Brain changes including shrinkage, weakened connections and poorer performance on thinking and memory tests could explain ‘brain fog’ after COVID – even after ‘mild’ cases.
Humans can be resuscitated after 10 minutes, so we may have some level of consciousness immediately after death.
Scientists are just beginning to decode the genetic messages in your food – and how that may affect your health.
The mosquito-borne Japanese encephalitis virus has been detected for the first time in southeastern Australia, in pigs at a pig farm. So what threat does it pose to human health?
There is evidence to suggest that dopamine plays a key role in gamling addiction.
The physical activity and social connection that take place at recess help children be more engaged once back in the classroom.
Many people with epilepsy are unable to remember what happened immediately before they have a seizure. This may be because seizures and memory use the same pathways of the brain.
In the first published survey of users of the hemp-derived compound, respondents highlight some important therapeutic effects.
How can scientific literature on interpersonal trauma help us better understand the impact of tragedy, especially on children who are still developing?
The brain is basically a time machine that ensures what we see is stable and continuous
Opioids can cause death by slowing breathing to dangerously low levels, or stopping it altogether. Examining one area of the brain may eventually lead to safer painkillers.
A smell will often take us back to a particular place and time. But how are place and smell linked in the brain?
Understanding where and how memories are formed could lead to more ways to treat conditions like PTSD and addiction.
Understanding how brain folding works could help researchers better diagnose and treat neurodevelopmental disorders.
The brain uses visual information and vibrations to substitute the missing sense of hearing.
The molecule C1q has both protective and detrimental effects after traumatic brain injury. Blocking it after injury in mice restored normal brain rhythms during sleep and prevented epileptic spikes.
Ultra-processed foods high in sugar, fat and empty carbs are bad for the mind as well as the body. Lack of micronutrients affects brain function and influences mood and mental health symptoms.
A better understanding of language and its neuroscientific basis would help us handle linguistic issues throughout our lives.
High levels of uncertainty can make us obsessive compulsive, causing physical changes in the brain.
