Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is a promising non-invasive neuroimaging technique that works by detecting changes in blood oxygenation linked to neural activity using near-infrared light. Compared to fMRI and various other methods commonly used to study the brain, fNIRS is easier to apply outside of laboratory settings.
An innovative study by University of Manchester researchers has shown that mothers' feelings of being overwhelmed and unhappiness, not fathers', are directly associated with their children's feelings of nervousness, worry and unhappiness.
Joint replacement surgery has advanced dramatically thanks to new materials, techniques, and technology. Procedures are safer, less invasive, and require less recovery time. There have also been great advancements in technology used to remotely monitor how patients recover from joint replacement surgery, also known as arthroplasty. However, these technologies have not yet been widely implemented.
IRCCS Ospedale Policlinico San Martino with Mayo Clinic and multiple international cancer research centers have delivered a pooled analysis indicating that colon cancer recurrence risk drops below 0.5% by year six after surgery, offering a practical definition of cure.
Monday night's ABC Four Corners' investigation highlighted major issues with the regulation of online gambling in Australia.
Consumers could soon be using their phones to scan fruit and vegetables for freshness and nutrition with the aid of nanotechnology that measures vitamin C concentration.
New research from Edith Cowan University (ECU), Curtin University and the University of Western Australia has found no evidence that calcium monotherapy increases the long-term risk for dementia, helping to dispel previous concerns about its potential negative effects on brain health in older women.
Younger generations are turning away from alcohol at unprecedented rates, with Generation Z driving a cultural shift that could reshape Australia's drinking landscape and deliver major public health gains if the trend continues, say researchers.
Monash University researchers are using the power of consumer AI to evaluate the safety and repurposing potential of medicines.
New research from the University of Adelaide has found almost 60% of adolescent invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) survivors have long-term psychological conditions in subsequent years.
AI, omics, and systems biology can now help scientists design targeted drugs for cardiovascular disease pathways once thought "untreatable."
In a powerful fusion of AI and neuroscience, researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and Allen Institute designed an AI model that has created one of the most detailed maps of the mouse brain to date, featuring 1,300 regions/subregions.
A new drug combination could significantly delay the progression of a life-threatening form of prostate cancer in men with specific genetic mutations, finds a major international trial led by UCL researchers.
How important is mobility to our health and well-being in later life? How safe are older people on the road? Should drivers have a driving or medical test when they reach a certain age? If older people give up driving, how do they get around?
Federal health officials late Monday warned people not to eat certain Hello Fresh subscription meal kits containing spinach that may be contaminated with listeria.
You might expect that senior citizens treated at walk-in care clinics would say what matters most to them is their health.
A good night's sleep has long been understood to help us consolidate new memories, but we don't understand how. Associations with negative feelings like fear or stress can improve recall, but intentionally trying to remember can also be effective. But these two mechanisms are very different—one involuntary, one deliberate. Which influences memory most?
Research led by the University of Cambridge has found the first clear evidence that the "good" gut bacteria Bifidobacterium breve in pregnant mothers regulates the placenta's production of hormones critical for a healthy pregnancy.
A research team co-led by the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) and West China Hospital Sichuan University (WCHSU), working with partners in the UK, has demonstrated a nanotechnology strategy that reverses Alzheimer's disease in mice.
