Neuroimaging

A new study has identified abnormal brain connectivity in children with ADHD. The findings have been published in Psychiatry Research: Neuroimaging.

A new study has found that differences in the functional architecture of the brain are linked to appetite changes associated with depression. The findings have been published in JAMA Psychiatry.

Psychiatric patients using serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SRI) -- a commonly used type of antidepressant -- show significantly decreased ventricle volume after one month, according to new neuroimaging research published in the journal Chronic Stress.

It is human nature to want stability, but what happens when those needs are not met in childhood? A study published in Depression & Anxiety suggests that early-life instability is associated with adverse outcomes in adulthood, including anxiety and depression.

New research suggests that athletes are not only better at self-regulating their physical activity, but also at self-regulating their brain activity. The study, published in the journal Biological Psychology, also uncovered differences in brain structure among athletes and nonathletes.

Strenuous cognitive work leads to an accumulation of glutamate in the prefrontal cortex, according to new research published in the journal Current Biology. The new findings suggest that mental fatigue is a neuropsychological mechanism that helps to avert the build...

Monkeypox’s effect on the skin – the disfiguring rashes – and the flu-like symptoms have been well described, but few have investigated the neurological and psychiatric problems the virus might cause.

Can becoming a wine expert actually change your brain structure? A study published in Human Brain Mapping suggests that sommelier training can increase olfactory bulb volume and cortical thickness in some brain regions.

"We are really excited about these results because it suggests that while obesity and cardiometabolic problems might affect brain health, these effects are potentially reversible after weight-loss and cardiometabolic improvement induced by bariatric surgery."

New research published in the journal Biological Psychology revealed that people who exercise more show increased brain activity when receiving an unexpected reward, specifically in the right medial orbitofrontal cortex. These findings may suggest that regular exercise alters the reward-circuit function, potentially...

New research published in Experimental Neurology provides some initial evidence that the psychedelic substance known as LSD has nootropic properties. The study found that LSD increased markers of neuroplasticity in human brain organoids, increased novelty preference in rats, and improved...

According to data from two placebo-controlled, double-blind studies, CBD appears to buffer against some of the acute effects of THC on the brain. The new findings, which appear in the Journal of Psychopharmacology, suggest that cannabis strains with greater CBD...

TikTok videos portraying symptoms of Tourette syndrome may be misleading to viewers, according to a study published in the journal Pediatric Neurology. A team of neurologists examined popular TikTok videos shared under #tourettes and found that the behavior in the videos...

A new study is the first to investigate brain connectivity patterns at rest in veterans with both chronic pain and trauma, finding three unique brain subtypes potentially indicating high, medium, and low susceptibility to pain and trauma symptoms. The findings...

The dopaminergic system appears to play an important but overlooked role in LSD's effects on consciousness, according to new research published in the journal Psychopharmacology. The findings provide new insight into the neurophysiological mechanisms responsible for the unique effects of...
