- An association has been identified between a variant of the NAPRT1 gene, which reduces the body’s ability to use Vitamin B3, and schizophrenia. The study reveals there could be a critical interaction …
- Is empathy really on the decline, as a recent study suggests? Researchers investigate how and why people chose to be empathetic, or to avoid empathy, in their daily lives.
- Among older women, lower levels of hydration were associated with lower scores on tests designed to measure attention, working memory, and motor speed. Researchers also found over-hydration may have a …
- Yoga has a positive effect on the structure and function of key brain areas associated with memory. Findings provide evidence that yoga may hold promise in mitigating age-related and neurodegenerative …
- While genetics may increase your risk of developing dementia, other factors such as lifestyle and environment may play a key role in the development and progression of Alzheimer’s disease.
- Chronic insomniacs who pull an all-nighter perform twice as bad on reaction time tests as normal sleepers who forgo a night’s sleep.

- Study investigates how exposure to cold stimuli, such as eating ice cream or drinking an icy drink, can cause headaches.
- CMS121 and J147, two drug candidates that improve memory and slow neurodegeneration associated with Alzheimer’s disease, also slow aging in healthy, older mice. The compounds block damage to neurons c …
- Longitudinal study reveals for most people narcissistic traits such as sensitivity to criticism and imposing your opinion onto others, decreases as we age. However, having high aspirations for yoursel …
- There may be some truth to the common idea that we judge a person’s competence based on the clothes they wear. A new study reveals we perceive a person to have higher levels of competence if the cloth …

- Women who use mifepristone for a medical abortion are at risk of severe hemorrhage if they do not complete the procedure with misoprostol, a new study reports.
- Genetic mutations in Usp9X results in the brain growing fewer synapses during development. The mutation also causes hyperactivity and an increased risk of anxiety. The findings shed new light on the c …
- A new method reveals BPA levels may be more than 44 times higher in humans than previously believed.
- Reducing activity in the anterior cingulate decreases empathetic responses in rats. The data suggests an observer shares the emotions of others as it enables them to prepare for danger.
- The right putamen, a brain area linked to reward, motivation, and feelings of pleasure, is smaller in children with a genetic risk factor for depression. Previous studies implicated reduced putamen vo …
