For the first time, a study on Thursday showed that ambient particulate matter air pollution is a top risk factor for subarachnoid haemorrhage -- a type of brain stroke -- at par with smoking.
US researchers have identified a protein responsible for causing fatigue in people with long Covid, Alzheimer's and other diseases.
According to the non-profit organisation Understood.org, about 63 per cent of adults with a learning or thinking difference wish they had been diagnosed earlier in life.
US researchers have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that shows differences in how the brains of men and women are organised at a cellular level.
A small study of brain autopsies has provided evidence that prolonged exposure to air pollution may raise the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.
The findings of the study were published in the journal 'Communications Biology'. The researchers used a virtual-reality environment where volunteers were in a meadow picking flowers. They knew that some flowers are safe, while others have a bee inside that will sting them.
A team of scientists in the US successfully created a form of artificial vision for a 60-year- old woman, who was fully blind for more than 16 years, using a prosthesis hardwired into her brain.
The device uses ultra-sensitive quantum sensors to pick up these tiniest of magnetic fields to see inside the brain in order to map neural activity.
The logical and critical thinking concepts learnt in a mathematics class can be applied to everyday life.
In an article in Cell, the US National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded researchers described how they used advanced genetic engineering techniques to transform a bacterial protein into a new research tool that may help monitor serotonin transmission with greater fidelity than current methods.
