The neuroscience of ADHD: Understanding the brain’s impact on choices

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, ADHD, is much more than about being more or less attentive. This neurodivergence is linked to changes in the brain like time perception, reward processing, and executive functions. The role of the brain in ADHD People with ADHD show differences in brain areas like the prefrontal cortex

Dance like nobody’s watching - because It’s good for you (warning - not really that neurosciency)

Who knew your solo kitchen dance parties, while cooking, could double as exercise? A study looked at the fitness benefits of free form solo dancing. It showed that adults, even pretty old ones, can groove their way to better health. The Study Participants ages 18 - 83, with varying levels

Neuroscience breakthrough: Connecting microscope, molecules and brain imaging

Understanding how molecules, genes, proteins, and structures in the brain cell communicate across the brain's vast network is one of neuroscience's greatest ambitions - and difficulties. While significant advances have been made in cataloging the brain’s molecular components and mapping its connections through imaging, a

Beyond single solutions: The future is multimodal

Neurotechnology is evolving rapidly. Now, moving beyond the experimental stage in the lab, to offer advanced devices in real-life solutions for neurological and psychiatric disorders. Recent innovations are making it possible to treat conditions like Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, spinal cord injuries, and depression more effectively through techniques that

How brain networks transform from birth to childhood

How brain networks transform from birth to childhood

The brain's grey matter is involved in higher-order functions like memory, attention, language, and conscious perception. It contains the brain cells and the synapses that process and interpret incoming signals. Networks in the gray matter undergo complex transformations from neonatal age to childhood. The transformation supports the rapid

Migraine relief in kids: Room for more treatments

Migraine is a common yet often debilitating issue among children and teenagers and as kids approach adolescence, migraines become more frequent, particularly among girls. Migraines in young people do not just bring pain; they impact daily life, school performance, and social activities. Studies also suggest that having migraines in youth

Closer or farther? How the brain processes social and spatial distances

When we interact with others, most of our social energy is directed toward a small group of individuals. We feel almost physically closer to them. Research suggests that the way our brain processes these emotionally closer people differs from how we process those further removed in our social networks, much
