Intelligence Linked To Overall Brain Activity, Rather Than Specific Region: Study
Researchers at University of Notre Dame reveal evidence for the Network Neuroscience Theory, showing intelligence as system-wide brain coordination for focus, flexibility, and problem-solving.

Immune Cells In Gut Help Spread Parkinsons Disease To Brain: Study
A groundbreaking Nature study from University College London reveals how gut immune cells (macrophages) help toxic proteins spread Parkinsons disease from the gut to the brain.

A Quick Afternoon Nap Can Be As Refreshing As Night-Time Sleep: Study
Researchers at the universities of Freiburg in Germany and Geneva in Switzerland show that even a nap is enough to reorganise connections between nerve cells so that new information can be stored more effectively.

Dietary Fibre Should Get Essential Nutrient Status, Say Top Nutrition Experts; Here's Why
Leading nutrition researchers argue that dietary fibre meets the scientific criteria to be recognised globally as an essential nutrient.

Beyond Brain-Eating Amoeba: Scientists Warn Of Rising Threat To Global Health
Researchers warn that free-living amoebas, microscopic organisms thriving in soil and water, are spreading globally due to climate change and ageing water systems. These pose serious health risks.

Parvovirus B19 Can Lead To Severe Encephalitis In Vulnerable Patients, Finds AIIMS Bhopal Study
Commonly found viruses such as the parvovirus B19 (PVB19) can cause serious brain infections like encephalitis, said researchers from the AIIMS Bhopal on Saturday.

Combined Drug Therapy Shows Promise Against Aggressive Childhood Brain Cancer: Study
A team of Australian researchers has tested a new way of treating childhood brain cancer by combining two medicines in lab studies.

Brain Shrinkage Across Multiple Regions Accelerates Memory Decline With Age: Study
Scientists uncover how brain shrinkage across multiple regions accelerates memory decline in healthy ageing adults.

Your Body Clock Affects Long-Term Brain Health And Influences Dementia Risk: Study
Disrupted circadian rhythms may raise dementia risk. Here is how sleep, activity, and daily routines support brain health.

Brain Waves Can Help Distinguish Between One's Own Body And External World: Study
Researchers from Sweden's Karolinska Institutet looked at how the brain combines visual and tactile (touch-related) signals to create a feeling that a body part belongs to oneself -- a phenomenon known as the sense of body ownership.

Dry January: What Happens To Your Body When You Stop Drinking Alcohol
Participating in Dry January, abstaining from alcohol for a month, can yield measurable health benefits. From better sleep and lower blood pressure to weight loss and improved liver function, research shows even short-term abstinence affects body sys

Stress During Pregnancy May Cause Brain Defects In Children, Says New Study
In a paper published in the journal Nature Neuroscience, researchers have mapped how stress events during pregnancy can affect the neuroimmune landscape of the developing foetal brain.

Compulsive Behaviours Could Be Inflammation, Not 'Habit Loop', Says New Study In Rats
The study, published in the journal Neuropsychopharmacology, looked at rats and tested whether inducing inflammation in the striatum brain region responsible for motor control, habit forming and motivation would increase habitual behaviour.

Alzheimer's Immune Response Higher In Females' Brain Than In Males, Finds New Study
In a joint study by researchers at the University of Rochester, US, and Indian researchers found that immune cells in the brain act differently in male and female mice with Alzheimer's disease.
