Researchers at the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences at Case Western Reserve University have made a groundbreaking discovery in the treatment of schizophrenia. By identifying a specific target in brain function, they have potentially changed the way young patients are treated for the condition. According

Prolonged effects of COVID-19 infection have been observed in many individuals, with a significant proportion experiencing persistent neuropsychological symptoms, including brain fog. A recent study has shed light on these symptoms, highlighting the importance of addressing the biopsychosocial components of post-acute COVID-19 syndrome (PACS). Researchers from the Institute for Rehabilitation

Perception researchers at Johns Hopkins University have developed novel artificial intelligence-generated images that appear to be one thing but reveal a different form when rotated. These "visual anagrams" hold promise for studying human visual perception and have already yielded insights into how people process real-world size effects. Key

A recent study published in the Epilepsy & Behavior journal has shed new light on the effectiveness of frontal lobe epilepsy surgery in pediatric and adolescent patients. Researchers from the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, conducted a retrospective review of 25 patients who underwent resective or ablative frontal lobe surgery
Alzheimer's disease
Researchers at the University of Navarra, Spain, have uncovered a paradoxical metabolic landscape in Alzheimer's disease, where the brain's energy demands rise due to accumulated damage and stress, yet overall energy expenditure remains stable or declines with age. The study suggests that astrocytes, strategic energy sensors,

A new study published in Neurobiology of Disease has shed light on the pathologic effects of temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), a disorder characterized by seizures and cognitive inefficiencies. Researchers at Thomas Jefferson University used resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DW-MRI) to detect dynamic brain

Research has shown that traditional communication methods and language may not be effective in reaching African American, Latino, and other minoritized communities. A new study explores learnings from UsAgainstAlzheimer's work, funded through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Healthy Brain Initiative, on how to

Researchers have made significant progress in using exhaled breath condensate (EBC) as a noninvasive diagnostic tool for brain diseases, particularly Parkinson's disease. A recent study published in the Chemical Engineering Journal has demonstrated the potential of EBC-based metabolomics in identifying biomarkers for central nervous system (CNS) disorders. The

A new study led by McGill University researchers has discovered that people who use both cannabis and tobacco show distinct brain changes compared to those who use cannabis alone. These changes may help explain why people who use both substances often report increased depression and anxiety, and why quitting cannabis

A groundbreaking new study published in The Lancet has shed new light on gluten sensitivity, revealing that many people who believe they are gluten-intolerant may actually be suffering from a different condition altogether. The review research distinguishes between coeliac disease, an autoimmune disease triggered by gluten, and non-coeliac gluten sensitivity
Alzheimer's disease
As we age, the risks of neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease rise, and the brain's volume shrinks in size, losing both grey and white matter over time. A recent study published in PNAS on October 13, 2025, has revealed that the brain's shrinking pace
