A new analysis involving over 13,000 people has found changes to blood vessels in the brain that can increase the risk of stroke and dementia are common in people with a range of heart conditions, regardless...
Sleeping too much or too little is associated with changes in the brain that are known to precede and increase the risk of stroke and dementia later in life, a new study suggests. In one of the largest neuroimaging studies of its kind, researchers at Yale School of Medicine (YSM) examined the brain images of...
by Emily CaldwellEmily Caldwell, The Ohio State University Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public DomainA new study has found that the brain system enabling us to inhibit our own pain changes with age, and that gender-based differences in those changes may lead females to be more sensitive to moderate pain than males as older adults. Researchers used fMRI scans...

by University of California, Los Angeles Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain Brain changes in autism are comprehensive throughout the cerebral cortex rather than just particular areas thought to affect social behavior and language, according to a new UCLA-led study that significantly refines scientists’ understanding of how autism spectrum disorder (ASD) progresses at the molecular level. The...
by University of Aberdeen Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain Changes in areas of the brain associated with emotion have been identified in people with Takotsubo syndrome, sometimes known as broken heart syndrome, according to research by the University of Aberdeen. The study, presented at the British Cardiovascular Society centenary conference in Manchester, also discovered changes in...
UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA For the first time, researchers have shown what happens to the brain when a person receives a depression treatment known as repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS). The results were published today in the American Journal of Psychiatry. rTMS is a depression treatment typically used when other approaches — such as medications — haven’t...
by University of Barcelona Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain Juvenile fibromyalgia is a syndrome characterized by a chronic pain affecting the whole body. It also causes fatigue as well as sleep and mood disorders. It affects children and adolescents—mainly girls—worldwide and it appears during a critical period of the brain development. Analyzing the brain changes that...
