Current reporting, research and professional developments across Neuropsychology, curated for psychologists and behavioral-health professionals.
IntroductionCognitive reserve (CR) has been proposed as a key factor explaining inter-individual variability in cognitive performance despite comparable neuropathology. However, its role across the Alzheimer’s disease…
IntroductionMusic-based interventions (MBIs) are widely used in dementia care, but objective methods for characterizing participant responses during intervention sessions remain limited. Synchronized datasets combining…
IntroductionAcquired hypothalamic obesity (HO), caused by hypothalamic injury, is characterized by hyperphagia (i.e., insatiable hunger and abnormal food-seeking behaviors), reduced energy expenditure, and accelerated…
Mice have been shown to learn from each other through social interactions. However, the extent and strategies of social learning in mice remain largely unknown, beyond spatially and temporally limited tests of social…
Summary: Researchers developed and trained a novel deep learning model named BINND (Binding and Interaction Neural Network for DNA). Powered by an unprecedented dataset of 144 million sequence pairs, BINND predicts…
Corner seats offer a psychological balance of awareness and protection. Prospect-refuge theory explains this preference for observing surroundings while feeling safe. People naturally manage invisible ...
The higher you climb, the more like a fraud you feel. The neuroscience of imposter syndrome shows why your self-estimate froze early, and how to finally recalibrate it.
Summary: A new study demonstrates that a specialized oral THC/CBD medical oil formulation significantly and rapidly reduces end-of-life agitation in late-stage dementia patients. Tracking 120 hospice-eligible…
Summary: A new study combines rodent circuitry mapping with ultra-high-field 7T human fMRI to investigate periaqueductal gray (PAG) regulation. By identifying the upstream brain regions that govern this core midbrain…
Summary: A new study utilizes Koopman operator learning to prove that certain complex, chaotic systems have fundamental predictability limits that cannot be overcome by infinite training data. By designing adversarial…
Summary: Researchers analyzed resting-state functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) scans from over 1,300 adults. The team discovered that while poor sleep in college-age adults triggers overconnectivity in physical…
Summary: A new study utilized specialized Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging to measure synaptic connections in the living human brain. Evaluating one of the largest clinical cohorts of its kind to date, the…
SAN FRANCISCO, CA, UNITED STATES, July 14, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Astro Health Inc., a digital health artificial ...
BackgroundAutism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is increasingly recognized as a disorder of neural connectivity and network architecture. While EEG neurofeedback (NFB) has shown clinical efficacy in ameliorating ASD symptoms…
Playing a mental speed-training game seems to help the brain clear a protein linked to Alzheimer’s disease in men, but may work in women through different mechanisms ...
Summary: Researchers analyzed longitudinal data from thousands of preteen girls. They discovered that testosterone, a hormone traditionally associated primarily with male development, plays a dominant, previously…
Summary: Announced at the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference in London, the Consortium for Biomedical Research and Artificial Intelligence in Neurodegeneration (C-BRAIN) has officially launched three…
Exploring the impact of music interventions on brain function, behavior, and health: Volume II Behind each article we publish stands a team of superheroes: authors, editors, and reviewers who chose to uphold quality…
A new study finds surprising parallels between Freud’s theories of the mind and modern neuroscience, suggesting the brain may work as a prediction machine.
Psychology professors at Drexel University, led by Eric Zillmer, PsyD, shared the neuroscience behind elite soccer players’ success at the World Cup.
Alto Neuroscience, Inc. (“Alto”) (NYSE: ANRO), a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company with a mission to redefine psychiatry by leveraging neurobiology to develop personalized and highly effective ...
The escalating global prevalence of obesity and associated metabolic disorders has catalyzed intensive investigation into their multisystemic ramifications. Recent scientific investigations elucidate the sophisticated…
ObjectiveTo examine the association between early cognitive rehabilitation (E-CR) and long-term cognitive, functional, and biomarker outcomes in patients with mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI).MethodsThis single-center…
IntroductionFor people with Parkinson’s disease (PD), deciding whether to pursue deep brain stimulation (DBS) has become increasingly complex. Evidence suggests current approaches to collaborative decision-making may…
IntroductionMethamphetamine use during pregnancy is a global health issue, and there is limited knowledge on the cardiovascular and behavioral effects of prenatal methamphetamine exposure in adults. This study…
Until a few years ago, scientists thought one thing was certain: an adult’s brain will not change. Today, however, we know that ...
Researchers found that tau is essential for turning new experiences into lasting memories by helping organize the brain's memory-storing cells. The mouse study also revealed how abnormal tau may contribute to Alzheimer's…
Retired British professional soccer players showed structural brain differences and high rates of anxiety and depression but no signs of cognitive decline in a study looking to establish if repetitive ...
Many people believe that Alzheimer’s disease always causes memory loss and dementia. Surprisingly, this is not always true. Some older adults have brains that contain the same harmful changes seen in ...
Yale scientists discovered two neuron surface proteins that appear to help spread the toxic protein linked to Parkinson’s disease. Blocking these proteins in mice dramatically reduced disease progression, offering a…
