Gene Clusters Help in the Longevity of Mice
Researchers have discovered several candidate genes that influence longevity. According to the researchers, the discovery of genetic loci that influence longevity only in females is…
A Fatal Neurological Disorder is linked to Cellular Housekeeping Process
According to one study, Huntington’s disease impairs autophagy, which is the process by which cells eliminate waste. This housekeeping is important in Huntington’s because a…
Opportunities for Artificial Emotional Intelligence are Highlighted in a New Study
How will artificial intelligence (AI) impact the future of the mental health industry? At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), a cutting-edge team is using…
Neuromorphic Engineering
The use of very-large-scale integration (VLSI) systems containing electronic analog circuits to mimic neuro-biological architectures found in the nervous system is known as neuromorphic engineering.…
Scientists Contend that Neurodevelopmental Problem is Obesity
Obesity has rapidly increased in recent decades to affect more than 2 billion people, making it one of the leading causes of poor health worldwide.…
A Blood Test may aid in predicting revival from Traumatic Brain Damage
Traumatic brain injuries (TBI), such as concussions, are widespread, and not just in sports. TBIs are responsible for an estimated 4.8 million emergency department visits…
The Brain’s Reaction to Unexpected Events
Researchers have found that one key role of the neuromodulator noradrenaline, produced by the locus coeruleus, is to help the brain learn from surprising outcomes.…
Researchers Discover Brain Waves linked to Social Behavior
Brainwaves are traces of neurophysiological energy in the living brain. It is invisible to the naked eye and can only be detected using electroencephalography (EEG),…
Which Activities are Associated with a Lower Risk of Dementia?
Leisure activity participation has been linked to a lower risk of dementia. It is unclear whether increased leisure activity lowers the risk of dementia or…
A New Look at Impulsivity’s Neurobiology
While not all impulsive behavior speaks of mental illness, a wide range of mental health disorders that often emerge in adolescence, including depression and substance…
Finding Immature Neurons’ Molecular Signatures in the Human Brain Over Time Offers Insights on Brain Plasticity
