Vascular dementia has long been overshadowed by Alzheimer’s disease, yet it is one of the leading causes of cognitive decline ...

A new study by Scripps Research reveals that alcohol dependence disrupts two signaling pathways in a stress-related part of ...

With the most wonderful — and for some, the most stressful — time of year underway, a University of Iowa researcher is ...

Neurodegenerative disorders are pressing global health challenges that stem from progressive neuronal dysfunction and loss. While the central roles of ...

Within the human brain, movement is coordinated by a brain region called the striatum, which sends instructions to motor neurons in the brain. Those instructions are conveyed by two pathways, one that ...

Rutgers researchers found that the distribution of neural timescales across the cortex plays a crucial role in how ...

Guilt and shame arise from different cognitive triggers and rely on distinct neural systems to guide compensatory behavior.

Tufts University School of Medicine researchers developed imaging technology that records neuronal activity throughout the brain during the first weeks of recovery. They discovered that a head injury ...

Scientists have traced a devastating pattern of brain cell loss in a handful of families to a single, ultra-rare mutation ...

After injury, the visual system can recover by growing new neural connections rather than replacing lost cells. Researchers ...

The claim that the brain, and particularly the frontal lobe, finishes developing at 25 is far less solid than social media ...

In a groundbreaking study, a New York University Langone research team believes they have honed in on the brain pathways of a genetically determined repetitive motor behavior that is linked to autism.
