Brain glutamate changes could link cannabis use to a higher risk of psychosis

Cannabis, commonly known as marijuana, is a plant that contains psychoactive compounds that can temporarily alter people's brain activity and perceptions. While the consumption of this plant for medical or recreational purposes is now legal in a number of regions worldwide, past

New soft wearable device could support at-home sleep monitoring

Good sleep is essential for brain health. During sleep and rest, the glymphatic system, the brain's waste-clearing process, helps remove metabolic waste that accumulates during waking hours. This activity is linked to memory processing, cognitive function and neural recovery. Whe

Cancer evolution study reveals biology of glioma progression

A form of glioma, a type of brain cancer, tends to progress toward greater malignancy due to an increasing tendency of glioma cells to transform into immature, stem cell-like states, according to a study led by investigators at Weill Cornell Medicine, the New York Genome Center,

New study provides first evidence of dopamine system injury in the brain of long COVID pat

A new brain imaging study led by researchers at the Center for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), published in eBioMedicine, provides the strongest evidence to date that long COVID is associated with injury to dopamine-releasing neurons in the brain—a finding that may explain sy

The same sounds are mapped similarly in the human and mouse brain, study finds

While exploring the world around them, both humans and other animals continuously interpret information they pick up with their sight, hearing, touch and other senses. Neuroscience research suggests that the brain does not individually process every single sensory experience, but

Heat exposure during pregnancy and infancy may influence children's brain development

Exposure to high temperatures during pregnancy and early infancy is associated with slower growth of the thalamus later in childhood, according to a study led by the Barcelona Institute for Global Health (ISGlobal), a center supported by the "la Caixa" Foundation. The findings, p
