Researchers have long known that the anti-aging hormone klotho, infusions of blood from younger animals and exercise can boost the brain function of aging mice. The underlying mechanism behind these changes has remained elusive until now.

Neuroscientists at Scripps Research have identified brain circuits that make mammals want to eat more when they are exposed to cold temperatures.

Men navigate their intimate partner relationships depending on their masculine style. The study found three types of masculinities: Neo-traditionalists, Egalitarian, and Progressive.

Prior vaccination against tetanus and diphtheria, with or without pertussis, shingles and pneumococcus are all associated with a reduced risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease

A study has described how a gene mutation linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) disrupts the stability of neurons and “chokes off” their nuclei, impairing their function, and suggests that an anti-cancer drug could improve stability in lab models.

Researchers have uncovered the neural architecture governing the learning processes of the enigmatic Octopus vulgaris. The research presents a promising model for studying memory networks.

A research team has recently made a significant advancement in spinal cord injury treatment by using genetically modified human neural stem cells.

Analysis of the connections between the different areas of the frontal temporal lobe that are responsible for memory has revealed new brain networks related to memory that are different in humans and non-human primates.

Researchers have coupled the measurements of brain waves associated with disorders of consciousness (DoC) with glucose usage in specific brain areas, identifying where in the brain the waves might be generated.

Neuroscientists at Albany Medical Center diligently recorded the activity of electrodes placed on the brains of patients being prepared for epilepsy surgery while listening to Pink Floyd.
