Gliomas are malignant brain tumors that originate from glial cells, which do not produce electrical impulses like neurons but instead support neurons by maintaining their structure and function. They are the most common form of brain cancer in adults and hijack normal neuronal si

Individuals with anorexia nervosa restrict food intake, sometimes to the point of starvation. Yet a new study published in The Journal of Neuroscience finds that the cognitive machinery they use to make decisions about what to eat is remarkably similar to that of healthy eaters.

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 way, but on the other hand, just to keep up, it has to try to

Encephalitis is a serious condition in which an infection or autoimmune response triggers inflammation of the brain. The resulting swelling can disrupt normal brain function, causing neurological changes such as confusion, altered mental status and seizures. Researchers from The

Stress or trauma during childhood may leave people more vulnerable to mental health struggles and stress later in life. Scientists think one reason could be that early-life stress leaves lasting molecular bookmarks on DNA, without changing the genetic sequence itself. A recent st

The brain's immune cells are increasingly recognized as key players in Alzheimer's disease, but exactly how they change as the disease develops has remained unclear. A new study published in Nature Genetics provides the most comprehensive map to date of these cells, identifying a

Mini human brains are being grown in labs all over the world. Soon, they could outthink neural networks. O recorte ajuda a contextualizar a pauta dentro de Tech.

A research team led by Professor Ho Kyung Yoon of the Department of Psychiatry and Professor Do Young Kwon of the Department of Neurology at Korea University Ansan Hospital demonstrated that transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) significantly improves depression and apat

fMRI scans show happiness, fear, anger, and sadness have distinct brain activity patterns in doggy brains. O recorte ajuda a contextualizar a pauta dentro de Tech.

For decades, neuroscientists have been able to record which parts of the brain show increased electrical activity during a behavior, such as when we form a memory or make a decision. But scientists haven't been able to determine how those regions are communicating with and influe

For a long time, psychologists have described loneliness as the discomfort that comes from wanting more social connection than we feel we have, but there is more nuance to loneliness. Scientists are increasingly finding that loneliness is also linked to how we respond to negative

For decades, obesity medications produced only modest weight loss. But in recent years, Ozempic and related GLP-1 therapies have transformed the field, enabling sustained weight loss of 10% to 15% or more. Despite their success, however, scientists have not fully understood how t
