Uncontrolled epilepsy often requires a series of trials and errors to identify effective drug combinations. Continuous, long-term EEG data could streamline this process by revealing the full picture of a patient’s seizure activity. Three new personal m…

Secreted RVG- exosome-delivered siRNA down-regulates opioid receptor Mu (MOR) in mouse brain and rescues drug addiction, new research indicates.

Evolutionary conserved brainstem circuits are the first relay for gustatory information in the vertebrate brain. While the brainstem circuits act as our life support system and they mediate vital taste related behaviors, the principles of gustatory com…

Researchers studied women and men using fMRI during wayfinding tasks in a recently learned virtual environment. Men consistently performed better than women. When women were given a drop of testosterone under their tongue, however, their ability to ori…

‘Attractive’ people earn higher wages and are more likely to win political elections. A new study pinpoints the exact amount of weight loss or gain required to appear attractive.

For the very first time, researchers have been able to show that the causes of congenital face blindness can be traced back to an early stage in the perceptual process.

A smartphone-induced EEG waveform and an intelligent algorithm for seizure detection are among the emerging new technologies. Four innovative studies promise to reshape current paradigms for seizure detection and epilepsy management.

Four studies presented at the American Epilepsy Society’s (AES) 69th Annual Meeting uncover the biological factors that mediate memory decline in people with epilepsy, particularly those with seizures that affect the temporal lobe. Loss of neurons from…

Innovative neuroscience research uses pharmaceutical interventions to turn anxious rats from shrinking violets into social butterflies.

Researchers have taken a close look at a signaling pathway present in most organisms and found that it suppresses the formation of specific types of brain tumor.
