Older adults with more severe hearing loss are more likely to suffer from dementia, but the likelihood of developing dementia was lower for those who use hearing aids.

The new method uses an engineered extracellular matrix free of animal components, improving the neurogenesis of brain organoids.

Researchers spotlight the thalamus, typically regarded merely as a relay station, as a pivotal entity in adult brain plasticity.

The study challenges traditional tests for animal self-awareness and highlights the need for more ecologically relevant experiments.

The research indicates that regular caffeine users might experience diminished long-term potentiation (LTP), a crucial process for learning and memory.

Researchers discovered a unique feature of the human brain's communication networks: the transmission of information via multiple parallel pathways, a trait not observed in macaques or mice.

Wounds healed faster when participants believed more time had passed, challenging conventional beliefs about psychological effects on physical health.

Handwriting, compared to typing, results in more complex brain connectivity patterns, enhancing learning and memory.

The study's findings challenge previous beliefs about peer pressure dissipating after adolescence, suggesting ongoing development in managing desires in social contexts.

A new study urges researchers to explore how the smells of nature impact human health and well-being.

A new study reveals that using digital devices to manage children's tantrums hampers their ability to regulate emotions later in life.

A new study reveals that a person's face tends to evolve to suit their name, demonstrating the profound impact of social expectations.

A new study reveals that certain brain cells, known as “concept cells,” in the hippocampus track pronouns to link them with the correct person in a sentence.

A new study has shown that conscious thought relies on synchronized brain rhythms to maintain communication between sensory and cognitive brain regions.

Researchers have developed tiny, wireless devices capable of wrapping around individual neurons, potentially aiding in the treatment of neurological disorders like multiple sclerosis.

Researchers have uncovered a surprising role for astrocytes—cells surrounding neurons—in deciding which memories are kept or forgotten.

Scientists have reprogrammed mouse cells into pluripotent stem cells using a gene from choanoflagellates, single-celled organisms related to animals.
