New neuroscientific research reveals how mental exhaustion alters human decision-making by mapping the specific brain circuits responsible for turning people away from demanding tasks.

A study of 27,375 participants reveals that metabolic syndrome markers are linked to accelerated brain ageing, with severity increasing per component.

A Stanford Medicine-led study finds that while neurotypical teens become more responsive to unfamiliar voices, adolescents with autism do not. Instead, autistic teens show an increased neurological response to their mother's voice as they mature.

Scientists at the Shenyang Institute of Automation have created a microneedle patch for real-time dopamine monitoring, highlighting the distinction between clinical technology and unregulated wellness products.

A study in PLOS Biology reveals that the auditory cortex plays a causal role in interval-based timing by communicating with the posterior striatum. This discovery shifts our understanding of how sensory input is converted into precisely timed motor actions.

Neurological research suggests that specific anti-inflammatory and antioxidant-rich foods can support brain function and mitigate cognitive decline. Experts are also investigating how dopamine system damage contributes to long COVID symptoms.

Elite tennis players overcome the limitations of human reaction time by utilizing neural predictive models to anticipate serve direction before the ball is struck.

A study from Southern Medical University and Macquarie University suggests bumblebees display expressions of pleasure and distaste based on internal needs.

Scientists have identified the hypothalamic sleep switch that triggers growth hormone pulses during non-REM sleep. This discovery provides insights into how sleep-driven hormonal repair affects metabolic health and neurological conditions.
