Medicine & TechnologyA new scanning system was developed to easily conduct imaging of the brain. This super-resolution technique can be a solution to detect early signs and treatments of neurological disease including Alzheimer's.
The largest longitudinal study on brain activation that underlies adolescent development reveals cognitive function maps that might help explain risk factors for mental and physical health challenges in adulthood.
A new study suggests that adolescents who stop studying math after 16 show reduced levels of a critical chemical in the brain that is responsible for cognitive development, leaving them at a disadvantage.
Experts warn that spending too much time watching your favorite TV shows could lead to brain deterioration and hastened cognitive decline because the brain doesn't get the exercise it needs to function properly.
In a recent study, the Washington University School of Medicine researchers found that immune cells that shield the brain and spinal cord come mainly from the skull.
In a world-first discovery, researchers have observed how blood oxygen levels in the brain affect memory loss, a precursor to the development of Alzheimer's disease.
A recent study of neuronal activities shows that excessive neuronal activities might increase the chances of having a brain tumor. Mice, in place of children, are found to have developing tumors in optical neurons.
Researchers from Yale University found that the hippocampus, the brain's memory center, can already recognize and learn patterns as young as three months.
New research recently revealed one of the latest technological inventions with a robotic third thumb that has produced surprising results, specifically for people's brains.
A bright potential treatment for stroke combines the mechanisms of photosynthesis and nanoparticles in a new "nano-photosynthetic" system, that is said to reduce dying neurons, improve motor function, and help new blood vessels grow.
While studies regarding the right levels of alcohol consumption remain cloudy, a new Oxford-led study could put all to rest, saying that there are no safe levels when it comes to drinking.
An AI-inspired hypothesis explains how brains work to help people distinguish reality from dreams. It helps people better understand the real waking reality.
