Magnetized Neurons can be used to Treat Parkinson’s Symptoms

Magnetized Neurons can be used to Treat Parkinson’s Symptoms

Electrical deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a well-known treatment for Parkinson’s disease-related movement disorders. However, implanting electrodes in the brain is an invasive and imprecise…
Could Unusual Visual Symptoms be an indicator of Alzheimer’s?

Could Unusual Visual Symptoms be an indicator of Alzheimer’s?

While Alzheimer’s disease generally affects cognition and memory, it is rarely associated with unusual visual symptoms. Visual abnormalities or hallucinations can occur in some people…
A Novel Reason for the Death of Neurons in Alzheimer’s Disease

A Novel Reason for the Death of Neurons in Alzheimer’s Disease

The cause of neuron death in Alzheimer’s disease is poorly understood. A new study shows RNA interference may play a key role. Scientists have identified…

Deep Neural Networks show potential as Models for Human Hearing

In the broadest investigation yet of deep neural networks trained to perform auditory tasks, researchers discovered that the majority of these models develop internal representations…
Memory Study – Breathing during Sleep Influences Memory Processes

Memory Study – Breathing during Sleep Influences Memory Processes

Researchers at LMU, the Max Planck Institute for Human Development, and the University of Oxford studied how sleep impacts memory. They discovered a relationship between…
Researchers discover a Way to Avoid Cognitive impairment following Radiation

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

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)

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

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

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…
