, 11:35

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 alteplase, according to a meta-analysis. Researchers found that the likelihood of good recovery was similar between the two treatments.

Oct 17th 2024, 11:32

In a study of commonly used treatments for multiple sclerosis, both medical and behavioral interventions, and a combination of the two, resulted in significant improvements in fatigue. Researchers say the findings could shape treatment approaches to one of the most challenging symptoms experienced by people with multiple sclerosis.
