Researchers discover a Way to Avoid Cognitive impairment following Radiation
Researchers at the University of Rochester’s Del Monte Institute for Neuroscience discovered that microglia, the brain’s immune cells, can cause cognitive abnormalities following radiation exposure…
Unconscious Cognition
Unconscious cognition refers to mental processes and actions that occur without conscious awareness or intention. It is the processing of perception, memory, learning, thought, and…
Metacognitive Therapy (MCT)
Metacognitive therapy (MCT) is a type of psychotherapy that focuses on addressing and changing maladaptive thought processes and patterns associated with metacognition, or thinking about…
Neural Tissue Engineering – a specific sub-field of tissue engineering
Neural tissue engineering is a multidisciplinary field that combines neuroscience, materials science, and engineering principles to create strategies for repairing or replacing damaged neural tissues…
How Stress Activates Neurons that Cause Sleep Disruption
Neurons in the preoptic hypothalamus, the region of the brain that regulates sleep and body temperature, are rhythmically activated during non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREM),…
Cerebral Organoid
A cerebral organoid, also known as a brain organoid, is an artificially grown, in vitro miniature organ that resembles the brain. These are three-dimensional tissue…
How Stress Triggers Neurons that cause Sleep Disruption
New research reveals that neurons in the preoptic hypothalamus – the region of the brain that regulates sleep and body temperature – are rhythmically activated…
Molecular Cellular Cognition – a branch of neuroscience
Molecular cellular cognition (MCC) is a branch of neuroscience that studies cognitive processes using approaches that integrate molecular, cellular, and behavioral mechanisms. The development of…
Early-life Stress Alters more Genes in the Brain than a Head Injury
When researchers began investigating whether early-life stress amplifies the effects of a childhood head injury on health and behavior later in life, they discovered something…
How Adults comprehend what Children are Saying
According to new research, adult listening abilities are critical to understanding children’s early linguistic efforts. When babies first start talking, their vocabulary is extremely limited.…
Cognitive Neuroscience – a scientific field
Cognitive neuroscience is the scientific study of the biological processes and aspects that underpin cognition, with a particular emphasis on the neural connections in the…
