A Brain Implant in Korea Was Just Controlled From The US

When tasked with working together, pairs of apparently identical mice spontaneously divide into leaders and followers—and then stick to the same roles over multiple rounds of the experiment.

Human brain cells transplanted into mice in ‘most extensive’ integration ever

New candidate to treat progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) reports positive phase2a results and warrants future clinical trials

Brain scans suggest menopause may temporarily alter the brain's normal aging process, with researchers observing changes in brain structure, connectivity, and energy use that appear to stabilize after the transition.

Brain scans of 9/11 responders may have found a trait associated with resilience

Scientists identify brain’s brake that shuts off chronic pain

Regular coffee beats decaf in protecting the brain from chronic stress, mouse study finds

Scientists implanted lab-grown human brain tissue into mice and found the neurons survived, integrated with the animals' brain circuits, and responded to sensory signals, providing a new model for studying human neurological disorders.

Autistic language abilities are vastly more complex than “verbal” or “nonverbal”

Every Breath You Take Has a Unique Impact on the Brain. The brain does not simply respond to breathing as a steady rhythm

Family identity is represented within vocal categories by the gerbil auditory cortex

The neuroscience of pity: how attractiveness and morality shape empathy

Infants exposed to higher levels of DEHP before birth (a common plastic additive in vinyl furniture upholstery, garden hoses, shower curtains, medical tubing, and vegan leathers) went on to show more autism- and ADHD-related symptoms at ages two and four…

How tiny balls of human brain tissue are revealing the causes of childhood epilepsy — and possible treatments

Bleeding Gums Linked to 61% Higher Alzheimer's Risk in 10-Year Study: In a long-term study in Japan, bleeding and receding gums were linked to substantially higher risk of dementia

Scientists Say a Key Trigger for Alzheimer's Damage Isn't Even in the Brain

U of A Researchers Led by Dr. Satyabrata Kar Uncover Breakthrough Approach to Treating Alzheimer's Disease

Why slow breathing calms us down: A new study maps the specific brain circuit that translates nasal airflow into anti-anxiety signals. (PNAS)

The Brain’s Immune Cells Keep Pain, Insomnia, and Depression Feeding Each Other: Chronic pain, broken sleep, and depression share one biological circuit, so each can start and sustain the others.

Psilocybin restores spatial memory but not fronto-hippocampal synchrony in a rat model of Alzheimer’s disease

Gut bacteria linked to key brain chemicals in first-of-its-kind human study

A blood biomarker may signal memory vulnerability years before cognitive changes occur

Anticonvulsant effects, safety, and sex-dependent molecular signatures of cannabidiol treatment in a preclinical model of audiogenic epilepsy

The diabetes and weight-loss drug semaglutide was found to calm brain inflammation and accelerate cellular recovery in mice, suggesting it could potentially protect against cognitive decline and neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer's disease

Preclinical study identifies TAB2 as a key regulator of microglial neuroinflammation in Parkinson's disease models

A new study shows that people who are deaf from an early age experience a rewiring of their brain's visual pathways, dedicating more resources to peripheral vision to help detect hazards, though this slightly reduces their focus in central vision.

Prenatal cannabis exposure was associated with alterations in large-scale functional brain network connectivity in late childhood, higher levels of psychopathology and significant differences across multiple cognitive domains, according to a study on 10,838 children (9-10 years)

New neuroscience research suggests that age-related memory decline may stem less from forgetting and more from the brain storing memories with less precision, causing details to become increasingly blurred over time.

A new study indicates that while puberty and pregnancy lead to similar structural remodeling in the female brain through reductions in gray matter, the menopausal transition presents a unique pattern where typical age-related gray matter loss temporarily pauses.
