In a recent mouse-model study researchers have now found that the cerebellum also controls thirst, a major function necessary for survival. Specifically, the research team found that a hormone, asprosin, crosses from the periphery into the brain to act…

A new study has found that prolonged nerve injury (in an experimental model of chronic pain) reduces the expression of the transcription factor, Myocyte Enhancer Factor 2C (MEF2C) in the nucleus accumbens, a brain region that regulates emotion, reward …

About a third of Canadians feel lonely, and a study shows it has a greater negative impact on memory than even social isolation, though both present a significant risk to the aging population.

A potential new treatment for bipolar disorder (BP) that significantly shortens treatment time has emerged, following a randomized clinical trial using accelerated intermittent theta burst stimulation (aiTBS). While current theta burst stimulation (TBS…

New research identifies novel path to protecting the brain from stroke-induced damage.

Researchers have built the first-ever molecular atlas of the human brain vasculature at single-cell resolution, spanning from early development to adulthood and through disease stages such as brain tumors and brain vascular malformations.

A longitudinal study has found that high-intensity interval exercise improves brain function in older adults for up to 5 years.

Even years after they have recovered, a person who once struggled with alcohol or opioid addiction can relapse–and that relapse is more likely to occur during particularly stressful times. Now, scientists have identified an area of the brain that play…

A team of researchers has identified and located a population of stem-like cells that initiates and maintains Group 3 medulloblastoma (Gr3-MB) in the developing brain. Gr3-MB is one of the most aggressive forms of brain cancer in children and is associ…

Scientists have found that in premature newborns with very low birth weight, salt and water transporters on immature neurons can cause brain tissue to shrink in response to a lack of oxygen, which in turn results in brain bleeding and lifelong neurolog…
