"Visual-movement" neurons in the brain help individuals to stay focused on rewarding tasks

Trying to finish your homework while the big game is on TV? "Visual-movement" neurons in the front of your brain can help you stay focused, according to a new study from neuroscientists in the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.

Researchers discover the ‘ebb & flow’ brain mechanism that drives learning

Researchers have long thought that rewards like food or money encourage learning in the brain by causing the release of the "feel-good" hormone dopamine, known to reinforce storage of new information.

ADHD diagnosis in childhood vs adulthood: is there a difference in genetic architecture?

Researchers investigated whether individuals diagnosed with ADHD during childhood vs adulthood differed in terms of unique and shared genetic and functional architectures.

Childhood abuse can induce stress that changes neural networks and functions during growth

Childhood neglect and/or abuse can induce extreme stress that significantly changes neural networks and functions during growth. This can lead to mental illnesses, including depression and schizophrenia, but the exact mechanism and means to control it were yet to be discovered.

Cerebellum plays a key role in generalized convulsive seizures, study finds

Recurrent seizures are debilitating and can sometimes, be fatal. The onset and presentation of seizures vary significantly among epilepsy patients. Of more than 25 categories of seizure presentations within epilepsy, those with motor convulsions are perhaps the most disruptive and generally most feared among patients and caregivers.

Micronutrient in breast milk boosts brain development in newborns

A new study by scientists at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging (HNRCA) at Tufts University suggests that a micronutrient in human breast milk provides significant benefit to the developing brains of newborns, a finding that further illuminates the link between nutrition and brain health and could help improve infant formulas used in circumstances when breastfeeding isn't possible.

Amotivation and anhedonia play a crucial role in determining the social functioning of schizophrenia patients

Dr. Raymond Chan's team from the Institute of Psychology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and his collaborators have recently shown that amotivation and anhedonia, rather than expressive dysfunction, play a crucial role in determining the social functioning of schizophrenia patients.
