A new study reveals a connection between early life trauma and adult brain aging. Adults reporting severe childhood stress ...

The dominant theory in neuroscience has been that the sensory processing circuits in our brain are finalized in early ...

Introduction Burnout among healthcare professionals remains a critical public health issue linked to impaired cognition, emotional exhaustion and diminished clinical performance. Structured breathing ...

New research suggests that super-agers generate twice as many neurons as typical older adults. But you don't have to be a ...

Executive function and morality are not tied together, although society may connect the two. Skills like time management are ...

Discover how white matter changes in the brain can predict aging trajectories and cognitive decline in individuals.

Scientists have identified prematurely aged astrocytes in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients, particularly those with the APOE4 risk gene. Their findings suggest that cellular senescence in these ...

Forget superpowers, your brain may already have one. Studies show people can train echolocation and detect objects using nothing but reflected sound.

Researchers found that nonsense-mediated mRNA decay, via the UPF2 protein, is crucial for neuronal migration and cortical ...

Understanding how a healthy brain works can provide insight into how it fails, too. Scientists hope that studying organoids derived from humans with neurodevelopmental disorders — particularly ...

The cerebral cortex, the brain's outermost region responsible for higher cognitive functions, depends on a highly ordered, layered structure. Its proper development requires newly generated neurons to ...

Researchers discover that the RNA surveillance system NMD and the protein UPF2 are essential for guiding neuronal migration and forming the brain's layered cortex.
