Computational models show that even subtle modifications in the synaptic protein CaMKII completely alter the resulting protein structures. Given how the formation and stability of these structures ...

Even a brief time spent on a bedside pedal device has positively impacted an area of the brain related to memory, according to recent research published in Brain Communications. In a study involving ...

The difference between the brain's predicted age and actual chronological age, called a brain age gap, may influence the relationship between cognitive impairment risk factors, like high blood ...

(dowell/Moment/Getty Images) Night shift work is not for the weak. Staying awake from dusk through to dawn, as many nurses, ...

Complex protein interactions at synapses are essential for memory formation in our brains, but the mechanisms behind these processes remain poorly understood. Now, researchers from Japan have ...

Nootropics, often called brain boosters or smart supplements, are widely used to support focus, memory and mental performance. While some supplements show promise, nootropics tend to be more ...

Brain scans suggest long COVID’s biggest clues may lie in the brain’s emotion centers, not widespread inflammation.

A new brain imaging study has found no evidence of widespread brain inflammation in patients suffering from prolonged symptoms after COVID-19 infection. Instead, the most severe long COVID symptoms ...
