A study published in the journal “Radiology”, a journal of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA), shows that low-level light therapy appears to affect healing in the brains of people who have suffered severe brain injuries. How Light Therapy Helps With Traumatic Brain Injuries The wound-healing properties of light of different wavelengths have been […]
Brain Tumors Use the Circadian Clock to Grow
Virtually every cell in the human body has an internal clock. These clocks are controlled by a central clock in the brain. In a normal, biological process called synchrony, the central clock coordinates the daily rhythms in the body so that each cell and tissue recognizes the same external time of day. Knowing the local […]
Decoding the Science of Sleep: How Rest Improves Language Learning
Getting enough sleep is important for a variety of reasons, but a team of international scientists has discovered a new incentive to get eight hours of sleep every night: sleep helps the brain to store and learn a new language. A study led by the University of South Australia (UniSA) and published in the Journal […]
New Insights Into Sleep Reveal Key Mechanisms Associated With Cognitive Function
Although it is known that sleep improves cognitive performance, the underlying neural mechanisms, especially in the context of non-REM sleep, are still largely unexplored. A new study by a team of researchers from Rice University and Houston Methodist’s Center for Neural Systems Restoration and Weill Cornell Medical College, coordinated by Valentin Dragoi of Rice University, […]
Anxiety and Depression: The Role of the Amygdala
Treatment for anxiety, depression and other disorders may depend on the amygdala, a part of the brain that controls strong emotional responses, particularly fear. Until now, however, there has been a lack of in-depth understanding of this structure. Now, scientists at the University of California, Davis, have identified new cell clusters with distinct gene expression […]
