Researchers discover a Brain chemical linked to Trauma and Sadness
Researchers identified SGK1 as a key chemical connecting childhood trauma to depression and suicidal behavior. High SGK1 levels were found in the brains of suicide…
Perhaps the Cost of Human Brilliance is Autism
Researchers discovered that autism’s prevalence may be linked to human brain evolution. Specific neurons in the outer brain evolved rapidly, and autism-linked genes changed under…
What Takes Place in the Brain when you Lose Focus
Mind blanking is a common experience with a wide variety of definitions ranging from feeling “drowsy” to “a complete absence of conscious awareness.” In an…
Framework for Identifying Food Selection origins in the Brain
Human evolution has revolved around food, from identifying and foraging for it to growing and preparing it. Carnegie Mellon University researchers have identified a region…
ADHD is linked to 27 Genetic Variations, according to Researchers
ADHD research has been going on for a long time, and scientists have discovered various hereditary markers that may contribute to the development of ADHD.…
Molecular Machines
Molecular machines are artificial or natural structures made up of individual molecules or molecular components. These are a type of molecule that is typically described…
We can Learn about Brain Development from Marsupials
Marsupials, which include kangaroos, koalas, and opossums, can provide valuable insights into brain development due to their unique reproductive strategy and early stages of development.…
Alums of Neuralink who co-founded Precision Neuroscience are Developing a Brain Implant that is as Tiny as a Human Hair
Six cellular layers make up the human cerebral cortex, but at Precision Neuroscience, a group of researchers and engineers is attempting to create a machine…
Daydreaming Helps Memory Recall by Picking up Weak Memory Whispers
Daydreaming can lead to a wandering mind and decreased focus, but there’s no scientific evidence to support that it helps the brain pick up faint…
Implanted Human Brain Cells In Rats’ Brains Establish Connections With Their Hosts
Human brain cells have been inserted into the brains of rats, and researchers have shown that the new neurons will develop together with the rats…
Against All Odds, This Woman Fought Off Alzheimer’s Disease, and Research Into Her Brain Could Lead to New Treatments
One woman’s latter life was practically prewritten. Her early-onset Alzheimer’s dementia was predicted to manifest in her 40s or 50s due to various gene mutations…
