Re “New Potential for Diagnosing Alzheimer’s Disease” (Science Times, July 21): Blood-based detection of Alzheimer’s ...
A gene involved in the brain’s overnight cleaning system may change how strongly poor sleep affects Alzheimer’s-related brain changes. The findings point toward more personalised prevention strategies ...
Researchers led by Bart De Strooper and Mark Fiers at VIB-KU Leuven in Belgium, alongside Niels Plath at Muna Therapeutics in Copenhagen, identified a major shift in how microglia, the brain’s primary ...
New research links diabetes and dementia more closely than ever, revealing how blood sugar may shape long-term brain health.
How does the brain make sense of what we see, hear and feel, and transform these separate signals into a coherent perception of the world?
The telomere protein TRF2 regulates non-telomeric G-quadruplex DNA structures in muscle stem cells to preserve cell identity, drive muscle regeneration, and slow Duchenne muscular dystrophy progression.
Researchers demonstrates that dietary protein restriction improves metabolism, elevates FGF21, and extends lifespan, challenging current high-protein dietary trends for sedentary adults.
Researchers identified mitochondrial plaques, an intracellular form of pathology that forms early in Alzheimer's disease and offers a new target for treatment.
A new study suggests reducing added sugar during a child's first two years may support better brain health and lower the risk of dementia and anxiety later.
How does the brain make sense of what we see, hear, and feel—and transform these separate signals into a coherent perception of the world?
Ketamine triggers a corticosterone-FKBP51 signaling pathway in female mice that prompts microglia to clear extracellular matrix and enhance synaptic plasticity, an immune-driven mechanism absent in males.
Heavy television viewing in middle age was linked to a troubling brain signature more than 20 years later. Television may be doing more than filling quiet hours. A long-term study suggests that people ...
Tether Evo has three new peer-reviewed papers on Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) accepted for publication at the Journal of Neural Engineering, Imaging Neuroscience, and Neural Networks. Two of the ...
Behind each article we publish stands a team of superheroes: authors, editors, and reviewers who chose to uphold quality standards and share knowledge openly. Read more about the impact your work achieves. Volume 20…
New research from the Center for BrainHealth at the University of Texas at Dallas suggests that our cognitive capacity doesn't diminish as we age like we thought.
By Richard SimaLearning a new language is good for your brain.Being able to speak and understand another tongue offers a form of mental stimulation, which ...
Researchers have uncovered a possible biological pathway connecting obesity to Alzheimer’s disease. Obesity appears to raise levels of certain fat molecules that can travel to the brain, disrupt its immune defenses, and…
Despite decades of scientific research and billions of pounds in investment, dementia still has no cure. But what about the old saying that prevention is better than cure? Is preventing dementia ...
Your brain anticipates waking by adjusting hormones and body temperature. This internal body clock, known as the circadian rhythm, regulates daily cycles. Cortisol levels rise naturally, preparing you ...
ObjectiveNormal sleep rhythms are crucial for hippocampus-dependent advanced cognitive functions. Chronic sleep deprivation (CSD) impairs hippocampal neurogenesis and structure, leading to neurocognitive deficits…
IntroductionWhile previous research has shown that single bouts of acute exercise can enhance cognitive performance, the physiological mechanisms behind this remain unclear. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS)…
IntroductionAnxiety is highly prevalent in older adults and often co-occurs with neurodegenerative disorders, worsening cognitive decline and quality of life. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) has shown…
BackgroundPrevious work has shown that endurance training is associated with structural and functional plasticity in prefrontal, hippocampal, cerebellar and network level regions using both cross sectional and…
BackgroundCognitive fatigue is among the most common and disabling long-term sequelae of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), with limited effective treatment options. We report a case of refractory post-mTBI cognitive…
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of long-term cognitive impairment, with deficits in episodic memory among the most common and disabling consequences. Although biological sex is increasingly recognized as an…
Scientists in South Korea have finally worked out how our brains flush away waste, solving a mystery that has puzzled experts for 250 years. The discovery offers real hope for future dementia ...
An international initiative establishes the first consensus framework for vocal biomarkers, creating standardized definitions to accelerate voice-based disease diagnostics.
Focused ultrasound effectively opens the blood-brain barrier in gliomas, proving that brain tumors are highly receptive to targeted, size-optimized drug delivery.
Learning relies on refining the strength of existing connections rather than building new neural pathways, pointing to a shared computational principle in human and artificial intelligence.
