A new study challenges the long-standing belief that episodic and semantic memory rely on distinct brain systems.

A measure of brain complexity, derived from magnetic stimulation and EEG, can effectively evaluate conscious processing in ...

New research indicates that around two-thirds of initially non-speaking children with autism begin to speak following evidence-based early intervention, with factors like intervention duration and ...

Researchers identify two key proteins that allow chandelier cells to connect with excitatory neurons. This "handshake" regulates brain signals and, when disrupted, may lead to epilepsy or autism.

Summary: New research following children for more than a decade links high screen exposure before age two to accelerated brain maturation, slower decision-making, and increased anxiety by adolescence.

Summary: Researchers have engineered a next-generation glutamate sensor, iGluSnFR4, capable of detecting the faintest incoming synaptic signals between neurons—signals that, until now, have been ...

Summary: A new theoretical framework argues that the long-standing split between computational functionalism and biological naturalism misses how real brains actually compute. The authors propose ...

Summary: A large 25-year study found that people who ate more high-fat cheese and high-fat cream had a lower risk of developing dementia, though the results only show an association—not proof of ...

Summary: Blood sugar patterns and dietary choices play a significant role in how well adults sleep. Individuals with diabetes were more likely to experience sleep disorders, poor sleep quality, and ...

Summary: New research shows that deep learning can use EEG signals to distinguish Alzheimer’s disease from frontotemporal dementia with high accuracy. By analyzing both the timing and frequency of ...

Summary: The simple act of breathing shapes how and when memories are successfully retrieved. Participants recalled learned word-image pairs more accurately when reminder cues were presented during or ...

Summary: New research uncovers the exact immune-to-brain pathway that drives the loss of social motivation during sickness. Scientists showed that when the cytokine IL-1β binds to receptors on neurons ...
