Current reporting, research and professional developments across Neuropsychology, curated for psychologists and behavioral-health professionals.
The network organization of the human brain dynamically reconfigures in response to changing environmental demands, an adaptive process that may be disrupted in a symptom-relevant manner across psychiatric illnesses…
The primary visual cortex (V1) encodes multidimensional representations of ongoing movements, raising the question of how these signals are organized and interact with sensory representations within the same population…
Adolescence is a period of rapid neurobiological and behavioural change, yet how brain maturation deviations relate to psychopathology remains unclear. Here, we show, using data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive…
Repeatedly processing an object leads to subsequent behavioral improvements in its identification and reductions in associated neural activity, a form of neural processing efficiency that multiple theoretical models have…
Expanding BCI technology beyond motor paralysis to psychiatric conditions like depression, anxiety, PTSD, and OCD requires shifting from static motor cortical decoding to dynamic, multi-region network tracking.
A new study proposes a new framework for how the human brain processes information at ultra-low energy costs.
A new study reveals that non-human primates share a fundamental intuition for geometry with humans.
Summary: Researchers demonstrated that robust cooperation emerges spontaneously without requiring advanced cognition or elaborate social rules. By using evolutionary simulations and populations of artificial intelligence…
Summary: By comparing an autoimmune limbic encephalitis patient cohort against healthy control subjects using spatial memory tasks and structural neuroimaging, researchers discovered that object-location memory errors…
Internal Family Systems aims to release compassion (Self-energy) inside and out. Neuroscience describes the balanced brain, which produces Self-energy and fosters a nimble mind.
Brain urea buildup appears in 7 neurodegenerative diseases, including ALS and FTD, raising hopes for a shared treatment target.
Insights and innovations in consumer neuroscience 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…
A protein called SORLA may act as a powerful defense against the toxic tau tangles involved in Alzheimer’s disease. Mice with extra SORLA had less tau accumulation, less brain atrophy, and healthier connections between…
KI researcher Fredrik Ullén has been awarded the fifth Mensa Foundation Prize for his pioneering work in neuroscience, with a ...
Several popular sugar substitutes may not be as harmless as they seem. Adults who consumed the most artificial sweeteners showed substantially faster declines in memory and thinking, especially if they were under 60 or…
Discover the neuroscience behind the vagus nerve, the dive reflex, and why certain areas of the human body are highly vulnerable under stress. This educational breakdown explains the biology of pain, ...
Objective Cognitive control is essential for goal-directed behavior and is often impaired in neurological conditions. Transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS) has shown potential for cognitive enhancement, but its…
Summary: Researchers developed an AI-powered speech neuroprosthesis that decodes high-density intracortical signals into fluent, high-fidelity synthetic speech. The dual-stage deep learning pipeline leverages a phonetic…
Summary: Researchers identified the first major genetic cause of primary hyperhidrosis. By evaluating the genetic blueprints of over 180 patients, the international research team traced the disorder to explicit mutations…
Summary: Utilizing an advanced, home-grown PET radiotracer, the team mapped tau deposits in 37 PSP patients and combined this structural data with functional connectivity coordinates from 100 healthy control brains. The…
Summary: Researchers analyzed a massive national dataset tracking over 8,900 mother-infant pairs. The rigorous statistical analysis unmasked zero evidence that taking acetaminophen during pregnancy adversely impacts how…
Discover five neuroscience-backed tactics to strengthen Q4 revenue sprints by improving buyer engagement, decision-making, sales performance, and conversion strategies for sustainable business growth.
A study of 225 newborns suggests prenatal estrogen may have played a role in the evolution of larger human brains. Boys with finger-length patterns linked to higher estrogen exposure before birth tended to have larger…
Neurorehabilitative and regenerative methods involved in treating traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries, volume II Behind each article we publish stands a team of superheroes: authors, editors, and reviewers who chose…
A drug originally developed for spinal cord injury may offer a fresh approach to treating Alzheimer’s disease. In mouse studies, KCL-286 repaired dangerous DNA damage, reduced inflammation, and targeted multiple…
A new experimental treatment may have found a way to outsmart glioblastoma’s toughest defense: the blood-brain barrier. Researchers used sugar-coated nanoparticles to ferry genetic instructions that restore a key…
IntroductionIn addition to the language impairments experienced by people with aphasia (PWA), such as lexical access deficits, aphasia is often also accompanied by impaired attention, working memory, and verbal…
Cognitive neuroscience has accumulated robust findings (e.g., order effects in judgment, multi-path motor preparation, perceptual binding, attentional selection, and the recursive construction of self and time) that…
Binge eating disorder (BED) and cocaine use disorder (CUD) are two major public health concerns characterized by impaired control over consumption and significant impacts on physical and mental health. BED, the most…
Summary: Findings revealed a profound therapeutic benefit: GLP-1 receptor agonists (such as semaglutide, tirzepatide, and liraglutide) do not merely drive physical weight reduction. Instead, they actively downregulate…
