- Your nose may be talking directly to your brain: Scientists uncover a hidden nose-to-brain circuit that could explain why slow breathing calms anxietyScientists found a nose-to-brain pathway affecting emotional states in mice. Slow nasal airflow produced calming effects, while faster airf...
- Why does the human brain take so long to develop? Scientists find a gene that may provide a clue about our extraordinary brainpower, cognitive abilitiesA human-specific gene influences brain immune cell development. These cells, called microglia, mature much slower than in mice. This extend...
- In 1998, NASA flew crickets on Neurolab to study how spaceflight affects developing nervous systems; across the 16-day mission, they joined about 2,000 animals in spaceDuring the Neurolab mission, the space shuttle Columbia hosted 2,000 animals, crickets being one of them, to examine spaceflight's impacts ...
- Science says crows remember faces of people who wronged them, here’s what their brains reveal about animal intelligenceWhen a crow responds to a specific person years after a significant encounter, its behavior suggests that the bird may have retained a memo...
- Psychology says nicotine pouches and anxiety may be more closely connected than you think - Study raises concerns about how nicotine exposure may affect stress, mood and mental health, particularly among adolescentsNicotine pouches are promoted as a tobacco-free alternative to cigarettes. Nicotine stimulates the central nervous system, potentially wors...
- In 2000, Johns Hopkins team treated 18 paralyzed rodents with neural stem cells. 6 years later, the team engineered working motor-neuron circuits in paralyzed adult animals, extending the original findingJohns Hopkins research from 2000 and 2006 represents an important scientific progression in the search for ways to repair damaged nervous s...
- Psychology says people who type notes instead of writing them by hands may process information differently in their brainNew psychology research is shedding light on a familiar habit that has gradually become less common in the digital age. While typing has be...
