Neurosciences
New research suggests that proprioception, the sense of bodily awareness, plays a vital role in stabilizing and protecting the body, and may even contribute to the emergence of body awareness and motor awareness. A study by researchers at the University of Pavia in Italy found that reduced proprioceptive abilities predict
Neurosciences
As the global population ages, the ability to navigate and orient in space becomes increasingly compromised. A recent study published in Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience has shed light on the effects of aging on spatial orientation abilities, revealing a significant impairment in the horizontal plane. Researchers from the German Center
Autism spectrum disorders
Researchers from the California Institute of Behavioral Neurosciences & Psychology conducted a narrative review to evaluate the effectiveness of early intensive behavioral and developmental interventions (EIBIs) on cognitive, language, adaptive, and social outcomes in children under seven years of age with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The study aimed to identify
Feminine beauty (Aesthetics)
Our brains are hardwired to respond to beauty, releasing the feel-good hormone dopamine when we see an attractive face or align with a specific beauty standard. However, this wiring also makes us vulnerable to the constant shifting of beauty ideals in the digital age. Research shows that our brains can

Diseases
Despite the unprecedented scientific and technological capacity to eradicate and reduce diseases of poverty, a substantial burden of preventable mortality and morbidity persists in low- and middle-income countries. A new study published by the California Institute of Behavioral Neurosciences & Psychology highlights the critical role of structural barriers in hindering
Artificial intelligence
A groundbreaking study in the field of neuroscience and artificial intelligence (AI) has shed light on the rapidly evolving partnership between these two disciplines. According to a recent publication in Seminars in Neurology, the convergence of neuroscience and AI has led to significant advancements in neurological practice, with AI-inspired computational
Mental health
Researchers at the University of Messina in Italy have conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of existing literature on the use of non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques in reducing suicidal ideation. The study, published in AIMS Neuroscience, found that high-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) protocols were associated with a
