A first-of-its-kind study has explored consciousness and brain activity in patients during cardiopulmonary resuscitation after a cardiac arrest.

New analysis of pilot studies on night shift naps conducted from 2012 to 2018 revealed the ideal snoozing strategy that might help counteract drowsiness and fatigue during a 16-hour overnight duty. The findings can also benefit new parents.

Results of a mouse behavioral study surprised scientists by showing that while mice were capable of learning the “win-stay, lose-shift” strategy, they nonetheless refused to fully adopt it.

Researchers have pinpointed a molecular signature of post-stroke depression, suggesting a link between immune activity in the brain and depression after a stroke.

Researchers have found women can retain the benefits of exercise during their 20s, going on to have better heart health later in life. They analysed longitudinal data from 479 women who reported their physical activity levels every three years.

Electrically charged molecules that trigger self-destruction could be used to target and kill cancer cells in hard-to-treat brain tumors.

Researchers have identified a backup mechanism of protein quality control which prevents the toxic effects of protein aggregation in specific tissues when normal methods of molecular monitoring fail.

Adults aged 60 and older who spend more time engaging in sedentary behaviors like sitting while watching TV or driving may be at increased risk of developing dementia.
