NewsSubstance abuse inhibits cognitive flexibility
New US research underlines the relationship between substance use and significant modifications to an inhibitory brain circuit, resulting in decreased cognitive flexibility
-
NewsNew biomarker identified for major depressive disorder
Local gyrification index, which measures cortical folding in the brain, could be a novel neuroimaging marker for major depressive disorder.
-
NewsHow does the brain process and store words we hear?
US researchers studying the brain’s auditory lexicon find implications for stroke survivors and others with brain disorders.

NewsHigher levels of lean muscle may protect against Alzheimer’s disease
Individuals with higher levels of lean muscle may have a reduced risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. While further research is needed to understand the underlying biological pathways and implications for clinical practice, these findings shed light on the potential role of lean muscle in protecting brain health.

NewsExtraocular muscles may hold key to defensive mechanisms against ALS
According to Swedish study, muscle fibres found in extraocular muscles seem to be resistant and even increase in proportion in those with ALS. This offers new treatment avenues for slowing down the disease.

NewsNeurotransmitter receptor patterns can separate sensory and cognitive networks
Neurotransmitter receptor patterns define key organisational principles in the brain, UK scientists have discovered.
-
NewsA new way to visualise sensory neurons
US researchers have uncovered a novel method using a tool used to visualise ion channels in mechanosensory neurons.

NewsNovel imaging technique captures COVID-19’s impact on the brain
A form of MRI is a better alternative to many existing imaging technologies when looking at how COVID-19 can change the human brain.

NewsPredicting cerebrovascular diseases with retinal imaging
New imaging approach reveals that changes in retinal microcirculation may indicate cerebrovascular diseases that involve reduced blood flow.
-
NewsViruses can cause brain cells to fuse leading to a malfunctioning CNS
Researchers from Australia explore how viruses can alter brain cells, and thus the functions of our nervous system, leading to neurological symptoms.
-
NewsNeurons that are responsible for recognition
Researchers from South Korea uncover that neurons in the hippocampus play a crucial role in assigning positive value through interactions with others.
-
NewsNovel mutation linked to late-onset Alzheimer's disease
Chinese researchers discover a mutation, referred to as the "Shanghai APP" mutation, which has been linked to late-onset Alzheimer's disease and offers fresh insights into the disease's underlying molecular mechanisms.
-
NewsAmino Acid PET effective in distinguishing brain metastases from treatment-related changes
US study uncovers the best way to treat recurrent or progressive brain metastases using an amino acid PET technique.
-
NewsMolecular biology behind memory development in early childhood
Researchers from Canada develop a greater understanding about the molecular mechanisms for memory development in early childhood.

NewsExamining brain’s glymphatic system may shed light on brain diseases
US researchers used focused ultrasound with microbubbles to examine glymphatic system of the brain, which plays a crucial role in clearing metabolic waste from the brain.
-
NewsPotential pathway to improved stroke recovery
Japanese researchers identify a protein that reduces inflammation, stimulates neural growth, and improves sensory and motor functions following ischemic stroke in mice.
-
NewsAre tiny brain organoids legally a person?
Japanese researchers debate if human brain organoids that are cultivated from stem cells and serve as a model of human brain development, can be legally considered a person.
-
NewsStudy links nutrients, brain structure, cognition in healthy aging
US researchers found that nutrient intake, brain structure and cognitive function contribute to healthier brains in aging adults, by looking at correlating blood markers.
-
NewsRhythmic brain activity helps maintain temporary memories
US researchers have discovered that rhythmic brain activity organises the neuronal pathways that maintain short-term memories.
