Researchers developed a novel fluorescent sensor to detect and monitor levels of the neuropeptide oxytocin, also known as the ‘happy hormone.’ The OT sensor facilitated the successful measurement of OT dynamics in the brains of living animals and may s…

A comprehensive analysis of federal data shows people who have had COVID-19 are at an elevated risk of developing neurological conditions within the first year after infection. Movement disorders, memory problems, strokes and seizures are among the com…

Scientists have explored new techniques that may help distinguish between two different neurological conditions in patients with severe brain damage and or in a coma.

Scientists believe a new genetically-targeted therapy to treat motor neurone disease (MND) could be a turning point for patient care, after the results of a Phase 3 clinical trial showed significant physical benefits for patients after 12 months.

Scientists have identified a previously unknown barrier that separates the bloodstream from smelling cells in the upper airway of mice. But this barrier ends up keeping some of the larger molecules of the body’s immune system out, and that may be hinde…

Neuroscientists have explored how individual neurons in mice are influenced by two different cognitive and behavioral states — attention and running. These two states were once thought to share a common mechanism. However, in a new study published tod…

Simple computer-based neurocognitive training — using positive words and pictures designed to boost self-worth — prolongs the antidepressant effects of ketamine in people with treatment-resistant depression, researchers report.

Researchers have discovered a biological mechanism that increases the strength with which fear memories are stored in the brain. The study, done in rats, provides new knowledge on the mechanisms behind anxiety-related disorders, and identifies shared m…

Deep learning models represent ‘an entirely new paradigm for studying dementia.’

Researchers have found regions in the woodpecker forebrain that show characteristics that until now have only been associated with vocal learning in animals and language in humans. The study shows that instead of being related to vocalization, activity…
