This discovery could lead to new therapies for maintaining brain health and longevity, particularly in combating cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases. … Continue reading “Brain Energy Boost Mechanism Discovered”
Click here to view original web page at Oxytocin’s Link to Obesity and Postnatal Depression Summary: A new study has identified the TRPC5 gene as a cause of obesity, behavioral issues, and postnatal depression. Researchers found that missing or impaired TRPC5 genes disrupt oxytocin neurons, crucial for regulating appetite and emotions. This discovery offers potential … Continue reading “Oxytocin’s Link to Obesity and Postnatal Depression”

This synchronization depends on physiological responses rather than mood or music preferences. The findings help explain the collective emotional experiences of audiences and suggest … Continue reading “How Music Synchronizes Heart Rates and Collective Emotions”

A study revealed that when memories are based on ‘prototypical’ information, our confidence in them decreases. This awareness helps us accurately assess the reliability … Continue reading “” by Ben Griffiths et al.”

Credit: Neuroscience News Summary: A new study reveals sex differences in how the brain’s reward pathways function, specifically in the hippocampus and nucleus accumbens. Males and females use different molecular mechanisms … Continue reading “Neither sex required dopamine activation, which was surprising, because dopamine is commonly involved in reward-related signaling.

Click here to view original web page at Sleep-Deprived Memories Restored by Common Medications Summary: Researchers have found that sleep deprivation can hide, rather than erase, memories in mice, and that these memories can be restored using existing drugs. The study demonstrated that roflumilast, an asthma medication, could recover social memories, while vardenafil, an erectile … Continue reading “Sleep-Deprived Memories Restored by Common Medications”
Click here to view original web page at Misleading Information on Depression Hampers Understanding Summary: A new study reveals that misleading information about depression is widespread, making it harder for people to grasp the causes of their distress. The study criticizes the circular reasoning used in psychiatric diagnoses, noting that depression is often incorrectly presented … Continue reading “Misleading Information on Depression Hampers Understanding”
