Obstructive sleep apnea disrupts brain function in several ways, including low oxygen levels, interrupted sleep, and vascular risk. Several regions throughout the brain may shrink, and the ...

Up to 48 hours before a migraine, this region becomes overactive, disrupting functions it normally regulates like sleep and ...

Nearly 30 years ago, researchers began studying the gene Astn1, which encodes the cell adhesion protein astrotactin 1 in mice, and its role in brain development. During this time, they learned a great ...

Valeria Vinogradova, a researcher at HSE University, together with British colleagues, studied how language proficiency affects cognitive processing in deaf adults. The study showed that higher ...

Activities like learning a new language as a child or reading, writing, and playing board games later in life all had an impact on Alzheimer’s risk.

An at-home brain-computer interface improves upper limb motor function in patients with chronic stroke, suggesting a new avenue for long-term neurorehabilitation.

Neuroscientists are converging on a detailed picture of how the human brain carves continuous speech into words, drawing on ...

Our current approach to mental health labelling and diagnosis has brought benefits. But as a practising doctor, I am concerned that it may be doing more harm than good ...

Machine learning is helping neuroscientists organize vast quantities of cells’ genetic data in the latest neurobiological cartography effort.

One of the problems with the study of consciousness is the lack of a universally accepted operational definition. Scientist René Descartes famously proposed the idea of cogito ergo sum (“I think, ...
