A new study confirms what many in the disabled community already know: People with disabilities have been experiencing high levels of depression and anxiety during the COVID-19 pandemic.

A region crossing the folded surface of the top of the brain, called the dorsal precentral gyrus, plays an essential role in how people use the sound of their voices to control how they want the words to sound, a new study shows.

Scientists have successfully tested in the lab a tiny biosensor they developed that can detect biomarkers tied to traumatic brain injuries.

Researchers have discovered a mechanism that may explain why COVID-19 patients lose their sense of smell, as well as having implications for long COVID.

Researchers have found that three different autism risk genes actually affect similar aspects of neuron development and the same neuron types, although each gene acted through unique molecular mechanisms. Additionally, a person’s specific genomic backg…

A new study has found that greater body fat is a risk factor for reduced cognitive function, such as processing speed, in adults. Even when the researchers took cardiovascular risk factors (such as diabetes or high blood pressure) or vascular brain inj…

A new study revealed a pathological brain activity that precedes the onset of Alzheimer’s first symptoms by many years: increased activity in the hippocampus during anesthesia and sleep, resulting from failure in the mechanism that stabilizes the neura…

Researchers have developed a set of growth charts for the brain. These ‘brain charts’ provide reference models for brain development and ageing across the entire human lifespan, based on a very large data set. These models can be used to make personali…

Researchers found that a monkey’s state of attentiveness may be encoded in the shapes and speeds of slow electrical waves that course over the surface of the brain. Like a surfer that avoids smooth water and favors more active waves, the brain uses fas…

Visual landmarks enable an animal to know where it is oriented in relation to its environment. Researchers have identified a new type of neuron in the rat brain, which appears to help facilitate this type of visual and spatial processing.
