Sep 11th 2024, 17:59

New findings could help clinicians understand the course of delusions in youth and young adults that signal the need for a timely intervention to prevent a full relapse of psychosis.

Sep 11th 2024, 17:59

Outdoor light at night could be a significant risk factor in Alzheimer's disease, according to new research from Rush.

Sep 11th 2024, 17:59

People who have had a stroke may be more likely to sleep too much or too little compared to those without prior stroke, according to a new study. The study does not prove that stroke causes abnormal sleep; it only shows an association.

Sep 11th 2024, 11:21

Researchers have for the first time identified degeneration-associated 'molecular markers' -- observable changes in cells and their gene-regulating networks -- that are shared by several forms of dementia that affect different regions of the brain. Critically, the research also identified markers specific to different forms of dementia, and the combined findings represent a potential paradigm shift in the search for causes, treatments and cures.

Sep 11th 2024, 11:21

Patients with throat problems were less able to regulate their blood pressure in a new study. The study shows reduced baroreflex sensitivity in patients with throat symptoms.

Sep 11th 2024, 11:20

Since their invention in the 1920s, jungle gyms and monkey bars have become both fixtures of playgrounds and symbols of childhood injury that anxious caretakers want removed. Anthropologists mark 100 years of the iconic playground equipment by arguing that risky play exercises a biological need passed on from apes and early humans for children to independently test and expand their physical and cognitive abilities in a context in which injury is possible but avoidable.

Sep 11th 2024, 11:20

A study found that new monoclonal antibody drugs for Alzheimer's may slow cognitive impairment through boosting levels of a specific protein in the brain.

Sep 11th 2024, 11:20

Neuroscientists have revealed how sensory input is transformed into motor action across multiple brain regions in mice. The research shows that decision-making is a global process across the brain that is coordinated by learning. The findings could aid artificial intelligence research by providing insights into how to design more distributed neural networks.

Sep 11th 2024, 11:16

With maps of the connections between neurons and artificial intelligence methods, researchers can now do what they never thought possible: predict the activity of individual neurons without making a single measurement in a living brain.
