Brain
Are you really taking a break if you are content-binging all the time?
Our downtime is spent continually making our brains constantly process information.
How to improve brain function?
Long-COVID brain fog, mum brain or work burnout — there are quite a few reasons in today’s world that can bring intelligence levels to a drop. If left in that state, the mind, just like a person, can become lethargic and unwilling to get back to its original sheen. For a growth-oriented individual, low smarts could also mean a slowdown in their career. Fortunately, there are a number of ways one can constantly challenge their mind and keep it alert and focused.
Brain stimulation treatments for depression
The growing use of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has increased the visibility and acceptability of nonsurgical brain stimulation approaches to depression treatment.
Proton beam cancer therapy 'effective with fewer side effects'
A cancer treatment at the centre of an NHS controversy in 2014 causes fewer side effects in children than conventional radiotherapy, according to new research.
Human brain’s ultimate barrier to open for first time
This is believed to be neuroscience’s final frontier. Tiny bubbles will open the blood-brain barrier to sneak drugs into tumours – and we might treat Alzheimer's the same way, reports New Scientist.
Virtual reality maze 'predicts Alzheimer's disease'
Alzheimer's disease can be detected decades before onset, using a virtual reality test, a study suggests.
How the brain purges bad memories
According to the scientific american website, new research has identified a neuronal circuit responsible for the brain’s ability to purge bad memories, findings that could have implications for treating PTSD and other anxiety disorders.
