Cognitive behavioral therapy leads to adaptive changes in brain circuitry in just two months, relieving depression and predicting which patients benefit from long-term therapy.

Research suggests that low doses of carbon monoxide, similar to levels in smokers, may protect against Parkinson’s disease. The findings highlight potential pathways for new Parkinson’s treatments and warrant further clinical trials.

A study found that individuals with depression have a brain network, the frontostriatal salience network, nearly twice as large as those without depression. This enlargement is stable over time and could serve as a biomarker for early diagnosis.

New research has examined how the brain initiates spontaneous actions, offering insights into the origins of slow ramping of neural activity before movement onset, a poorly understood phenomenon.

Research has found a correlation between nighttime light pollution and increased prevalence of Alzheimer's disease. In the US, younger individuals exposed to high nighttime light intensity show a stronger association with Alzheimer’s than other risk.

A new study has revealed that mindfulness meditation engages distinct brain mechanisms to reduce pain.

Researchers at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research discovered that PFAS chemicals disrupt brain development in zebrafish by altering the activity of genes similar to those in humans.

Study participants who had experienced a sports-related concussion had better cognitive performance in some areas than those who had never suffered a concussion, pointing to the potential protective effects of sports participation.

Researchers showed that experimentally induced lack of blood flow in the brain epigenetically reprograms astrocytes into brain stem cells, which in turn can give rise to nerve progenitor cells.

A new study reveals that nanoplastics, which are tiny plastic particles less than one micrometer in size, may cross the blood-brain barrier
