Humans have a large and intricately folded neocortex that accounts for many of our intellectual abilities and sets us apart from all other species. A research team has identified an important factor that could have led to this brain development. This finding could pave the way for the treatment of neurodegenerative diseases.

Researchers have observed that a higher two-hour glucose level in the glucose tolerance test predicts a worse performance in episodic memory after ten years.

New research has found that fruit and vegetable consumption and exercise can increase levels of happiness.

Pioneering research shows that dopamine levels increase in response to stressful stimuli, and not just pleasurable ones, potentially rewriting facts about the “feel-good” hormone—a critical mediator of many psychiatric diseases. This discovery is cause to rethink treatment for psychiatric disease and addiction.
