Parental Holocaust trauma linked to double the risk of schizophrenia in offspring

LSD could improve motor learning the next day in healthy people

A major international study led by The University of Queensland and University of Michigan has uncovered a surprising mechanism that increases the risk of certain genetic diseases, offering new insights into how some mutations arise

Greater consumption of ultra-processed foods in early childhood is associated with lower volumes of several brain regions by age 6, according to new research

Heat Exposure During Pregnancy and Infancy May Influence Children’s Brain Development

Sugar-coated nanoparticles cross the blood-brain barrier and shrink glioblastoma tumors in mice

Wealth and air pollution emerge as top predictors of US state autism rates

EEG shows brain can simultaneous encode two speech streams

Dendritic morphology and synaptic nonlinearities enhance functional complexity in human cortical neurons

The stomach helps the brain form memories: signals traveling from the gut through the vagus nerve can also help to form memories, with high-fat and high-sugar foods triggering the strongest memory-related brain activity in rats, but chronic exposure to these items worsens memory formation over time

Adults who learn new languages fastest show stronger activity in the brain's dorsal attention and frontoparietal networks

New research reveals that year-to-year increases in problematic social media use (PSMU) are directly linked to rising attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms…

Nearly half of dementia cases could be prevented by tackling modifiable risk factors such as physical inactivity, smoking, low education or social isolation, but new research suggests current public health approaches are falling short of driving real behaviour change.

Research has found children born during the first COVID-19 lockdown in England had lower reported levels of executive function - crucial skills involved in making plans…

How different types of exercise impact mood and brain chemistry

EEG study found the autistic brain is characterized by higher levels of background electrical activity, often described as neural noise, which corresponds with greater difficulties in real-world communication among children with autism spectrum disorder.

The brains of blind people reorganize themselves: High-Resolution MRI Technology Reveals Brain Structure in Blind People

Brain autopsy reveals Alzheimer’s drug only clears some brain regions

Just like other teens, many teens on the autism spectrum hope for new friends, maybe even a romantic relationship

Quotation marks change how the brain processes political language

Brain scans of 5,832 adolescents (8-11 years) found stronger amygdala responses to emotional faces predicted different social outcomes two years later: increased amygdala activity for girls predicted more involvement with their peers…

Neuroscientists shed light on the illusion of learning from short videos

Different forms of intelligence show unique genetic links to psychiatric conditions

A study of 30,000 middle-aged and older adults found that larger tissue volume in six key brain regions, along with higher education, strongly predicts better working memory performance

Researchers from UQ’s Queensland Brain Institute have helped uncover a new clue about how the skin detects harmless warmth and cool

Phased pruning in neural networks recapitulates selectivity–fragility trade-offs in brain development

A research team at UQ’s Queensland Brain Institute (QBI) have highlighted how acetylcholine signalling interacts with dopamine pathways in the brain, findings that may help explain how a new class of schizophrenia treatments works, offering an alternative to traditional antipsychotics

Emerging evidence links tire pollution to Alzheimer’s risk: A chemical called 6PPD-quinone (6PPD-Q), which forms when shaved-off tire particles come into contact with ozone, might interfere with inner workings of the brain cells…
