A research team has discovered the underlying neural mechanism that allows us to feel empathy. The group’s study on mice hinted that empathy is induced by the synchronized neural oscillations in the right hemisphere of the brain, which allows the anima…

Researchers report early stage clinical study results of tests with non-invasive 40Hz light and sound treatment.

Researchers find that the anesthetic and fast-acting antidepressant switches natural patterns of neuronal activity in the cortex of mice.

Neuroscientists have discovered that a specific type of brain cell could be a key player in making you feel the negative impacts of stress.

Scientists have found that neurons from people with Alzheimer’s disease show deterioration and undergo a late-life stress process called senescence. These neurons have a loss of functional activity, impaired metabolism, and increased brain inflammation…

A link has been found between joint hypermobility and the emergence of depression and anxiety in adolescence, according to a new study. Researchers found that young people with joint hypermobility were more likely to have depression and anxiety, and th…

Data from a new fetal brain atlas has helped a science team discover a collection of progenitor cells that give rise to aggressive ‘group 3′ medulloblastomas. Findings include identifying two genes that may serve as treatment targets. Mice with these t…

A low-cost, prenatal intervention benefits mothers’ mental health up to eight years later, a new study finds.

Researchers have discovered that removal of cilia from the brain’s striatum region impaired time perception and judgment, revealing possible new therapeutic targets for mental and neurological conditions including schizophrenia, Parkinson’s and Hunting…

Neuroscientists discovered that the adult brain contains millions of ‘silent synapses’ — immature connections between neurons that remain inactive until they’re recruited to help form new memories.
