May 2nd 2025, 13:39

Researchers have created a hairlike device for long-term, non-invasive monitoring of the brain's electrical activity. The lightweight and flexible electrode attaches directly to the scalp and delivers stable, high-quality electroencephalography (EEG) recordings.

May 2nd 2025, 10:29

Researchers have developed a new imaging method, D-PSCAN, which enables minimally invasive, wide-field, high-resolution imaging of the nucleus tractus solitarii (NTS) in living mice. This technique allows detailed investigation of NTS activity and offers broad potential for advancing our understanding of brain--body--mind interactions, as well as informing therapeutic strategies for psychiatric and neurological disorders.

May 2nd 2025, 10:27

New findings suggest neurons have much more functional dexterity than scientists previously realized.

May 1st 2025, 18:46

Researchers detail their discoveries about why the brain tumor glioblastoma is so aggressive. Their findings center on ZIP4, a protein that transports zinc throughout the body and sets off a cascade of events that drive tumor growth.

May 1st 2025, 12:22

Estrogens are known for their role in reproduction, but a new study reveals that neuroestrogens -- estrogens produced in the brain -- play a key role in appetite regulation. These brain-made hormones enhance the expression of a hunger-suppressing receptor in the hypothalamus and improve leptin sensitivity. The findings highlight a new biological pathway that could lead to innovative strategies for managing obesity and eating disorders.

Apr 30th 2025, 18:30

People whose biological age is higher than their chronological age may be more likely to develop dementia than people whose biological age matches or is lower than their chronological age, according to a new study. Biological age is based on biomarkers of aging such as lung function, blood pressure and cholesterol.

Apr 28th 2025, 22:06

A new study shows how a dopamine circuit between two brain regions enables mice to extinguish fear after a peril has passed.

Apr 28th 2025, 22:04

New research shows non-invasive sound wave therapy can directly target deep brain regions, significantly reducing depression, anxiety, and PTSD symptoms.
