Neurodevelopmental conditions such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism affect about 1 in 10 children. These conditions impact development, behavior and well-being.

An analysis led by New York University researchers determines which public policies effectively prevent suicide deaths in the United States. But it’s not just policies that limit firearms and expand access to health care—many economic and social policies that are not explicitly focused on mental health can also prevent suicide, according to their article published in the Annual Review of Public Health.

Electrical brain stimulation could be the key to getting athletes back on track following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, new research from Edith Cowan University (ECU) has shown.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) remains one of the most devastating medical conditions, severely impacting quality of life and often leading to permanent disability. The central nervous system (CNS) has a limited capacity for regeneration, which poses a significant challenge in treating SCI, since recovery becomes increasingly difficult once the spinal cord is damaged.

Chewing a bagel while reading the morning news, speaking while driving, dislodging a piece of food stuck between two teeth: In these and other tasks, the tongue and the brain coordinate intricate movements without conscious attention, but the exact pathway in the brain has been largely unexplored.

A new electrically active transplantable material that can help to regrow cells in the brain and spinal cord could redefine the recovery prospects of patients who sustain life-altering injuries or suffer from neurodegenerative diseases.

Specific brain cells known as layer 5 pyramidal neurons play a vital role in how our brains process information. Research by the team of Prof. Joris de Wit (VIB-KU Leuven) and colleagues highlights the differences between two types of these brain cells—intratelencephalic (IT) neurons and pyramidal tract (PT) neurons—and how these differences may affect their vulnerability to conditions like autism and schizophrenia.

White matter is made up of axons, which are long nerve fibers that connect neurons together from different parts of the brain.
