| Study finds novel evidence that dreams reflect multiple memories, anticipate future events Posted: 08 Jun 2021 05:37 PM PDT Dreams result from a process that often combines fragments of multiple life experiences and anticipates future events, according to novel evidence from a new study. |
| Taking short breaks may help our brains learn new skills Posted: 08 Jun 2021 12:45 PM PDT In a study of healthy volunteers, researchers have mapped out the brain activity that flows when we learn a new skill, such as playing a new song on the piano, and discovered why taking short breaks from practice is a key to learning. |
| Discovery of circadian rhythm gene in mice could lead to breakthroughs Posted: 08 Jun 2021 12:44 PM PDT Scientists have identified a novel gene, Per2AS, that controls the sleep/wake cycle in mice. Per2AS appears to be a new type of gene, known as a non-coding gene. Unlike most other genes, Per2AS is not translated from RNA into a subsequent protein, thus making its function unclear until now. |
| Artificial intelligence enhances efficacy of sleep disorder treatments Posted: 08 Jun 2021 08:32 AM PDT An algorithm based on 20,000 nights of sleep that can improve the diagnosis, treatment and our overall understanding of sleep disorders has been developed. |
| A drug from resin to combat epileptic seizures Posted: 08 Jun 2021 08:32 AM PDT New molecules have promising properties as possible drugs against epilepsy. A study shows that several of the molecules have antiseizure effects. |
| Weak brain waves may warn of age-related neurodegenerative disease Posted: 08 Jun 2021 08:32 AM PDT Weakened electrical signals in the brain may be an early warning sign of age-related neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. |
| Men with sensory loss are more likely to be obese Posted: 08 Jun 2021 08:32 AM PDT Men who suffer sensory loss, particularly hearing loss, are more likely to be physically inactive and obese than women, according to a new study. |
| Exercise likely to be best treatment for depression in coronary heart disease Posted: 08 Jun 2021 08:32 AM PDT A study indicates that exercise is probably the most effective short-term treatment for depression in people with coronary heart disease, when compared to antidepressants and psychotherapy or more complex care. |
| People who have trouble sleeping are at a higher risk of dying early - especially diabetics Posted: 08 Jun 2021 06:23 AM PDT People with sleep problems are at an increased risk of dying young, finds a new study. |
| First glimpse of brains retrieving mistaken memories observed Posted: 08 Jun 2021 06:22 AM PDT Scientists have observed for the first time what it looks like in the key memory region of the brain when a mistake is made during a memory trial. The findings have implications for Alzheimer's disease research and advancements in memory storage and enhancement, with a discovery that also provides a view into differences between the physiological events in the brain during a correct memory versus a faulty one. |
| Sugar overload may be a recipe for long-term problems Posted: 08 Jun 2021 06:22 AM PDT Children who consume too much sugar could be at greater risk of becoming obese, hyperactive, and cognitively impaired, as adults, according to the results of a new study. |
| Researchers discover a new cause for the cerebral cavernous malformation Posted: 08 Jun 2021 05:39 AM PDT Researchers have recently uncovered a new gene mutation responsible for the non-familial patients of cerebral cavernous malformation (CCM) -- a brain vascular disorder which inflicted about 10-30 million people in the world. |
| Experiment evaluates the effect of human decisions on climate reconstructions Posted: 07 Jun 2021 05:46 AM PDT The first double-blind experiment analysing the role of human decision-making in climate reconstructions has found that it can lead to substantially different results. |
