When patients are put under general anaesthesia, their brain activity frequently slows as they fall asleep. Higher anaesthetic medication dosages can cause an even deeper state of unconsciousness called burst suppression, which is associated with cognitive deficits once the patient awakens.
“A simple and easy-to-administer treatment with 100 per cent oxygen can drastically improve human motor learning processes,” said Dr Marc Dalecki, now at the German University of Health and Sports in Berlin, senior author of the study in Frontiers in Neuroscience.
Researchers have known that a lack of quality sleep can increase a person's risk of diabetes. Now, new findings from a team of sleep scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, are closer to an answer. The researchers have uncovered a potential mechanism in humans that explains how
According to a recent study from King's College London's Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology, and Neuroscience (IoPPN), the processing of pain signals differs in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease (AD) compared to healthy mice.
A recent study from the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience and the VIB-KU Leuven Centre for Brain and Disease Research demonstrates that a little molecule known as microRNA-132 can significantly affect many brain cells and may be related to Alzheimer's disease.

New Delhi [India], June 22: Happiness is no longer a mystery shrouded in anecdotes and guesswork. In his transformative book, "The Art of Being Happy: A Masterclass in the Science of Happiness," Dr. Mukesh Jain, an IPS officer and accomplished author, explores the science behind true happine
The anterior prefrontal cortex (aPFC) of the brain is more involved in emotion regulation when testosterone levels are higher during adolescence, but the opposite is true during maturity.
Understanding how the brain can adapt to a changing environment despite having a largely static structure is a major difficulty in neuroscience. Connectivity, or how the different parts of the brain interact to one another anatomically and functionally, is an important factor.
When visual information is conflicting, bumblebees utilise smell to find their nest, according to the researchers. The study was published in Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience.'
A new study from Boston Medical Centre discovered a link between biomarkers in the vitreous humour of the eye and pathologically verified instances of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) in post-mortem brain and eye tissue.
