A new study published in Brain Communications has uncovered abnormal brain wave activity in individuals with Alzheimer’s disease, suggesting a potential new biomarker for tracking the condition and ...

Scientists have discovered how a gene strongly linked to Alzheimer’s disease may also trigger seizures by disrupting the brain’s energy supply. The findings, from researchers at the University of ...

A specific pattern of brain activity in a frontal brain region is linked to compulsive behaviors like excessive hand washing, chronic hair-pulling, and skin-picking in people with obsessive compulsive ...

A high-frequency brain signal in the frontal cortex is linked to OCD compulsions. Targeted deep brain stimulation rapidly reduced symptoms in severe cases.

Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders, affecting 3.4 million Americans or 1 in 26 over a lifetime. The hallmark of epilepsy is seizures caused by abnormal bursts of electrical ...

A growing body of neuroscience research is converging on a counterintuitive idea: the disorderly brain activity triggered by LSD might actually work against the hyper-synchronized neural firing that ...

Neurons in the brain interact by sending each other chemical messages, so-called neurotransmitters. Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the most common inhibitory neurotransmitter, which is important to ...
