One of the intriguing abilities of the human mind is daydreaming, where the mind wanders off into spontaneous thoughts, fantasies and scenarios, often without conscious effort, allowing creativity and reflection to flow freely. In a new study published in Frontiers of Human Neuroscience ,…
Key points Research suggests that heavy reliance on technology may change brain structure and reduce grey matter density. People can shape their brains through intentional actions to maintain mental agility and resilience. Engaging in mentally stimulating activities with new skills can strengthen cognitive function…
Scientists have found a novel method that may prevent a side effect of certain Parkinson’s therapies. Rob and Julia Campbell/Stocksy Researchers at the University of Alabama in Birmingham have discovered a promising method to prevent dyskinesia, a debilitating side effect of long-term Parkinson’s treatment….
Key points To successfully complete a hard task requires more cognitive effort. In visuomotor tasks, more cognitive effort enhances working memory allocation. Enhanced working memory allocation leads to improved recall and memory. “It just got too hard,” says Geena Davis as Dottie Hinson in…
In the busyness of life, the quest for improved brain function and reduced stress has become increasingly important. Surprisingly, neuroscience research has uncovered a simple, “brainless” activity that can significantly enhance memory , sharpen focus, and lower stress levels. This technique requires no special…
A newly developed molecule, LK-2, could inform new therapies for stroke-related brain injury, finds scientists at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids). An ischemic stroke occurs when blood flow to a part of the brain is interrupted, depriving the brain cells of oxygen and…
A longitudinal study by University of Queensland researchers has found high-intensity interval exercise improves brain function in older adults for up to 5 years. Emeritus Professor Perry Bartlett and Dr Daniel Blackmore from UQ’s Queensland Brain Institute led the study in which volunteers did…
Nasal sprays could revolutionize Alzheimer’s treatment by swiftly delivering brain-boosting medicine and improving cognitive function, a new study shows. This research is the latest in recent years to show showing promising results that support nasal therapy as a potential treatment for degenerative brain conditions…
New research led by UCLA Health has found a drug that treats insomnia works to prevent the addictive effects of the morphine opioids in mice while still providing effective pain relief. The study, published in the journal Nature Mental Health , concluded that suvorexant,…

A key mechanism which detects when the brain needs an additional energy boost to support its activity has been identified in a study in mice and cells led by UCL scientists. The scientists say their findings, published in Nature , could inform new therapies…
Vitamin B6 is crucial for brain function, with deficiencies linked to memory issues and depression; however, increasing B6 through supplements alone is insufficient. Researchers at Würzburg University Medicine found that inhibiting the degradation enzyme pyridoxal phosphatase effectively raises cellular B6 levels, offering a potential…
Morrie Markoff died at 110. His family donated his brain to NeuroBioBank. About a month ago, Judith Hansen popped awake in the predawn hours, thinking about her father’s brain. Her father, Morrie Markoff, was an unusual man. At 110, he was thought to be…

Credit: National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) A study published in the journal Nature Human Behaviour challenges the belief that identical physical actions are governed by the same motor memory, regardless of the decision-making…
Summary: Researchers identified a key mechanism that detects when the brain needs an energy boost, involving astrocytes and the molecule adenosine. This discovery could lead to new therapies for maintaining brain health and longevity, particularly in combating cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases. The study…
