Mice fed on a high fat or chocolate-based diet show abnormal feeding behaviours such as snacking, bingeing and disrupted eating patterns.

Researchers engineer better way to insert more flexible neural implants into soft brain tissue

The differences were observed as both groups were given a simple visual task. The results could suggest that a history of minor but repeated blows to the head can result in compensatory changes to the brain as it relates to eye movement function

The results of a new study suggest that the “coupling,” or synchrony, of brain waves among three key regions breaks down in specific ways when visual working memory load becomes too much to handle.

Researchers have developed a computer interface that can transcribe words that the user verbalizes internally but does not actually speak aloud.

A blood test may have the potential to speed accurate diagnosis – and proper treatment – of bipolar disorder in children, new research suggests.

New research contradicts recent findings that adult humans do not grow new neurons, sparking further debate about neurogenesis.

Metal nanoparticles are used in medical techniques, but their safety is still under review. A new study shows that these particles can damage brain DNA in mice through an astrocyte-dependent effect.

The new method relies on fluorescence resonance energy-transfer microscopy, or FRET microscopy, a technique that uses light to measure the tiniest of distances between molecules.

Research provides the first molecular understanding of why people gain weight due to chronic stress, disrupted circadian rhythms and treatment with glucocorticoid drugs: It’s all in the timing of the dips and rises of a class of hormones called glucocorticoids - predominantly the “stress hormone” cortisol.
