(A) Principle of the technology. (B) Electrolysis of a tungsten electrode in physiological saline. The black lumps are oxides. (C) Procedure for applying this technology in vivo. (D) Dark-field observation image of a slice of a mouse brain in which this technology was applied…
ARI SHAPIRO, HOST: A severe traumatic brain injury often causes lasting damage. GINA ARATA: I couldn’t get a job because if I was, like, say, a waitress and you put in an order, I would forget. I couldn’t remember to get you, like, a…
Five people who had life-altering, seemingly irreversible cognitive deficits following moderate to severe traumatic brain injuries showed substantial improvements in their cognition and quality of life after receiving an experimental form of deep brain stimulation (DBS) in a phase 1 clinical trial. The trial,…
More than just the ‘rewards’ chemical, dopamine helps our brains avoid negative experiences based on previous ‘punishment’ For the first time, dopamine regulation has been mapped in real time, deep inside the brains of three humans, revealing how the brain neurotransmitter plays an essential…

Scientists developed a revolutionary organoid model of the dopaminergic system, providing significant insights into Parkinson’s disease and the long-lasting effects of cocaine on the brain. This model is a promising tool for advancing Parkinson’s disease treatments and understanding the enduring impact of drug addiction….
Key points Moderate-intensity aerobic exercise (cardio) increases prefrontal cortex oxygenation and boosts brain power. Even with an insufficient oxygen supply or acute hypoxia, doing cardio can improve cognitive performance. Increased cerebral blood flow alone may not explain why aerobic exercise improves executive function. Vitalii…
U.S. researchers are developing a new tool—a multipurpose fiber that will provide a window into the deep brain—with the goal of learning how to slow down or even reverse memory loss in Alzheimer’s disease. Barely thicker than a strand of human hair, the tiny…
Scientists have discovered that a hunger hormone in the gut directly influences the brain’s hippocampus, affecting decision-making related to food. The study, conducted on mice, showed that hunger hormones modify brain activity to either inhibit or permit eating based on the animal’s hunger level….
(Photo credit: OpenAI’s DALL·E) A new study published in PLOS Biology suggests that our heartbeat plays a crucial role in determining our brain’s ability to perceive and react to the world around us. Researchers have discovered that during the 0.8 seconds of a heartbeat,…
In a recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences , a team of researchers in the United States used non-human primate anxious temperament models to investigate the molecular mechanisms and neural systems underlying behavioral inhibition in humans, which is…

Cutter Lindbergh Ph.D. is a psychologist in the Department of Psychiatry at UConn Health. July 7, 2021 (Tina Encarnacion/UConn Health) The global COVID-19 pandemic has been over since March, but doctors continue to study the long-term ramifications of the virus. A neuropsychologist with University…
UF Health hope to refine and accelerate the analysis of tumors with artificial intelligence. University of Florida Health researchers have deployed artificial intelligence to refine and accelerate the evaluation of a common type of brain tumor. The findings involve analyzing certain chemical characteristics of…
WASHINGTON – Using a specialized device that translates images into sound, Georgetown University Medical Center neuroscientists and colleagues showed that people who are blind recognized basic faces using the part of the brain known as the fusiform face area, a region that is crucial…

Advertisement With all the focus on serious COVID-19 vaccine injuries and deaths, it is easy for less dramatic side effects to fly under the radar. However, many people who received these jabs are now contending with a host of chronic symptoms that affect their…
Research Similar to the tale of the boiling frog, flies more likely to react to rapid heating We’ve all heard it: Put a frog in boiling water, and it will jump out. But put the same frog in lukewarm water and heat it gradually,…
