6+ day, 10+ hour ago (504+ words) “Traditional classifications of language profiles in autism distinguish three groups: verbal, nonverbal, and minimally verbal,” Andrey Vyshedskiy, an adjunct professor at Boston University and co-author of the study, told PsyPost. “This tripartite framework is bad for children, for parents, and…...
Common artificial sweetener aspartame makes brain cells more vulnerable to stroke damage, mouse study suggests
1+ week, 11+ hour ago (642+ words) Additionally, a 2023 study indicated that treating human brain cells with aspartame led to oxidative stress and damage to mitochondria, the energy-producing structures inside cells. The new research, led by Yan Bai and Ji Feng at Fudan University, aimed to test…...
Scientists discover previously unknown brainwave chains that organize memory during REM sleep
1+ week, 12+ hour ago (759+ words) More recently, a 2024 study indicated that rapid ripples of electricity originating in the prefrontal cortex during NREM sleep actually suppress hippocampal activity. Other research, such as a 2012 study, found that REM sleep adjusts the overall excitability of hippocampal neurons. “The…...
