SARS-CoV-2 targets not only the lungs, but as well as the brain, heart, and other organs causing more people to cope with Long COVID symptoms even after being treated with the infection.
New research recently suggested that the role of Fragile X mental retardation protein or FMRP is more sophisticated compared to what was previously known. Essentially, looking at memory neurons in the mouse brain's hippocampus region, Rockefeller researchers discovered that the FMRP protein has two different tasks.
Some outbreaks of the Ebola virus in Africa have been associated with persistent infection in patients who had survived past outbreaks, senior author of a recently published paper Xiankun "Kevin" Zeng said.
The man describes the growing black mold in his brain as "two little dark circles of doom" due to the abscesses and severe symptoms it has caused him for the past four years.
A new study recently focused on the half-dozen sub-regions of the surface layer of the brain, also called the cerebral cortex, as they are known to regulate how people are moving their mouth, lips, and tongue to form words and to play a role in processing what they hear they, themselves are saying.
Science writer Florence Williams consulted experts on how heartbreak could lead to physiological symptoms and investigates ways of how emotions can impact the body as a whole.
A new study suggests that people do not see the world in real-time as the brain keeps people seeing what happened 15 seconds ago to create the illusion of stability.
Older adults could maintain their brain and cognition healthy by physical exercise because it keeps the integrity of synapses intact, according to a new study.
A new study supports the hypothesis that the brains of men and women are different after finding genes that are more active in one gender than the other which increases risk of brain disorders.
Scientists found that the brain pays more attention to unfamiliar voices during non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep, indicating that it can learn even while asleep although it could do more harm than help because it should be at rest.
Researchers recorded how brain cells of a zebrafish light up when storing memories in which findings can help develop new treatments for PTSD and neurodegenerative disorders.
A team of scientists found that an olfactory receptor gene responsible for the sense of smell helps with the metastasis of breast cancer to the brain and other parts of the body.
About 70 years ago, the idea that "neurons that fire together wire together" gained popularity. Now, scientists try to explain the concept from the perspective of computational neuroscience.
A new study could be an essential step in making an emergency treatment known as brain stimulation that's responsive to daily changes in obsessive-compulsive disorder symptoms.
Researchers from Flinders University found that the brain of an ancient big-headed fish had given insights on evolution, particularly on how the fish first left the waters and invaded the land.
Scientists genetically modified a transparent jellyfish to make its neurons glow and they could study how it works to give new insights into human minds.
A lot of people are saying they've had an encounter with extraterrestrial life and now, reports are saying their brains are currently being analyzed and a professor said, there are signs seen in these individuals.
