An antidepressant medication called bupropion, also used for smoking cessation, may help people stop using cocaine while in treatment for opioid use disorder.

According to a study, a new focused ultrasound treatment improved dyskinesia and motor impairment in patients with Parkinson’s disease.

According to research, nanoplastics can cause malformations in the nervous system, heart and eyes of embryos.

Learning, remembering something, and recalling memories are supported by multiple separate groups of neurons connected inside and across key regions in the brain. If these neural assemblies fail to sync together at the right time, the memories are lost, a new study.

Researchers from Tokyo Medical and Dental University shed new light on the characteristics of the niche in which neural stem cells reside in the developing brain.

High levels of ozone destroy the chemical mating signal of insects and may thus contribute to global insect decline, a study has found.

Using vision to efficiently move through an area by foot uses a unique region of the brain’s cortex, according to a new, small study.

A new study by scientists at the University of Alberta sheds light on how a moderate fever can be beneficial when illness strikes. The research – conducted in fish – is published in eLife.

Researchers have uncovered a novel regulatory mechanism in the brain that is essential for making the right kinds of proteins that promote healthy brain function, and its malfunctioning may be an early contributor to the development of Alzheimer’s disease.

Prior research on brain-wide associated studies has shown that links between brain function and structure and traits are so weak that thousands of participants are needed to detect replicable effects. However, a new study suggests stronger links can be obtained when machine learning algorithms are utilized, which can garner high-powered results from moderate sample sizes.
