Walking a leashed dog linked to risk of traumatic brain injury among adult
Updated : 2 years, 10 months ago IST
From 2001 to 2020, traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) were the second most prevalent injury among individuals treated in U.S. emergency departments for injuries connected to walking a leashed dog, according to Johns Hopkins University researchers. The researchers also discovered that women and

Researchers discover rhythmic brain activity helps to maintain temporary m
Updated : 2 years, 10 months ago IST
According to a new study, rhythmic brain activity is essential for temporarily maintaining critical information in memory. Brain rhythms--or patterns of neural activity--organize the bursts of activity in the brain that preserve short-term connections, according to researchers from the Del M

Study finds how some brain cells transfer material to neurons
Updated : 2 years, 10 months ago IST
UC Davis researchers are the first to describe how oligodendrocyte-lineage cells transfer cell material to neurons in the mouse brain. Their findings show that these cells and neurons interact in a coordinated nuclear manner.

Researchers discover brain developing sequence through adolescence
Updated : 2 years, 11 months ago IST
A recent Penn Medicine study found that brain development does not take place consistently throughout the entire brain. It follows a recently discovered developmental progression. Young people are susceptible to socioeconomic situations until adolescence because brain regions that support co

New brain developing sequence which spans through adolescence identified:
Updated : 2 years, 11 months ago IST
Researchers charted how developmental processes unfold across the human brain from the ages of 8 to 23 years old through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The findings indicate a new approach to understanding the order in which individual brain regions show reductions in plasticity during de
