Resiliency shaped by activity in the gut microbiome and brain

A new study has found that resilient people exhibit neural activity in the brain regions associated with improved cognition and regulating of emotions, and were more mindful and better at describing their feelings.

Research finds causal evidence tying cerebral small-vessel disease to Alzheimer’s, dementia

While previous studies suggested an association of the most common cerebral small-vessel disease with dementia risk, new research provides evidence of causal link, identifying it as a major vascular factor.

Unlocking the entrepreneurial brain: New perspectives on cognitive flexibility

Pioneering research highlights the importance of combining neuroscience with traditional entrepreneurial studies to gain a comprehensive understanding of what makes successful entrepreneurs distinct at a neurological level.

Removal of ovaries before menopause associated with reduced white matter in brain

Women who have their ovaries removed before menopause, particularly before the age of 40, have reduced white matter integrity in multiple regions of the brain later in life, a new study suggests. White matter refers to the nerve fibers that connect neu…

Shining light on mental health in space science community

The severity of anxiety and depressive symptoms in the planetary science community is greater than in the general U.S. population, according to a new study.

‘Time cells’ in the brain are critical for complex learning, study shows

They’re more than a simple clock, and understanding these cells’ activity could ultimately aid in early detection of neurodegenerative diseases.

New technology allows researchers to precisely, flexibly modulate brain

Researchers have developed a noninvasive technology combining a holographic acoustic device with genetic engineering that allows them to precisely target affected neurons in the brain, creating the potential to precisely modulate selected cell types in…

New study reveals urgent need for region-specific models to improve brain health in diverse settings

A pioneering study has unveiled significant heterogeneity in the risk factors affecting healthy aging in Latin America and emphasized the limitations of current models of brain health, which are primarily based on data from high-income countries.

A high-fat diet may fuel anxiety

New research shows when animals are fed a diet high in saturated fat for nine weeks, their gut bacteria change in ways that influence brain chemicals and fuel anxiety.

Breakthrough approach enables bidirectional BCI functionality

Brain-computer interfaces or BCIs hold immense potential for individuals with a wide range of neurological conditions, but the road to implementation is long and nuanced for both the invasive and noninvasive versions of the technology. Scientists have …
