The process, dubbed inflammaging, is linked to conditions associated with older age such as stoke and dementia.]]> https://neurosciencenews.com/microbiome-aging-inflammation-7878/feed/ 1 44673 https://neurosciencenews.com/forest-amygdala-health-7737/ https://neurosciencenews.com/forest-amygdala-health-7737/#comments Fri, 13 Oct 2017 17:19:14 +0000 http://neurosciencenews.com/?p=44211 A neuroimaging study reveals city dwellers who live closer to forests were more likely to have healthier amygdala structure and were better able to deal with stressful situations.]]> https://neurosciencenews.com/forest-amygdala-health-7737/feed/ 1 44211 https://neurosciencenews.com/iq-hyper-brain-body-7720/ https://neurosciencenews.com/iq-hyper-brain-body-7720/#comments Wed, 11 Oct 2017 04:37:52 +0000 http://neurosciencenews.com/?p=44154 A study suggests that people with high IQs face a greater risk of psychological and physiological disorders compared to the general population. Drawing from a survey of 3,715 Mensa members with IQs above 130, the researchers found notably higher rates of mood disorders, ADHD, and autoimmune diseases among the group. Lead author Ruth Karpinski posits a "hyper brain/hyper body" theory, explaining that highly intelligent people may have an overreactive nervous system that contributes to these ailments. ]]> https://neurosciencenews.com/iq-hyper-brain-body-7720/feed/ 10 44154 https://neurosciencenews.com/anxiety-bacteria-gut-7374/ Fri, 25 Aug 2017 19:03:29 +0000 http://neurosciencenews.com/?p=43056 Researchers discover gut microbes may influence microRNA in the prefrontal cortex and amygdala, two areas of the brain associated with depression and anxiety.]]> 43056 https://neurosciencenews.com/glial-cells-schizophrenia-7139/ https://neurosciencenews.com/glial-cells-schizophrenia-7139/#comments Thu, 20 Jul 2017 17:55:00 +0000 http://neurosciencenews.com/?p=42265 Researchers from the University of Copenhagen have made a significant discovery as to how schizophrenia may occur. They discovered a genetic defect that causes damage to glial cells may also impair the production of myelin. Researchers believe the lack of myelin may be a significant contributor to the development of schizophrenia in some patients.]]> https://neurosciencenews.com/glial-cells-schizophrenia-7139/feed/ 1 42265 https://neurosciencenews.com/alzheimers-brain-bacteria-7091/ https://neurosciencenews.com/alzheimers-brain-bacteria-7091/#comments Mon, 17 Jul 2017 15:40:15 +0000 http://neurosciencenews.com/?p=42119 A new study published in Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience provides new evidence that bacterial infection and inflammation could contribute to Alzheimer's disease. Researchers found a tenfold higher overall ratio of Actinobacteria to Proteobacteria in the brains of Alzheimer's patients compared to those without the disease.]]> https://neurosciencenews.com/alzheimers-brain-bacteria-7091/feed/ 5 42119 https://neurosciencenews.com/gut-bacteria-emotion-7013/ https://neurosciencenews.com/gut-bacteria-emotion-7013/#comments Fri, 30 Jun 2017 18:34:31 +0000 http://neurosciencenews.com/?p=41886 A new study identifies gut bacteria that appears to interact with brain areas associated with mood and behavior.]]> https://neurosciencenews.com/gut-bacteria-emotion-7013/feed/ 3 41886 https://neurosciencenews.com/memory-fear-breathing-5699/ https://neurosciencenews.com/memory-fear-breathing-5699/#comments Wed, 07 Dec 2016 18:40:56 +0000 http://neurosciencenews.com/?p=37047 Researchers found that the act of breathing does more than supply oxygen; it also impacts brain function and emotional behavior. ]]> https://neurosciencenews.com/memory-fear-breathing-5699/feed/ 17 37047 https://neurosciencenews.com/consciousness-neuroscience-pacc-5436/ https://neurosciencenews.com/consciousness-neuroscience-pacc-5436/#comments Sat, 05 Nov 2016 19:25:18 +0000 http://neurosciencenews.com/?p=35613 Researchers believe they may have pinpointed an area of the brain that plays a role in maintaining human consciousness.]]> https://neurosciencenews.com/consciousness-neuroscience-pacc-5436/feed/ 1 35613 https://neurosciencenews.com/broca-and-wernicke-are-dead-its-time-to-rewrite-the-neurobiology-of-language/ Thu, 03 Nov 2016 22:40:53 +0000 http://neurosciencenews.com/?p=35588 Researchers argue the Classic Model of the neurological basis of language function is obsolete in a new study.]]> 35588 https://neurosciencenews.com/female-arousal-sensory-input-5402/ Tue, 01 Nov 2016 21:13:31 +0000 http://neurosciencenews.com/?p=35501 According to researchers, women have the potential to experience orgasm from one or more sources of sensory input.]]> 35501
