Brain imaging biomarker may help predict treatment response in patients with psychiatric disorders, study reveals

Cohen Veterans Bioscience, a non-profit research biotech advancing brain health solutions, today announces findings from a study which generates new evidence in support of a critical brain imaging biomarker, that may help guide people who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder or major depressive disorder towards the most effective treatment.

Parental skin-to-skin contact dampens pain responses in newborn baby's brain

Being held by a parent with skin-to-skin contact reduces how strongly a newborn baby's brain responds to a painful medical jab, finds a new study led by researchers at UCL and York University, Canada.

Researchers investigate molecular mechanism responsible for hypnotic effects of thalidomide

Thalidomide is a medication with several different effects, one of which is promoting sleep in the context of insomnia.

Researchers monitor changes in brain activity associated with learning new words

How much time does a brain need to learn a new word? A team of Skoltech researchers and their colleagues monitored changes in brain activity associated with learning new words and found that cortical representations of the sound and meaning of these words may form in just 1 to 2 hours after exposure without any night's sleep consolidation, as earlier research suggested.

Non-invasive test of brain function could predict treatment response in depressed teen girls

The risk of developing major depressive disorder (MDD) surges during adolescence-particularly for girls. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can be an effective treatment, but only about half of girls diagnosed with depression show significant improvement.

Study shows how auditory perception and motor processes work together

How do people coordinate their actions with the sounds they hear? This basic ability, which allows people to cross the street safely while hearing oncoming traffic, dance to new music or perform team events such as rowing, has puzzled cognitive neuroscientists for years.

Long-term brain monitoring technologies can benefit epilepsy patients

Today, the way a physician gets an idea of how many seizures a person with epilepsy has had is through the patient's own record of seizure activity in his day-to-day life.

New insights into how the brain's internal states influence decision-making

Biomedical Engineering's Matthew Smith and Byron Yu, along with former Ph.D. student Ben Cowley (School of Computer Science '18), have studied the neural basis through which internal states in the brain affect decision-making over an extended period of time.

Study identifies neural connectivity patterns associated with autism in infants

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is rarely diagnosed until symptoms arise, often well into childhood. Evidence however, is mounting that developmental abnormalities likely emerge in the brain long before then: early identification of babies at risk for ASD could allow for interventions that would improve their developmental outcomes.

Individual’s alpha wave frequency can be used as reliable pain indicator, shows study

Rhythms produced by the brain can reliably be used to predict how sensitive we are to pain, new research shows.

New research reveals why some children enjoy TV more than others

Children’s own temperament could be driving the amount of TV they watch – according to new research from the University of East Anglia and Birkbeck, University of London.

Autistic men have greater excitability in social brain regions than women, study reveals

New insight on differences in the brains of men and women with autism has been published today in the open-access journal eLife.

New approach compares changes in neural connectivity using concurrent EEG and fMRI imaging

New research demonstrates how two vastly different methods of measuring brain activity can provide meaningful data on brain networks simultaneously.

RUB neuroscientists assess neuronal activity during stimulation-based learning process

Stimulating the fingertip rhythmically for a sustained period of time, markedly improves touch sensitivity of this finger. A research team led by Associate Professor Dr. Hubert Dinse at Ruhr-Universität Bochum analyzed the impact of this process in the brain.

Dopamine therapy improves cognitive function in patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's

A study supported by the Alzheimer's Drug Discovery Foundation and published today in JAMA Network Open provides the first evidence that rotigotine, a drug that acts on dopamine transmission in the brain, improves cognitive function in patients with mild-to-moderate Alzheimer's disease.
