In a longitudinal study conducted at Vanderbilt Health, including investigators from the Vanderbilt Memory and Alzheimer's Center (VMAC), researchers found that lower cardiac output is associated with ...
Here are some of the behaviours that scientists believe will keep your head in the game ...
People exposed to less sugar in their first 1,000 days of life experienced lower risks of developing Alzheimer's disease and dementia, as well as anxiety and depression, according to a study in npj ...
The American Heart Association (AHA) and American College of Cardiology (ACC) now recommend blood pressure treatments for preventing dementia. With implementation, experts say, the recommendations may ...
Neurologist Mercè Boada explains how purpose and learning build cognitive networks and protect autonomy. Discover the insights.
The Brain Aneurysm Foundation (BAF), the leading advocacy organization supporting education, research and policy to transform the treatment of brain aneurysms, today announced the recipients of its ...
New research suggests the human brain is biologically programmed to defend body fat, making it difficult for many people to maintain weight loss even after successful dieting.
Why classic advice about dementia prevention is no longer enough If you’re already eating healthily, moving regularly, and connecting with others to safeguard your mind, you’re not alone. These ...
Feeling sleepier during the day as we get older may be more important than many people realize. A new study suggests that older women who become increasingly sleepy over time may have a much higher ...
Weight loss is not simply a test of willpower. The human brain evolved to protect body fat during times of scarcity, and it can treat a previously higher weight as the new normal, triggering stronger hunger, cravings…
Studies suggest the word “brain” can make questionable claims seem more convincing. Here’s how leaders can separate scientific evidence from scientific-sounding advice.
BackgroundAdult second language (L2) learning offers a valuable model for studying experience-dependent brain plasticity beyond early development. Neuroimaging studies have reported structural and functional changes…
IntroductionPediatric speech sound disorders (SSDs) affect many young children and are commonly assessed through auditory-perceptual judgments and IPA transcription, which are limited by listener bias, variable…
This study investigates affective responses to words in bilinguals’ native (L1) and second (L2) languages. Specifically, we examine how the extent to which concepts are related to one’s own native or second culture…
Adult painting emerges from a sophisticated multisensory integration between vision, touch, proprioception, and motor control, taking shape as a form of active Bayesian inference about the external environment. The…
Losing weight is not simply a matter of willpower. New research suggests the human brain is biologically programmed to defend body fat, making it difficult for ...
A new study uses AI voxel mapping to highlight regional brain age acceleration in Alzheimer's disease.
About 90 miles (145 kilometers) north of Phoenix, the town of Yarnell nestles atop a winding mountain road. Phoenix, a sprawling city of more than 1.6 million people, has one physician for every 2,407 people. But in…
Modern therapies have transformed care for people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Yet the disease continues to progress in a substantial proportion of patients, even in the absence of relapses. Detecting and treating this…
USC researchers have developed an approach that uses artificial intelligence to generate detailed maps that highlight differences in how distinct parts of the brain age. The new model also sheds light on how patterns of…
Admissions applications, discussion posts, grades, and activity logs are among the most common signals educators use to gauge whether students will thrive in an online program. But two new Georgia Tech studies suggest…
Orexin neurons dynamically scale with effort, proving necessary for sustained goal-directed motivation.
A new study reveals that implicit upright posture boosts strategic risk-taking rewards and feelings of pride.
A new study shows an AI model extracting hidden sleep study signals to predict heart disease, cognitive decline, and double mortality risk.
A new study reveals that during REM sleep, the brain turns its listening inward, suppressing external sounds while intensifying processing of heartbeats.
Relative pitch sequence of imagined melodies can be decoded from intracranial brain signals to reconstruct songs.
Advancing Understanding and Treatment of Acute Brain Conditions research unit marks a new milestone for the African Brain Child research group.
Scientists developed the new approach that uses AI to generate detailed maps that highlight differences in how distinct parts of the brain age.
A preventive neurologist said hearing and vision loss are associated with a higher risk of dementia and cognitive decline.
Speech begins before a word reaches the mouth. In recordings from individual brain cells, researchers found patterns that anticipated meaning, grammatical roles and sentence structure during natural ...
