Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), the most important inhibitory neurotransmitter in the human brain, has long been considered essential in human behavior in general and learning in particular. GABA concentration can be quantified using magnetic resonance s
The human eye is a remarkably complex organ controlled by sixcranial nerves. The third cranial nerve (CN III) is commonly called the oculomotor nerve. This nerve enables many vital eye movements and works with other cranial nerves to transmit sensations to yourbrain. Several serious diseases can ...
neurogenesis [19]. lncRNAs are thus clearly implicated in brain and developmental processes, yet the mechanisms by which they modulate these processes remain unclear. As the pathophysiology of many neurodevelopmental disorders remains uncharacterized, uncovering the contributions of CNS-enriched transcripts ...

We usually aren’t very aware of our shadow functions, because they are in such opposition to our primary cognitive functions. You can see this if you take a look at the functions side-by-side (above). Because the shadow is largely unconscious, and we don’t associate it with our “tru...
Enrichment in rodents affects brain structure, improves behavioral performance, and is neuroprotective. Similarly, in humans, according to the cognitive reserve concept, enriched experience is functionally protective against neuropathology. Despite this
We examined the brain functions in the resting state of 43 patients with depression, 41 patients with chronic pain (somatoform pain disorder) and 41 healthy controls, by using regional homogeneity (ReHo) and functional connectivity analysis. Depressive symptoms were assessed by using the Beck ...
