Brain cells follow an internal rhythm during memory formation and recall, researchers find

A large-scale study from the University of Michigan and University of Minnesota finds no evidence for a long-believed association between musical training and enhanced neural processing of sounds at the early stages of auditory processing.

Cedars-Sinai physician-scientists joined peers from around the world at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference in July. The scientific presentations at the conference included data from clinical trials of potential therapies for the neurodegenerative disease.

When cells expire, they leave behind an activity log of sorts: RNA expelled into blood plasma that reveals changes in gene expression, cellular signaling, tissue injury and other biological processes.

After Russia's full-scale invasion, thousands of patients have been transferred from Ukraine to other European countries. A study by the University of Helsinki and HUS Helsinki University Hospital showed that 8% of Ukrainian refugees had been hospitalized due to war injuries. Almost 80% of them carried multidrug resistant (MDR) bacteria.

Planetary health and human health are closely interconnected. What harms the environment, whether in the short or long term, also affects human health. With this planetary health approach, a pioneering study in Spain has quantified for the first time the health damage caused by the environmental impacts of our food demand. The results reveal that the consumption of meat, fish and seafood, and dairy products accounts for 55% of the damage to human health.

Pioneering research has uncovered a cunning way to curry favor with diners' food choices, so they're more likely to select meals which have a much lower carbon footprint and reduced fat content.

A paper published in BMJ Open led by researchers from the University of Birmingham highlights how few studies conducted into athlete help-seeking for mental health have looked into support provided by semi-formal sources such as coaches, with the majority of research conducted on formal sources.

New preclinical research in Neuropsychopharmacology focuses on the unique mechanism and site of action of evenamide as a potential treatment for schizophrenia.

Dr. Anis Ahmed, clinical lead in psychiatry at Aston Medical School, has co-written an article looking at the mental health challenges for the victims of "enforced disappearances."

Mitochondria, the tiny organelles without which our bodies would be deprived of energy, are gradually revealing their mysteries. In a study published in Nature Neuroscience, researchers from Inserm and the University of Bordeaux at the NeuroCentre Magendie, in collaboration with researchers from the Université de Moncton in Canada, have for the first time succeeded in establishing a causal link between mitochondrial dysfunction and the cognitive symptoms associated with neurodegenerative diseases.

For more than 30 years, scientists have studied how the myogenic determination gene number 1 (MYOD) protein binds DNA to modify the gene expression of muscle stem cells. Similar to the instant kung fu education Keanu Reeves downloaded in "The Matrix," MYOD plugs into muscle stem cell DNA and reprograms the cells to build muscle.

Targeting cellular structures called nuclear speckles could be a completely new approach for treating proteinopathies—diseases driven by abnormal accumulation of misfolded proteins—such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and prion diseases, according to new research published in Nature Communications and led by the University of Pittsburgh.

A new study from the Gray Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences at Tel Aviv University may mark a breakthrough in the treatment of Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE)—a chronic inflammatory disease of the esophagus caused by food allergies. EoE leads to difficulty swallowing, chest and abdominal pain, and even growth delays in children. Its prevalence has been steadily increasing over the past decade in Israel and the Western world.

Parents of children diagnosed with type 1 diabetes suffer an income drop in the years following the diagnosis. The impact is more pronounced in mothers, especially mothers of children diagnosed in preschool years. These findings from a study led by researchers at Uppsala University, Sweden, have now been published in Diabetologia.

Creatine supplementation is booming among those seeking greater muscle size and performance.

A researcher at The University of Texas at Arlington is helping a leading national cancer center explore how wearable devices could help childhood cancer survivors avoid long-term health complications such as diabetes and heart disease.

University of Jaén investigators report significant reductions in anxiety and increased life satisfaction in adults through laughter therapy across 33 clinical trials.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)'s top vaccine regulator is returning to his post less than two weeks after the White House had him ousted.
