A brain must constantly cope with the highly variable, fast-paced nature of the world when trying to judge what's going on around it. On the one hand, it has to be open to whatever new sensory information may come its…
During a reading lesson, Mateo, an elementary multilingual learner (MLL) in a Delaware public school, read "sit" as "seat." Jon Kittle, his reading interventionist, walked him through the short vowel sound, but Mateo…
Millions of investors using the Robinhood app tend to favor simpler, easy-to-understand stocks, according to new research from Washington State University—and those stocks outperformed more complex firms during the study…
Blood biomarkers may make it possible to detect changes seen in Alzheimer's disease without advanced brain imaging or cerebrospinal fluid tests. At the same time, much of the research behind today's biomarkers has been…
Watchdog science journalism has become a fundamental tool to counter scientific malpractice, such as publication fraud, abuse and political and corporate manipulation of science. A study by the Universitat Autònoma de…
Research has shown that a good night's sleep has many benefits, including memory consolidation. How sleep enables the brain to strengthen memories is still not completely understood, but a new study published in Neuron…
Most neuroscience research still runs on mice, even though much of what applies to mice does not hold up in humans. Marmosets have emerged as a bridge between species. However, comparing the brains of mice and marmosets…
Women on regimens of estrogen-only menopausal hormone therapy are at reduced risk of Alzheimer's disease, a study by Stanford Medicine investigators has found. Because estrogen-only therapy is generally prescribed for…
Overall, star employees tend to create value in different ways as their careers progress. Early on, they create outsized value through their individual performance. Experienced stars, meanwhile, contribute by helping…
Researchers from the Mark and Mary Stevens Neuroimaging and Informatics Institute (Stevens INI) at the Keck School of Medicine of USC have developed an automated system that uses MRI to measure brain tissue changes in…
A protein inside appetite-controlling brain cells may play an important role in preventing overeating and obesity, particularly when high-fat foods are readily available. Unexpected differences between males and females…
Over 57 million people worldwide live with dementia, causing 36.3 million disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) and ranking as ...
The language network in your brain can be seen, even if you aren't saying a word. For a study published in Nature Communications, researchers used data from more than 1,900 functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI)…
Migraine is a highly prevalent disabling disorder affecting approximately 1 billion people worldwide.1 Its pathophysiology involves activation and sensitisation of the trigeminovascular system, resulting in the release…
Motion sickness is provoked when ambiguity or ‘conflict’ within vestibular signals or within visual-vestibular interactions challenge the constancy of ‘uprightness’ and the interpretation of self-motion versus…
Background Long-term functional and vocational outcomes after traumatic brain injury (TBI) remain difficult to predict, limiting prognostic counselling and rehabilitation planning. We aimed to evaluate the…
Background Repetitive head impacts in former contact sport athletes are associated with cognitive impairment, accelerated cerebral atrophy and risk of neurodegenerative disease. Epigenetic clocks derived from…
Background Psychiatric comorbidities are increasingly recognised in demyelinating diseases, yet their frequency and timing in myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD) are not well defined…
Background Evidence regarding the clinical course of unruptured giant intracranial aneurysms (GIAs) after conservative management (CON), microsurgical treatment (SURG) or endovascular treatment (EVT) remains limited. We…
Background Spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) has high rates of mortality with no proven haemostatic treatment. We conducted the first systematic review and individual patient data meta-analysis (IPDMA) to…
Background Information about the incidence of cerebral cavernous malformations (CCM) is sparse and the effect of increasing MRI availability is uncertain. Our objective was to assess the incidence of symptomatic and…
Background Evidence indicates that B-cell dynamics during ocrelizumab treatment vary among individuals with multiple sclerosis. However, our understanding of B-cell dynamics is incomplete. We aim to characterise temporal…
Background In multiple sclerosis (MS), disability accrual can arise from relapse-associated worsening (RAW) and progression independent of relapse activity (PIRA). While genetic variants associated with increased MS…
Background Ocrelizumab, a monoclonal antibody targeting CD20+ B cells, is a high-efficacy therapy for multiple sclerosis (MS). Methods Patients with relapse-onset MS treated with ocrelizumab, fingolimod, natalizumab or…
In Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP), 81% of patients respond well to at least one of the established first-line therapies: corticosteroids, immunoglobulin or plasma exchange (PLEX).1 2…
A single human brain cell may be far more powerful than scientists once realized. Researchers found that cortical neurons can perform remarkably complex computations, giving them capabilities more like tiny biological…
Over the years, caffeine has attracted attention for its potential brain-protective effects. Now, a decades-long study of more ...
TORONTO, Aug. 13, 2026 /CNW/ -- Heart & Stroke, in partnership with Brain Canada, is proud to announce funding for a third ...
AI has helped scientists measure the brain’s hidden cleaning system, revealing that fluid moves rapidly around its outer spaces but about 50 times more slowly through deep tissue. The discovery could eventually help…
Early detection of hypoglycemia among non-hypoglycemic conditions is critical in type 1 diabetes (T1D), as delayed intervention can lead to serious neurological and metabolic consequences. Although continuous glucose…
