A new review article outlines the genetic, neurobiological, and environmental foundations for schizophrenia.

Scientists are focusing on a previously understudied part of the brain and spinal cord — white matter. Their discoveries could lead to treatments that restore nerve activity through the targeted delivery of electromagnetic stimuli or drugs.

When two people interact, their brain activity becomes synchronized, but it was unclear until now to what extent this ‘brain-to-brain coupling’ is due to linguistic information or other factors, such as body language or tone of voice. Researchers repor…

Researchers have discovered a new correlation between neural signaling in the brain and dopamine signaling in the striatum. The human brain requires fast neural signal processing in a short period of less than a second. Dopamine is known to have the st…

Strokes lead to irreversible damage to the brain and are one of the most common causes of dependency or death. As the cellular reactions to a cerebral infarction are not yet fully understood, there is a lack of possible approaches to promote the regene…

Judging how happy you are could backfire and negatively impact life satisfaction and psychological well-being, according to new research.

A clinical trial suggests that a subset of older adults with a genetic predisposition to Alzheimer’s disease may benefit from fish oil supplements.

Researchers have discovered tumor-neuron interactions that regulate the growth of ependymoma brain tumors.

Scientists are using artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to analyze electroencephalogram (EEG) tests more quickly and precisely, enabling neurologists to find early signs of dementia among data that typically go unexamined.

Neurotransmitter levels in the brain can indicate brain health and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s. However, the protective blood-brain barrier (BBB) makes delivering fluorescent sensors that can detect these small molecules to the brain di…
