This is in continuation to the last article focusing on neural system and mechanisms of neural coordination in a human body. Today, we will discuss the Central Neural System with focus on brain. Transmission of impulses • When an impulse (action potential) arrives at the axon terminal, it stimulates the movement of the synaptic vesicles […]

New Orleans: Researchers have found that subjects infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus displayed signs of severe brain inflammation and injury consistent with a reduction in blood or oxygen flow into the brain, neuron damage and small areas of bleeding. Researchers at Tulane University have explained how COVID-19 affects the central nervous system of human beings. […]

Hyderabad: Last year, I had written about the Mandala art form where drawing and colouring can take our minds off the unnecessary, worrying thoughts. When Omicron threatened our lives all over again, a friend suggested neurographic art to calm our frayed nerves. People ask ‘how can art help?’ Well, research over the years has shown […]

SanFrancisco: A new study has suggested that subtle changes in the structure and the diastolic function of a person’s heart between early adulthood and middle age may be associated with a decline in thinking and memory skills. The research was published in the online issue of ‘Neurology’, the medical journal of the American Academy of […]

Washington: A team of scientists has shown that the healthy brain is able to multitask while walking without sacrificing how either activity is accomplished. The study has been published in the ‘NeuroImage Journal’. “This research shows us that the brain is flexible and can take on additional burdens,” said David Richardson, an MD/PhD student in […]

According to dailymail.co.uk, the firm is hiring a clinical trial director, which says the right candidate will "work closely with some of the most innovative doctors and top engineers, as well as working with Neuralink's first Clinical Trial participants".

An area within the cerebrum known as the retrosplenial cortex (RSC), they found, is the site that we use to make value choices such as which restaurant we decide to visit for tonight's dinner.

A good education is an excellent way to embark on a successful career and develop your personality.

The study found significant changes in brain function in areas associated with sexual stimulation and also more traditional meditation practices - thus representing a true hybrid in terms of its effects.

But the most identifiable moment of the scans was not locked to a particular time point, which may have to do with how our brains naturally cycle their activity, the team suspect.

There are many children who fail to get sound sleep at night and feel lethargic and are unable to focus on studies during day time.

A team from the University of Texas at Austin, the US, discovered the fossil, which is nearly 70 million years old and has a nearly complete skull a rare occurrence in the fossil record that allowed

The patient was suffering with a rare disorder of blood vessels of brain called as Dural Arteriovenous Fistula

The new findings that are published in the Journal of Neuroscience identify a potential contributor to microcephaly, a birth defect in which the head is underdeveloped and abnormally small.

Disease often manifests in skin and also affects lungs and brain

The baby girl was born with a large cystic swelling arising from the back of her head and the swelling, which was increasing in size since birth, grew to such an extent that it was almost larger than the size of the head itself.

Paper wasps a social insect recognises the brightly coloured faces of other paper wasps. But, when reared in isolation, they tend to lose the ability, according to researchers from Cornell University

Contrary to the popular belief that digital tools increase efficiency, volunteers who used paper completed the note-taking task about 25 per cent faster than those who used digital tablets.

The researchers found that 70-year-olds who had experienced a serious head injury more than 15 years earlier performed slightly worse than expected on cognitive test.

"Glutamate is an essential neurotransmitter for neuronal communication, learning and memory processes, yet above a certain concentration, it becomes toxic to neuronal cells," said researcher
