Caregivers experience decline in well-being

New research, based on data from more than 28,000 caregivers in three countries, shows that the longer individuals spend caring for loved ones, the more their well-being suffers, regardless of the caregiving context. These findings underscore the need …

Brain stimulation effectiveness tied to learning ability, not age

A study reveals that the effectiveness of brain stimulation on motor skills is determined by an individual’s learning ability rather than age, highlighting the need for a more personalized approach to neurorehabilitation.

Brains grew faster as humans evolved

Brain size increased gradually within each ancient human species rather than through sudden leaps between species.

New research points way to more reliable brain studies

A new study identifies research strategies for tying brain function and structure to behavior and health.

Long COVID brain fog linked to lung function

In patients with long COVID, lower pulmonary gas exchange may be associated with impaired cognitive function, according to a new study.

Concussions slow brain activity of high school football players

A new study of high school football players found that concussions affect an often-overlooked but important brain signal.

New approach to epilepsy treatment combines genetics and brain mapping

Researchers have developed a new method called MoPEDE, which has the potential to improve epilepsy treatment. The method combines brain measurements with genetic analyses, offering deeper insights into the origins and mechanisms of epileptic seizures.

Potential new biomarker for psychosis diagnosis

The current standard of care for psychosis is a diagnostic interview, but what if it could be diagnosed before the first symptom emerged? Researchers are pointing toward a potential biomarker in the brain that could lead to more timely interventions an…
