A remote fear memory is a recollection of painful experiences that took place in the far past, from a few months to decades. The underlying mechanisms by which the brain consolidates distant terror memories have now been clarified by a University of California, Riverside mouse study that was
Scientists have labored for decades to understand how brain structure and functional connectivity drive intelligence. A new analysis offers the clearest picture yet of how various brain regions and neural networks contribute to a person's problem-solving ability in a variety of contexts, a t
Researchers suggested cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) that circulates inside of and around your brain and spinal cord, your three-pound brain doesn't feel particularly heavy. This fluid-filled space between your brain and skull shields it from a blow to the head and saturates it with nutrition.
Eyes may really be the window to the soul--or, at least, how humans dart their eyes may reveal valuable information about how they make decisions, suggests new research led by scientists at the University of Colorado Boulder.
Researchers at Florida State University College of Medicine have discovered a connection between anxiety-like behaviour in mice and aspartame, an artificial sweetener present in roughly 5,000 diet items and beverages.
According to a recent study published in 'Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging', the most common ADHD medication drug, methylphenidate, is now better understood in terms of its mechanism.
Hearing loss can occur when any component of the ear or the nerves that transmit sound information to the brain do not function normally. Researchers shed light on the treatment on long-term hearing loss treatment.
The underlying neurological mechanism that enables humans to feel empathy has been identified by researchers. Empathy is brought on by synchronised neuronal oscillations in the right hemisphere of the brain, which enables the creatures to sense and share each other's dread.
Wasteosomes, structures that act as storage facilities for waste products from the brain, are used to demonstrate the malfunction of the glymphatic system, a recently identified system that is a crucial brain-cleaning mechanism.
Depression is more common in stroke patients, which has an adverse influence on the recovery of cognitive and functional abilities, according to researchers.
Researchers at the Texas A&M University School of Medicine are leading research on the relationship between stroke-induced intestinal permeability, or leakiness, and cognitive impairment with the goal of improving stroke outcomes.
New research has shed light on why when you have an idea of a festive picture-perfect holiday season, what actually transpires doesn't always measure up.
