Assessing Phase-Locked Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation for Treatment of Parkinson’s and Essential Tremor

Does wet-cupping therapy improve repeated sprint ability, perceived wellness, and rating of perceived exertion in young active males?

Wet-cupping therapy (WCT) is one of the oldest known medical techniques, used as a traditional and complementary therapy with a wide application all around the world for general health. Research on the effects of WCT on sports performance a...

Skills underlying mathematics: The role of executive function in the development of mathematics proficiency

The successful learning and performance of mathematics relies on a range of individual, social and educational factors. Recent research suggests that executive function skills, which include monitoring and manipulating information in mind (...

Mathematical Foundations of Neuroscience

The Mathematical Brain

The concept of numbers and the ability to recognize and process them is innate, part of everyone's intellectual apparatus whether they've had formal education or not. This instinct is not dependent on basic intelligence or general knowledge...

Neurological Manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 Infection: Protocol for a Sub-analysis of the COVID-19 Critical Care Consortium Observational Study

IntroductionNeurological manifestations and complications in coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) patients are frequent. Prior studies suggested a possible association between neurological complications and fatal outcome, as well as the exis...

Investigating the role of human frontal eye field in the pupil light reflex modulation by saccade planning and working memory

The pupil constricts in response to an increase in global luminance level, commonly referred to as the pupil light reflex. Recent research has shown that these reflex responses are modulated by high-level cognition. There is larger pupil co...

Neuropsychological Health Technologies

The article reveals the problem of neuropsychological technologies for maintaining, strengthening and developing human health from early to adulthood as a set of corrective and developmental measures to ensure the relationship of an optimal...

Time dynamics of symptom progression in patients with acute pancreatitis: a Dynamic Time Warping analysis

BackgroundAcute pancreatitis (AP) morbidity has been increasing in recent years. Patients with AP exhibit highly variable symptom patterns over time, posting challenges to traditional analytical methods. Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) effective...

Depressive phenotype shapes behavioral, neuroendocrine and molecular responses to repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in preclinical models of depression

IntroductionRepetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is an established non-invasive treatment for treatment-resistant depression (TRD), yet its neurobiological mechanisms remain only partially understood. We investigated whether ...

Correction: Aging, the microbiota–gut–brain axis, and late-life epilepsy: a hypothesis-driven review

Clinical and cost-effectiveness of a standardised diagnostic assessment for children and adolescents with emotional difficulties: the STADIA multi-centre RCT

Background Emotional disorders are common in children and young people and can significantly impair their quality of life. Evidence-based treatments require a timely and appropriate diagnosis. The utility of standardised diagnostic assessme...

Delirium in Patients with Severe COVID-19: Preliminary Results of the MAPA Longitudinal Study

N/a....

Disrupted Functional Connectivity of Cornu Ammonis Subregions in Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment: A Longitudinal Resting-State fMRI Study

Background: The cornu ammonis (CA), as part of the hippocampal formation, represents a primary target region of neural degeneration in amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI). Previous studies have revealed subtle structural deficits of t...

Online peer support for Young Onset Dementia is a promising resource, but not a panacea: a commentary from the INTERDEM Young Onset Dementia taskforce

The thalamus and its subregions – a gateway to obsessive-compulsive disorder

Introduction Higher thalamic volume has been found in children with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and children with clinical-level symptoms within the general population (Boedhoe et al. 2017, Weeland et al. 2021a). Functionally distin...

Dopamine transporter binding in symptomatic controls and healthy volunteers: Considerations for neuroimaging trials

Objective: To evaluate possible differences between brain dopamine transporter (DAT) binding in a group of symptomatic parkinsonism patients without dopaminergic degeneration and healthy individuals. Background: Dopaminergic neuroimaging st...

Penetration and familiarity of false belief on neuroscience among students and its modifiability

In Study 1, the degrees of penetration and familiarity of false belief on neuroscience, especially brain imaging, among students were surveyed using a questionnaire technique. A total number of 485 students from medical school, school of nu...

From Connectivity to Controllability: Unraveling the Brain Biomarkers of Major Depressive Disorder

Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is a significant neurological condition associated with aberrations in brain functional networks. Traditional studies have predominantly analyzed these from a network topology perspective. However, given the ...

Modulation of frontal gamma oscillations improves working memory in schizophrenia

Schizophrenia is a debilitating mental disorder that is associated with cognitive deficits. Impairments in cognition occur early in the course of illness and are associated with poor functional outcome, but have been difficult to treat with...
