Brain signals from cerebellum can control prosthetic devices

A new study from the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus finds that older adults become more socially active after moving into long-term care communities like nursing homes or assisted living facilities but we might not all benefit equally.

They should be in a hospital bed, getting care to help them recover from a medical emergency.

Deep in your memory, your brain has created a playlist of music from your teenage years. Even though life has moved on, hearing that music now likely still brings up some really powerful emotions.

How risk-averse are you? The answer might be based on how you and your brain adapted to the environment you grew up in, according to researchers in the College of Human Ecology (CHE).

Mitochondria are specialized structures within cells that are primarily responsible for energy production but that also play a key role in how cells respond and adapt to stress. When their function fails, particularly in energy-demanding tissues like brown fat, the entire organism must adapt.

Scientists at the National Institute of Biological Sciences, Beijing report that two pore-forming proteins from the common mold Alternaria alternata puncture airway epithelial membranes and initiate signals that drive allergic airway inflammation.

The Presidential Fitness Test is returning to U.S. schools after more than a decade.

Why do young children often miss the emotions behind adult expressions? A pioneering study led by researcher Xie Wanze from Peking University's School of Psychological and Cognitive Sciences, in collaboration with professor Seth Pollak from the University of Wisconsin, reveals that the answer lies in a cognitive shift.

A preclinical study led by the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai challenges the assumption that blocking the NCX1 protein, which regulates calcium levels in cells, is more effective than maintaining its activity during a heart attack to limit damage.

A cell therapy preserves muscle structure and function in laboratory mice with a type of disease similar to Duchenne muscular dystrophy, according to new research from the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai.

New research has uncovered a novel mechanism that may help explain why some people with cancer respond remarkably well to immunotherapy while others don't.

Researchers from the University of California San Diego have found that a novel treatment called regulation of cues combined with behavioral weight loss (ROC+BWL) was more effective than standard cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in reducing binge-eating among veterans with overweight or obesity. The benefits of the new treatment were sustained even six months after treatment ended, particularly for veterans with Binge-Eating Disorder (BED).

When given nutritionally matched diets, participants lost twice as much weight eating minimally processed foods compared to ultra-processed foods, suggesting that cutting down on processing could help to sustain a healthy weight long term, finds a new clinical trial led by researchers at UCL and UCLH.

Arousal—how alert or excited one feels—is a basic part of emotions, along with whether those emotions are positive or negative. Scientists still don't fully understand how the brain creates these feelings of arousal, or if the brain uses the same or different systems for emotional arousal compared to states such as being awake or having a bodily reaction.

Falls pose a significant risk to older adults, often resulting in injuries that lead to other health problems, decreased independence, and a lower quality of life. They also pose a considerable burden on the health care system—fall-related injuries are associated with an increased use of services, making them among the most expensive medical conditions to treat.

She's 6 years old, lives in Brisbane and might just be one of the best resilience coaches on television.

Vaccination against shingles increased among adults age 50 and older in the U.S. during the COVID-19 pandemic, but not equally across all population groups. That's the key finding from a new study my colleagues and I published in the journal Vaccine.

Sauna bathing is booming in Australia. Once considered a luxury experience or only a Nordic tradition, saunas are now part of the everyday for many Australians. They're commonly found in gyms, hotels, leisure centers, and even in homes.
