Evidence Links Abnormally Formed Proteins With Schizophrenia Pathology in Some Patients
Abnormally formed proteins may be involved in the pathology that causes schizophrenia in a subset of patients, new research suggests.
Brain study finds circuits that may help you keep your cool
Research by neuroscientists at MIT’s Picower Institute for Learning and Memory helps explain how the brain regulates arousal.
How does the Brain Learn by Talking to Itself?
UNIGE scientists uncover the role of synaptic feedback systems in shaping learning processes in the brain’s cortex – a discovery that may prove valuable for developing efficient artificial intelligence.
Cocaine Adulterant May Cause Brain Damage
People who regularly take cocaine cut with the animal anti-worming agent levamisole demonstrate impaired cognitive performance and a thinned prefrontal cortex. These findings from two recent studies at the University of Zurich indicate that levamisole could have a toxic effect on the brain. Drug-checking programs should therefore be expanded, argue the researchers.
Making Sense of Senses: Researchers Find the Brain Processes Sight and Sound In the Same Two-step Manner
Although sight is a much different sense than sound, Georgetown University Medical Center neuroscientists have found that the human brain learns to make sense of these stimuli in the same way.
