Fatigue can be a daily challenge for children with developmental disabilities, affecting participation in school, play and other activities. In a new study by Virginia Tech researchers from the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC, parents reported that children who were m

Sitting for more than 30 minutes at a time is linked to a higher risk of dying from cancer, while breaking up long sitting spells with light activity appeared to lower that risk, according to new data. But media reports on the study left many questions unanswered. Here's what you

It's a fact of life that the electrical activity of neurons will vary during the same task, even when the ultimate outcome is the same. A new study shows that a lot of ongoing fluctuations in the brain's activity can be explained by the influence local electric fields exert on th

A research team led by Professor Il-Joo Cho of Korea University College of Medicine has developed a novel brain implant capable of bidirectionally modulating neural activity using temperature, opening new possibilities for next-generation brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) and trea

According to a study that analyzed the behavior of 1,500 São Paulo residents between 2014 and 2024, the implementation of new bike lanes, parks and other public facilities in the Brazilian city has encouraged transportation-related physical activity and promoted public health ben

Previously unpublished long-term clinical and imaging findings from participants treated with an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived neural progenitor cell therapy for chronic ischemic stroke were presented at the ISSCR 2026 Annual Meeting.

Scientists have discovered how damage to the myelin sheath—the insulating layer around nerve fibers—affects brain activity during sleep.

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

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

Skeletal muscles—responsible for movement, joint stabilization and postural support—are highly metabolically active and heavily reliant on oxygen during physical activity. However, conditions such as high-intensity exercise or sustained exertion frequently expose skeletal muscles

Cerebrovascular disease can lead to serious aftereffects if treatment is delayed, but it is difficult to detect before symptoms appear. KAIST researchers have developed an AI technology that analyzes real-life daily activity and environmental data from older adults to identify di

It's been said that eyes are a window to the soul, but new research has found that an adolescent's brain response to a face might open a window to their social future. A new study at the University of California, Davis Center for Mind and Brain found that high activity in the amy
