A new study suggests that special memory can become distorted when patterns of grid cells in the brain are irregular.

Over six years, researchers evaluated the cognitive effects of statins in elderly consumers, revealing no negative impact and potential protective effects in those at risk of dementia.

Microorganisms living in the gut may alter the ageing process, which could lead to the development of food-based treatment to slow it down.

National Institutes of Health researchers found that a single, low-dose ketamine infusion was relatively free of side effects for patients with treatment-resistant depression.

Scientists have uncovered a possible explanation for the mental sluggishness that often accompanies illness.

Scientists conclude that more research is needed before supporting the use of fecal transplants to treat constipation in Parkinson’s disease patients.

A team from the University of California, Irvine has developed a cell therapy to improve memory and prevent seizures in mice following traumatic brain injury.

Researchers have used healthy tissue isolated from six patients to isolate four different kinds of brain cells — neurons, microglia, oligodendrocytes, and astrocytes — then looked at genetic variation associated with disease in the non-coding enhancer regions of each cell type, searching for variations that might be linked to disease risk.

The dopamine D2 receptor has a previously unobserved role in modulating Wnt expression and control of cell proliferation, according to a new study.

Microorganisms living in the gut could alter the aging process – this knowledge may lead to the development of food-based treatment to slow aging down.
