| Neuronal plasticity in chronic pain-induced anxiety revealed Posted: 27 Apr 2022 11:06 AM PDT Researchers have shown how chronic pain leads to maladaptive anxiety in mice, with implications for treatment of chronic pain-related psychiatric disorders in humans. |
| Japanese population projected to live longer without dementia Posted: 27 Apr 2022 08:58 AM PDT A new microsimulation projects that over the next 20 years, Japanese people will live longer without dementia, but older women with a less than high school education will benefit less than men. |
| Researchers investigate connection between loss of motivation and Alzheimer's disease progression Posted: 27 Apr 2022 08:57 AM PDT Researchers are studying why neuropsychiatric symptoms, such as apathy and irritability, appear in most Alzheimer's disease patients before the onset of memory loss. |
| Study shows creativity assessments progressing slowly, including racialized, gendered approaches Posted: 27 Apr 2022 08:57 AM PDT Researchers have published a study in which they reviewed 11 years of research on creativity assessments and found the field is focusing on three main types of assessment between education and psychology. They note little innovation in the field and that the standard approaches are often gendered and racialized. The authors call for better understanding of creativity assessments to better serve all students, make creativity a more central part of education and better translate research to practice. |
| Anesthetic drastically diverts the travels of brain waves Posted: 27 Apr 2022 07:06 AM PDT Under propofol general anesthesia very slow frequency traveling waves transform and dominate, redirecting and disrupting the higher frequency traveling waves associated with conscious function. |
| Posted: 27 Apr 2022 07:06 AM PDT New data shows that the symptoms suffered by people with advanced Alzheimer's disease and related dementias who live in the community occur at a strikingly similar rate to those of dementia patients in a nursing home. |
| Risk of psychotic-like experiences can start in childhood Posted: 27 Apr 2022 07:05 AM PDT Researchers have found that the more urban of an environment a child lived in -- proximity to roads, houses with lead paint risks, families in poverty, and income disparity -- the greater number of psychotic like experiences they had over a year's time. |
| New research identifies blood biomarker for predicting dementia before symptoms develop Posted: 27 Apr 2022 07:05 AM PDT New research has identified a blood biomarker that could help identify people with the earliest signs of dementia, even before the onset of symptoms. |
| New study finds childhood abuse linked to higher risk for high cholesterol as an adult Posted: 27 Apr 2022 07:05 AM PDT The likelihood of developing high cholesterol -- a risk factor for heart disease and stroke -- was higher among white men and white women who experienced abuse during childhood, according to a study of more than 5,000 Black and white adults in the U.S. In contrast, growing up in a well-managed household with family members who were involved and engaged in the child's life offset the higher risk of high cholesterol among white women and Black men who reported abuse during childhood. |
| Gastrointestinal issues linked with anxiety, social withdrawal for kids with autism Posted: 26 Apr 2022 12:37 PM PDT A new study found a 'bi-directional' relationship between gastrointestinal issues and internalized symptoms in children and adolescents with autism -- meaning the symptoms seem to be impacting each other simultaneously. The findings could influence future precision medicine research aimed at developing personalized treatments to ease pain for individuals with autism experiencing gastrointestinal issues. |
| Meat substitutes: Environment does not motivate consumption Posted: 26 Apr 2022 12:37 PM PDT People who have a critical attitude toward factory farming or who pay attention to their health in everyday life are more likely to turn to meat substitutes. Concern for the environment, on the other hand, appears to play no role in this decision. |
| Parental type 1 diabetes can affect children's cognitive development Posted: 26 Apr 2022 12:36 PM PDT Cognitive development in children could be affected regardless of which biological parent has type 1 diabetes, according to a new study. The research shows for the first time that having a parent with a chronic disease like type 1 diabetes may be associated with lower school performance rather than maternal high blood sugar during fetal development. |
| Better assess the needs of people with multiple disabilities Posted: 26 Apr 2022 07:17 AM PDT How do we assess the needs of people with severe multiple disabilities? Unable to communicate verbally and physically, this population has nearly no possibility of expressing itself. Thanks to eye-tracking technology, a team has succeeded in identifying and evaluating certain perceptive and social-emotional abilities in nine children and adolescents with multiple disabilities, opening the way to personalized care. |
| Study suggests early self-awareness of autism leads to better quality of life Posted: 26 Apr 2022 07:16 AM PDT People who learn they are autistic when they are younger may have a heightened quality of life and sense of well-being in adulthood, according to a new study. |
| Micronutrients (vitamins + minerals) show benefit for children with ADHD and emotional dysregulation Posted: 26 Apr 2022 07:16 AM PDT A study reports that children with ADHD and emotional dysregulation randomized to take a micronutrient formula were three times more likely to show symptomatic improvement on blinded clinician ratings, compared to those in the placebo group (54% versus 18%). The micronutrient formula, consisting of all known vitamins and essential minerals, was administered for eight weeks. |
| A new treatment reduces inflammation in multiple sclerosis mice models Posted: 26 Apr 2022 07:16 AM PDT Researchers managed to reduce chronic inflammation associated with multiple sclerosis in mice thanks to the administration of a type of lipid that mediates inflammation. |
| When it comes to preventing Alzheimer's, women respond better than men Posted: 26 Apr 2022 07:16 AM PDT A study is the first to examine if sex significantly affects cognitive outcomes in people who follow individually-tailored, multi-domain clinical interventions. The study also determined whether change in risk of developing cardiovascular disease (CVD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD), along with blood markers of AD risk, also were affected by sex. Results showed that while care in an Alzheimer's Prevention Clinic setting is equally effective at improving cognitive function in both women and men, the personally-tailored interventions used by the researchers led to greater improvements in women compared to men across AD and CVD disease risk scales, as well blood biomarkers of risk such as blood sugar, LDL cholesterol, and the diabetes test HbA1C. Findings are important because women are disproportionately affected by AD and population-attributable risk models suggest that managing risk factors can prevent up to one-third of dementia cases. |
