The consumption of diet beverages is very hazardous for the human brain. Many research and studies have found that there are a lot of serious risks related to the consumption of diet beverages.
New York: The state of a woman’s immune system during pregnancy may shape the connectivity of her child’s brain, suggests a study, emphasising the influence of maternal health on a child’s susceptibility to psychiatric disorders later in life. The findings showed that short and long-term brain functioning can be influenced by immune system activity during […]
London: If you thought a good meal satisfies only your taste buds, you could not be further from the truth. New research suggests that our brain rewards twice per meal — once when you eat and then again when the food reaches your stomach. The findings published in the journal Cell Metabolism suggest that a […]
New York: A bigger brain alone cannot guarantee you a pass to the best jobs in the world as researchers have found that an increase in brain volume contributes very little to a person’s intelligence and educational attainment. The study, published in the journal Psychological Science, was based on MRI-derived information about brain size in […]
London: Spending long periods in space not only leads to muscle atrophy and reductions in bone density, it also has lasting effects on the brain, suggests a study. The study, led by a team of neuroscientists from the University of Antwerp in Belgium and Ludwig-Maximilians-University (LMU) of Munich, showed that differential changes in the three […]
New York: Immune cells in the brain, that are usually ignored by neuroscientists, play a powerful role in influencing an animal’s sexual behaviour towards male or female, according to a research. The researchers found that oestrogen, which plays a major role in development of masculine traits in rats, activates mast cells — a type of […]
New York: Scientists have identified a fluid drainage system in the brain that sheds light on the underlying mechanisms of brain ageing and age-related Alzheimer’s disease. The study demonstrated that meningeal lymphatic vessels in the brain play an essential role in maintaining a healthy homeostasis in ageing brains and could be a new target for […]
New York: Anorexia nervosa — an eating disorder that makes people obsessive about their weight — could alter the brain circuits and impact its taste-reward processing mechanisms, especially for sugar, a study has found. While most people like sweet tasting things, those with eating disorders associate the taste with weight gain and try to avoid […]
London: Spoiling your old dogs in their twilight years by retiring them to the sofa will not help, instead, letting them play games on a touch screen may boost their brain skills and stave off cognitive decline, finds a study. Similar to humans, regular brain training and lifelong learning create positive emotions that can slow […]
New York: A team of US neuroscientists has identified “anxiety cells” in the brains of mice, an advance that may boost the treatment of humans suffering from anxiety disorders. The researchers found the cells inside a structure called the hippocampus, a region of the brain vital for learning and memory. But the cells probably exist […]
New York: Eating one to two servings of salad with spinach, lettuce and kale daily may keep your brain 11 years younger as well as prevent dementia, according to a study. The study found that people who ate at least one serving of green, leafy vegetables a day had a slower rate of decline on tests […]
London: People suffer from major depressive disorders due to alterations in the activity and connectivity of brain systems underlying reward and memory, says a new research. The findings, published in the journal Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging, provide clues as to which regions of the brain could be at the root of symptoms, such […]
New York: Brain structures that control aggressive and sexual behaviour are controlled differently in females, but they tend to overlap in males, a new study has found. Male circuits for sex and aggression were earlier traced to a distinct part of the hypothalamus, known as the ventromedial hypothalamus, or VMHvl — located on the underside […]
New York: Turning conventional wisdom on its head, researchers including one of Indian-origin, have found that the excessive burst of new brain cells after a traumatic head injury that scientists have traditionally believed helped in recovery could instead lead to epileptic seizures and long-term cognitive decline. The findings published in the journal Stem Cell Reports […]
New York: As the brain begins to shrink with age, it increases communication between the two brain hemispheres to help older people compensate for the negative aspects of ageing, new research has found. “This study provides an explicit test of some controversial ideas about how the brain reorganises as we age,” said lead author Simon […]
