UCR scientists create a fully synthetic model for growing brain cells that could allow for animal-free drug testing.

Omega-3 fatty acids are found in many foods, including fish and nuts. This essential nutrient is crucial for maintaining ...

A new study published in eLife has found that a remarkably rare type of neuron acts as a master conductor for the brain’s ...

Recent studies show the importance of giving the brain healthy breaks — and it may look slightly different than you think. To process information effectively, the brain should function in a specific ...

Researchers have created functional brain-like tissue without relying on any animal-derived materials, marking a major step toward more ethical and reproducible neurological research.

A study from the Institute of Nutrition and Translational Research in Metabolism (NUTRIM) at Maastricht University Medical ...

One of the strongest findings on creatine and stress comes from research on sleep deprivation. A 2024 human trial found that a single high dose of creatine improved cognitive performance after 21 ...

Investigators have created computer-generated models to bridge the gap between 'test tube' data about neurons and the function of those cells in the living brain. Their study could help in the ...

Chronic stress and elevated cortisol levels can damage the body's natural rhythm and disrupt the part of the brain involved ...

Radiation-induced brain injury (RIBI) is a serious and often delayed complication of cranial radiotherapy, which remains a cornerstone in the treatment of brain tumors such as gliomas, metastases, and ...
