Rutgers Institute for Health researcher lead a study examining the impact of educational attainment on cognition later in life.
Brain science researchers at Washington University in St. Louis are studying how the brain perceives, processes, and remembers everyday events.
As scientists across every field grapple with what AI will mean for their work, physician scientist Michael Halassa, an associate professor of neuroscience at Tufts University School of Medicine, is focused on how it could transform the study of cognitive processing, mental illness, and psychiatric medicine.
Dr. Jacqueline Gottlieb from Columbia University shares groundbreaking insights into the science of curiosity. Known for her research on cognition and decision-making, Dr. Gottlieb explains that curiosity isn’t just about learning—it’s a complex process where our brains assess uncertainty and prioritize valuable information
Mount Sinai researchers have discovered for the first time a neural mechanism for memory integration that stretches across both time and personal experience.
University of Wisconsin–Madison researchers are warning that artificial intelligence tools gaining popularity in the fields of genetics and medicine can lead to flawed conclusions about the connection between genes and physical characteristics, including risk factors for diseases like diabetes.The faulty predictions are linked to researchers’ use of AI to assist genome-wide association studies.
Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) is conducting research on the development of an AI technology that can evaluate and predict brain function degeneration and brain-related diseases such as mild cognitive impairment, dementia, etc., by analyzing the speech utterances of the elderly that can be obtained through their daily conversations.
By measuring the brain’s electrical signals, researchers in the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology's Cognition and Brain Lab explore how the brain links sensory information to meaning and memory.
A groundbreaking study by researchers at Florida State University’s Gut Biome Lab has revealed a potential link between an infection caused by gut bacteria and the progression of Alzheimer’s disease.
Researchers at the UNC School of Medicine show how sleep loss during early life impacts key aspects of brain development and how it can increase one’s risk for developing autism spectrum disorder.
Epidemiology professor Daniel Harris is leading research on the link between shingles and dementia in nursing home residents. The $1.7 million study examines the impact of the Shingrix vaccine on dementia risk and other neurological issues among 3.5 million residents.
Older adults with mild cognitive impairment showed greater resistance to brain blood flow compared to those without cognitive impediments.
Scientists from Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University found out that prolonged mental load led to decrease of functional connectivity between frontal and parietal lobes of brain, that is followed by decrease of efficiency of information processing.
At a glance: Study in mice reveals rapid release of dopamine is not needed for initiating movement but is important for activities related to reward-seeking and motivation. The findings help explain why the widely used Parkinson’s drug levodopa improves movement-related symptoms but often fails to ameliorate some cognitive ones. The work may inform the development of new therapies that restore both slow and fast dopamine action to treat multiple symptoms.
A person’s IQ during high school is predictive of alcohol consumption later in life, according to a study by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers published in Alcohol and Alcoholism. Participants with higher IQ levels were significantly more likely to be moderate or heavy drinkers, as opposed to abstaining.
English learner students represent the fastest growing student group in the United States over the past two decades, with numbers of EL students in public schools soaring in “new destination” states across the South and Midwest.
