Researchers led by Nagoya University in Japan have established that hematocrit, serum cholesterol levels, and blood pressure tend to change in Parkinson’s disease patients long before early motor symptoms appear. This is an important finding that will provide for early diagnosis and treatment of Parkinson’s disease. Parkinson’s disease can be detected early before motor symptoms …
A new study has offered insight into how regularly structured topographic maps in the brain’s visual cortex can arise instinctively to process visual information efficiently. This study offers a new framework for understanding visual cortex functional structures in early developmental phases. Retinal mosaic orthogonal organization replicated in the visual cortex KAIST researchers led by the …

A Baylor University study has provided insight into the global obesity problem by showing that variation in market-acquired foods consumption relative to traditional diet is linked to indigenous Amazonian children’s body fat. Poor diet responsible for obesity development in children Samuel Urlacher, the study’s lead author said that the significance of poor diet compared to …
EPFL scientists have used a snap-freezing method to show the structure of brain connections joining neurons together in human brains. A new study shows size and shape of the dendritic spine determines information transmission Normally, synaptic connections in the brain are located on dendritic spines, which are small, micro protrusions that extend from the neurons’ …
A study by researchers from The Ohio State University College of Medicine and The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Centre had revealed that youths experiencing mood disorders and use marijuana are at high risk of death or self-harm. The findings published the JAMA Pediatrics indicate that this population is at risk of homicide and death …
Nowadays targeted neuromodulation specifically focusing on a patient’s distinctive symptoms is common in the correction of misfiring brain circuits in epileptic or Parkinson’s disease patients. Now, UC San Francisco Dolby Family Centre for Mood Disorders researchers have identified a proprietary personalized neuromodulation way of offering relief from chronic treatment-resistant depression symptoms in minutes. A new …
Over the years neuroscientists globally have tried to get insight into the cognitive and neural processes that underpin artistic expression. Although past studies have identified several brain areas associated with art creations, there is still little know-how on the comprehensive neural processes picture behind artistic cognition. CRNL researchers publish a study on the role of …

Penn State researchers have established that during sleep the brain experiences considerable neural activity and blood flow changes. The researchers indicate that these changes are vital in cleaning metabolic brain waste in the brain. Sleep study for non-REM and REM stages Patrick Drew, Engineering Sciences and Mechanics, Neurosurgery and Biomedical Engineering Associate Professor, said they …

A study published in the journal of Heliyon has shown that mini pigs, which tend to snore more often can be vital in studying obstructive sleep apnea. Yucatan mini pigs have sleep apnea According to the study, obese Yucatan mini pigs have naturally occurring sleep apnea. MRI scans on the pigs while they are in …

A Yale study has revealed that abnormal immune system response leading to multiple sclerosis through the central nervous system attack and damage can be due to particular fatty acids in fat tissue. According to the study published in The Journal of Clinical Investigation, the dietary change could help in treating individuals with autoimmune disease. Dietary …
