Aug. 17, 2021 Recent research has found that changes in the gut microbiota -- the trillions of bacteria and other microbes that live in the intestines -- can alter the brain and behavior. A new study could ...
Aug. 9, 2021 By examining MRI data from a large Open Science repository, researchers reconstructed a brain connectivity pattern, and applied it to an artificial neural network (ANN). They trained the ANN to ...
Aug. 9, 2021 Research introduces a novel approach to reverse aspects of aging-related deterioration in the brain and cognitive function via the microbes in the ...
Aug. 6, 2021 Chronic stress is a well-known cause for mental health disorders. New research has moved a step forward in understanding how glucocorticoid hormones ('stress hormones') act upon the brain ...
Aug. 5, 2021 People with autism spectrum disorder interpret facial expressions differently. Researchers have revealed more about how this comes to be. They induced abnormalities into a neural network model to ...
Aug. 5, 2021 A recent study has shown that all participants achieve normalization of CNS injury biomarkers, regardless of previous disease severity or persistent neurological symptoms, indicating that ...
Aug. 4, 2021 The dual beneficial effect of physical activity in depression is confirmed by a new study: physical activity not only reduces depressive symptoms. It also increases the brain's ability to ...
Aug. 3, 2021 A team of scientists has uncovered a system in the brain used in the processing of information and in the storing of memories -- akin to how railroad switches control a train's ...
Aug. 3, 2021 Imagining a song triggers similar brain activity as moments of silence in music, according to new research. The results reveal how the brain continues responding to music, even when none is playing, ...
July 30, 2021 How do we decide whether or not an activity which requires work is 'worth the effort'? Researchers have shown that the willingness to work is not static, and depends upon the fluctuating ...
July 29, 2021 We remember things longer if we take breaks during learning, referred to as the spacing effect. Scientists gained deeper insight into the neuronal basis for this phenomenon in mice. With longer ...
