Current reporting, research and professional developments across Neuropsychology, curated for psychologists and behavioral-health professionals.
When Eric Stallard, an actuary and academic, began looking into the incidence of dementia among elderly Americans, he was so stunned by his findings that he held off publishing his first paper on the ...
Certain variants in the PSPH gene, which encodes an enzyme called phosphoserine phosphatase, prevent the body from making sufficient amounts of the amino acid L-serine, leading to a range of nervous system problems. New…
Recursion, Roche, and its Genentech subsidiary have announced plans to co-develop a neuroscience discovery program based on the first validated target discovered through an AI map they created to find ...
New research reveals a modified vitamin B12 therapy may enhance brain cancer treatment by effectively crossing the blood-brain barrier.
Discover 5 nutrient-rich foods linked to brain health, memory support, and healthy aging, from omega-3-rich fish to antioxidant-packed fruits.
It’s not hard to imagine this scene: you show up at a friend’s place with a bunch of flowers and a box of chocolates for the toddler. You hand over the flowers to the parents, and the toddler gets the ...
Firefly Neuroscience, Inc. (“Firefly” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: AIFF), an Artificial Intelligence ("AI") company advancing precision neuroscience, today announced a close to four-fold (291%) ...
Economics shapes many aspects of our daily lives, from the prices we pay to the policies governments adopt. Yet many of the ideas taught as universal principles of economics emerged from a narrow historical context and…
Researchers at New York University's Langone Health checked more than 12,000 people without dementia at 55, including some who have high blood pressure, some with type 2 diabetes and others who smoke ...
The locus coeruleus (LC) is the primary source of noradrenergic (NE) neurons in the central nervous system, with extensive neural projections throughout the brain, serving as a key ascending modulatory center for…
This study examined the effects of aging and bilingualism on neural speech perception in Spanish-English (SE) bilinguals and American English (AE) monolinguals. As the population of bilingual older adults continues to…
BackgroundThe integration of virtual reality (VR) technologies into clinical rehabilitation and diagnostics is rapidly expanding, yet the neurophysiological mechanisms of their influence on spinal motor circuits remain…
PurposeResearch has shown that augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) has the potential to function not only as a compensatory communicative strategy, but also as a tool to facilitate language recovery for…
IntroductionMany studies have examined the neural bases of word translation based on the revised hierarchical model (RHM). However, the findings reported thus far, mostly focusing on advanced or elementary…
Graphical AbstractGraphical abstract–Neuroimaging in affective neuroscience.Infographic presenting four interconnected panels describing convergent affective neurocircuitry using brain diagrams, connectivity maps, and…
Disorders of consciousness (DoC) following severe brain injury remain difficult to treat, and effective non-invasive therapeutic options are still limited. Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) has…
IntroductionNarrow-band gamma (NBG) is an oscillatory activity in the gamma band (60–90 Hz) that has been observed in the subthalamic nucleus (STN), the motor cortex, and, more recently, the globus pallidus internus…
Nightmares are a hallmark of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), yet pharmacological treatments remain limited. Here we conducted a multicenter, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the…
The mossy fiber (MF) connections to pyramidal cells in hippocampal CA3 are thought to participate in pattern separation, pattern completion and memory encoding, yet no large-scale neuronal wiring diagram exists for these…
Dopamine and noradrenaline have conserved roles in control of physiology and behaviors of vertebrates. However, vertebrate genetic models completely devoid of catecholamines are not available. We generated genetically…
Post-operative delirium (POD) is a serious complication of surgery particularly in older adults, characterized by acute disturbances in consciousness and cognition and associated with increased mortality and long-term…
The present study investigated the therapeutic potential of quercetin nanoparticles (QNPs), administered alone or in combination with levodopa/carbidopa (L/C), against reserpine-induced neurochemical alterations and…
Variants in GBA1, encoding lysosomal glucocerebrosidase (GCase), are risk factors for Parkinsonâs disease (PD), which is characterized by α-synuclein (αSyn) accumulation and lysosomal dysfunction. Nonetheless, the…
Neuro-imaging data is necessary for timely and correct diagnosis of the disease Alzheimer’s (AD). Early clinical intervention is challenging due to the high-dimensional nature of the images, making it computationally…
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a chronic, multifactorial neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive cognitive decline and memory loss. Pathological hallmarks include extracellular amyloid-β (Aβ) deposition and…
Upper limb impairment is one of the most common motor consequences after stroke, and valid assessment tools are essential for evaluating motor capacity. The Wolf Motor Function Test (WMFT) is widely used to measure upper…
Standing up from sitting is a common yet mechanically demanding activity of daily living. Those with motor impairments often have difficulties performing sit-to-stand transfers independently. Robotic devices can help…
Women experience addiction differently than men, with the nature and magnitude of these differences dependent on the clinical phenotype (e.g., progression to addiction vs. relapse vulnerability) and context (e.g., phase…
HIV-Tat and morphine synergistically exacerbate neuroinflammation and DNA damage, yet the mechanisms linking the DNA damage response (DDR), chromatin remodeling, and innate immune activation remain poorly understood…
Astrocytes are increasingly recognised as essential contributors to both physiological brain function and neurodegenerative diseases. Here, we describe how the Parkinsonâs disease (PD)-associated mutation LRRK2-G2019S…
