A groundbreaking study identifies a "master switch" molecule, miR-181d, that controls the chaotic behavior of glioblastoma cells.

A new study finds the hippocampus reorganizes memories to predict rewards. This discovery explains how the brain learns and why Alzheimer's affects decision-making.

A new study challenges the long-standing belief that episodic and semantic memory rely on distinct brain systems.

A measure of brain complexity, derived from magnetic stimulation and EEG, can effectively evaluate conscious processing in ...

New research indicates that around two-thirds of initially non-speaking children with autism begin to speak following evidence-based early intervention, with factors like intervention duration and ...

Summary: Autistic adults show reduced availability of a key glutamate receptor, mGlu5, across widespread brain regions. This difference supports the theory that an imbalance between excitatory and ...

Summary: A new study challenges the long-held belief that Alzheimer’s disease cannot be reversed. Researchers showed that a severe drop in NAD+—a core energy molecule—drives Alzheimer’s pathology in ...

Summary: A new nationwide analysis shows that getting fewer than seven hours of sleep a night is one of the strongest predictors of shorter life expectancy across U.S. counties. Sleep sufficiency ...

Summary: The simple act of breathing shapes how and when memories are successfully retrieved. Participants recalled learned word-image pairs more accurately when reminder cues were presented during or ...

Summary: New brain imaging research shows that structural damage in schizophrenia spectrum disorders may begin in specific “epicenter” regions before spreading across connected brain networks.

Summary: New research shows that depression beginning before age 25 has a much stronger hereditary component than depression that emerges later in life. By analyzing genetic data from over 150,000 ...
