Study: Watching virtual reality videos of the North Pole found to reduce chronic pain
Researchers from Imperial College London have found that watching virtual reality (VR) videos of the North Pole helps relieve chronic pain. In a study published in Pain Reports, the researchers reported that VR therapy helps reduce perceived pain levels and pain sensitivity. Virtual reality an effective pain reliever The researchers mimicked the heightened sensitivity of people with chronic pain […]

Study: Extreme adiposity associated with obesity starts with inflammation in the brain
Obesity is a metabolic disease that is now considered to be an epidemic. In the United States, obesity is a major contributor to some of the leading causes of death among Americans, which include heart disease, diabetes and some types of cancer. The main defining feature of obesity is the excessive accumulation and storage of […]

New Alzheimer’s treatment using ultrasound yields 75% success rate, restoring complete memory function in trial run
A new Alzheimer’s treatment called focused therapeutic ultrasound beams sound waves into brain tissue and stimulates the brain’s waste removal system, safely enabling a clearance of the plaques, clumps and tangles that block memories. This non-invasive technology uses sound waves to safely open the blood-brain barrier where your ‘janitorial’ microglial cells can sweep out the […]

Sleep and memories: Study shows sound cues can help participants solve puzzles while they’re ASLEEP
Researchers from Northwestern University have found a fascinating way to activate problem-solving during sleep. In a study published in the journal Psychological Science, the researchers explained how they used sound cues to stimulate information processing in sleeping participants. When the volunteers woke up the next day, they were able to work out the brainteasers they failed to solve the previous night. “This study provides […]

Scientists can now implant “false memories” into animal brains
The idea of scientists implanting “false” memories might seem like a scene straight out of a science-fiction book. But as it turns out, it isn’t as far-fetched as it seems. In a recent study, neuroscientists at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto succeeded in manipulating mice brains into retaining memories that never happened to them […]

Forgotten dreams: REM sleep helps prevent information overload, explain scientists
Dreams are quickly forgotten the moment people wake up. This is likely due to a group of neurons that gets activated during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep – the phase of mammalian slumber when most dreams are made. A recent study published in the journal Science examined the neurons that produce appetite and sleep hormones in mice. Japanese and American […]

Pollution breeds CHAOS: Scientists find link between dirty air and violent crime
The deadly and devastating effects that air pollution has on one’s health such as sickness, malaise, lowered immunity and depression are all well-known. However, it is worth noting that the phenomenon has one other, far more insidious effect that many may not be familiar with: it could induce violent behavior in some people. According to […]

Scientists develop brain stimulation techniques using light therapy that offer mental health benefits
Current studies on brain science affirm that light can stimulate brain cells (neurons). This general field and technique is called optogenetics and scientists use it to better understand the neural connections, electrical impulses and chemical signals that occur in the brain. In 2019, Shuo Chen, a postdoctoral scholar at the University of California in Berkeley received […]

Awareness while in a coma is common, but doctors FAIL to “listen to and respect patient experiences”
Comatose patients are thought to remain in a state of limbo – neither conscious nor unconscious – dubbed the “vegetative state.” The unique nature of this state often complicates treatments and therapies for these patients. For this reason, physicians might be shocked to hear about comatose patients regaining consciousness and snapping out of their condition. But Toronto-based author […]

This neuron-killing protein travels from the gut to the brain by hijacking a nerve
A recent study published in the journal Neuron found that alpha-synuclein (a-syn), a protein genetically linked to Parkinson’s disease, spreads from the gut to the brain through the vagus nerve. Researchers at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore tested a previously proposed hypothesis suggesting that the gut-brain axis is involved in the progression of Parkinson’s — a […]
