| Personality traits are associated with well-being and satisfaction in life after work Posted: 30 Mar 2022 11:14 AM PDT A new study has identified novel associations between older adults' personality traits, the routes they took to leave their jobs, and their well-being after exiting the workforce. |
| Posted: 30 Mar 2022 10:05 AM PDT A new study found that specific genetic mutations occurring in just the right locations in the brain are behind the formation of cavernous angiomas, which can bleed and cause strokes and seizures. |
| Audio files are being used as 'digital drugs', survey suggests Posted: 30 Mar 2022 10:05 AM PDT A new study sheds light on the little-known phenomenon of binaural beats, where sounds purportedly evoke psychoactive effects. |
| Where we grow up influences our sense of direction Posted: 30 Mar 2022 08:13 AM PDT New researcher has demonstrated that people's spatial navigation ability is influenced by their geographical origin.

| Alzheimer‘s: Amyloid and tau are a perilous couple Posted: 30 Mar 2022 07:33 AM PDT In the course of Alzheimer's disease, two proteins called 'amyloid' and 'tau' accumulate in the brain. A new study with more than 200 participants now provides insights into the interaction of these pathological phenomena. The data suggest that tau load in the brain impairs memory functions only when amyloid burden is also high. These findings therefore support therapeutic approaches aimed at removing amyloid from the brain in the early stages of Alzheimer's disease. |
| Stabilizing low blood sugar in infancy prevents long-term brain damage Posted: 30 Mar 2022 07:32 AM PDT Low blood sugar in infancy is serious, but treatment can ward off long-term brain damage in infants, a new study has found. |
| Americans love football, but differ on whether kids should play Posted: 30 Mar 2022 07:32 AM PDT Football may be America's most popular sport, but the nation is deeply divided about whether youth should play the tackle version of the game. |
| Exercise may reduce depression symptoms, boost effects of therapy Posted: 30 Mar 2022 07:17 AM PDT Exercising for half an hour may reduce symptoms of depression for at least 75 minutes post-workout and amplify the benefits of therapy, according to two new studies. |
| Posted: 29 Mar 2022 11:25 AM PDT The poor function of microglia, the brain's immune cells in individuals exposed to early life adversity (ELA) promotes aberrant responses to stress in adulthood that may be linked to mental illness, according to a new study. During brain development, microglia prune unnecessary synapses resulting in the formation of refined, functional circuits. Disruption of that process leaves too many synapses, changing the behavioral and hormonal responses to further stresses later in life. |
