New Model for Solving Novel Problems Uses Mental Map

How do we make decisions about a situation we have not encountered before? New work shows that we can solve abstract problems in the same way that we can find a novel route between two known ...

Having a Good Listener Improves Your Brain Health

Researchers find having someone to listen to you when you need to talk is associated with greater cognitive resilience. New study shows social interaction in adulthood can stave off cognitive decline ...

Scrap the Nap: Study Shows Short Naps Don’t Relieve Sleep Deprivation

The latest study shows that short naps are ineffective in mitigating the potentially dangerous cognitive effects of sleep ...

Do Some Diabetes Drugs Reduce the Risk of Alzheimer’s?

Experts in MS research suggest that cognitive rehabilitation is an effective approach to improving MS-related cognitive ...

How Microbes Can Exacerbate Cognitive Decline

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 ...

Brain Connectivity Can Build Better AI

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 ...

Microbes Turn Back the Clock as Research Discovers Their Potential to Reverse Aging in the Brain

Research introduces a novel approach to reverse aspects of aging-related deterioration in the brain and cognitive function via the microbes in the ...

Novel Research Identifies Gene Targets of Stress Hormones in the Brain

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 ...

Physical Activity Jolts Brain Into Action in the Event of Depression

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 ...

Trains in the Brain -- Scientists Uncover Switching System Used in Information Processing and Memory

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 ...

The Music of Silence: Imagining a Song Triggers Similar Brain Activity to Moments of Mid-Music Silence

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, ...

Motivation Depends on How the Brain Processes Fatigue

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 ...

Remember More by Taking Breaks

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 ...

Adding Color to Your Plate May Lower Risk of Cognitive Decline

A new study shows that people who eat a diet that includes at least half a serving per day of foods high in flavonoids like strawberries, oranges, peppers and apples may have a 20% lower risk of ...

Fruit Compound May Have Potential to Prevent and Treat Parkinson's Disease

Researchers say they have added to evidence that the compound farnesol, found naturally in herbs, and berries and other fruits, prevents and reverses brain damage linked to Parkinson's disease ...
