Current reporting, research and professional developments across Neuropsychology, curated for psychologists and behavioral-health professionals.
ObjectiveLong COVID, or post-COVID-19 syndrome, is characterized by persistent symptoms following SARS-CoV-2 infection, including cognitive impairments such as “brain fog” that adversely affect quality of life. The aim…
Psilocybin is a classic psychedelic known to alter subjective experience and induce lasting psychological changes, including increased cognitive flexibility and reduced rigid self-related beliefs. Contextual factors…
IntroductionAssociative equivalence learning, the ability to form connections between different stimuli based on shared outcomes, plays a fundamental role in human cognition. In this study, we investigated how stimulus…
Phasic increase of frontal midline theta (Fm theta) power has been described as a key indicator of cognitive processing, while relatively lower task-related Fm theta power is associated with reduced cognitive strain…
The brain basis of semantic and conceptual processing is complex and difficult to explain. Specific word categories selectively engage some cortical areas, whereas others function as semantic hubs processing words across…
The fMRI literature has accumulated many studies that investigated the neural correlates of viewing food images. However, there has been no literature survey to provide an overall understanding of which food image…
Light sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) is increasingly appreciated as the gold standard for gentle, volumetric imaging with fast acquisition speeds and/or long imaging durations. However, the often-constrained sample…
Early-life nutrition is linked to adult brain health, yet evidence from quasi-experimental studies remains scarce. Leveraging the UKâs historical sugar rationing as a natural experiment, we examined whether early-life…
Thyroid hormones (THs) regulate oligodendrogenesis and myelination in the developing central nervous system (CNS), particularly during the perinatal period when oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) differentiate into…
Fatigue is characterized as a feeling of exhaustion or lack of energy, is a common symptom of multiple chronic illnesses and interferes with daily activities and quality of life. There is a limited availability of animal…
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease associated with motor neuron death. Superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) misfolding and aggregation have been linked to familial and sporadic ALS, where…
World Brain Day 2026: Doctors explain the powerful connection between heart health and brain health. Learn how high blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol and lifestyle habits influence your risk of ...
Researchers developed a biomimetic taste sensor combining 3D taste bud organoids with custom 200 mu-tall 3D microelectrode arrays.
If quizzed on your biggest health fear, chances are losing sharpness when it comes to brain function is up there. In fact, half of UK adults say they fear developing dementia more than any other ...
Researchers developed a high-resolution, adaptive light-sheet microscopy system capable of capturing 3D seizure propagation in live larval zebrafish brains in real time.
Dr Vishal Jain and Dr Sudhir Kumar explain early signs of dementia and how a 10-minute brain scan can be used for early detection.
By analyzing human-AI interaction through the lens of creative pretense and media theory, the study explains why people readily form emotional bonds and confide in AI companions without attributing moral status to them…
Most people picture dementia only as memory loss, confusion, and forgetting familiar faces. But the truth behind these symptoms is that these changes don’t happen overnight. And they don’t always ...
On World Brain Day, neurologists reveal 10 everyday habits that silently accelerate brain ageing and share practical tips to protect memory, cognition, and overall brain health. , Health, Times Now ...
Measuring Predictive Age Difference (PAD), the team found that Alzheimer’s disease and mild cognitive impairment showed the highest accelerated brain aging, followed by psychiatric disorders and substance addiction.
A new study presents a unifying computational framework for neural traveling waves in the visual cortex.
New research reveals dementia, addiction and psychiatric disorders each leave a distinct "fingerprint" of accelerated brain ageing — and could one day help with earlier diagnosis.
How does speech recovery occur after a stroke? And is it possible to fully restore speech? Anastasia Gaurilyus, a neuropsychologist, associate professor, PhD in Psychology, answered this question in ...
Summary: A scientific framework proposes that digital media usage alters human focus through a mechanism called “effort recalibration.” Rather than destroying raw attentional capacity, continuous ...
Simple daily habits can shape your brain health over time. A neurologist explains five lifestyle changes that may improve memory, focus and long-term cognitive well-being.
"Red meat has been shown in previous studies to increase the risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease, which are both linked to reduced brain health." ...
The MIND diet has gained traction as a research-backed eating pattern designed to protect brain health and lower dementia risk, but the foods you skip matter just as much as the ones you load onto ...
The World Health Organization (WHO) issued new guidance revealing that there is no evidence that taking vitamin supplements can prevent dementia. TheHealthSite.com ...
Summary: Researchers reveal that reduced dynamic brain flexibility, or “flattened” network dynamics, not only distinguishes psychiatric patients from healthy controls, but tracks individual symptom ...
The new facility will be constructed on the Upper West Side, where Ackman has just purchased two buildings for a planned 700,000 square foot institute.
