Early cognitive decline may result from a shift in the ratio of a protein sub-type in our brain cells triggering cell-loss.
Using a ‘shame lens’ can transform interactions between professionals and those they work with, according to a new study
New research based on data from 18 countries concludes that adults with better mental health are more likely to report having spent time playing in and around coastal and inland waters, such as rivers and lakes (also known collectively as blue spaces) as children.
UC San Diego scientists develop new eye-tracking test that accurately identifies toddlers with a subtype of autism spectrum disorder
A recent study found that racial stressors likely cause the brains of Black Americans age faster.
A link between depression and changes in counts of several types of immune cells in the blood has been revealed by researchers at the University of Bristol's MRC Integrative Epidemiology Unit.
Aremote fear memory is a memory of traumatic events that occurred in the distant past — a few months to decades ago. A University of California, Riverside, mouse study published in Nature Neuroscience has now spelled out the fundamental mechanisms by which the brain consolidates remote fear memories.
A decrease in tropical forest biomass stemming from changes in climate may lead to increased carbon emissions that could accelerate global warming, according to a new study co-authored by YSE postdoctoral associate Maria del Rosario Uribe and Paulo Brando, associate professor of ecosystem carbon capture.
A European Task Force involving the University of Exeter has created an evidence-based road map for Brain Health Services, new services designed to support people in keeping their brains healthy and reducing their risk of developing dementia.
Many fears develop during childhood. And the scientific literature is quite clear: learning to fear through observation is common especially in children who take their parents as models and learn to fear a stimulus without being directly exposed to an aversive situation.
In Fragile X syndrome (FXS), the most common cause of autism, sensory signals from the outside world are integrated differently, causing them to be underrepresented by cortical pyramidal neurons in the brain.
Antidepressant use may combine with inflammation during pregnancy to heighten the risk of lifelong neurodevelopmental changes in babies’ brains, such as those linked to autism, new research from the University of Virginia School of Medicine suggests.
Epigenetics study finds that children born during the historic recession have markers of accelerated ageing later in life.
The brains of Black adults in the U.S. age more quickly than those of white and Hispanic adults, showing features linked to Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias as early as mid-life, according to a new study.
A scalpel-free, high-tech form of brain surgery pioneered at UVA Health offers long-term relief for patients with essential tremor, a common movement disorder, a five-year review shows.
Senior women were less likely to develop mild cognitive impairment or dementia if they did more daily walking and moderate-to-vigorous physical activity.
If you have ever let your mind “wander”, you have relied on the brain’s default mode network (DMN).
Children with persistent speech disorder have greater difficulty than their peers in making friends and maintaining relationships, according to new research.
Researchers advanced the age of human neurons beyond what was previously possible
UC San Diego scientists found that persons exposed to the deadly Camp Fire in 2018 displayed altered cognitive function months later; it’s new evidence of a growing phenomenon known as “climate trauma”
