Sweden is famous for championing a balanced lifestyle, but the number of young people being signed off work with severe stress is growing.

'For one of my patients it wasn't just life changing, it was life saving. He had decided he was going to check out... now he is back at work and taking his child to the movies'

It’s usually pretty easy to figure out what someone like Elon Musk is up to. Simply check this high-profile thought leader’s social platform where he updates the world on his latest ventures, opinions on science and tech and what prompted him to send his Tesla Roadster into space. But for the past three years, Musk has been tight-lipped about his neuroscience-based startup, Neuralink — until now.

The strange technique holds great therapeutic potential.

Doctors are hoping for something to use during routine exams, where most dementia symptoms are evaluated.

New research suggests ketogenic diet may play a role in treating schizophrenia.

Summary: A new deep learning algorithm is able to detect how well a STEM student understands a concept based on their brain activity.

In a search for clues to what may delay or prevent Alzheimer’s disease, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report that smarter, more educated people aren’t protected from the disease, but do get a cognitive “head start” that may keep their minds functioning better temporarily.

Exercise-induced changes to synaptic function may increase brain connectivity. 

"There is no Goldilocks decade during which you can say, 'This is when I get my chance to short sleep.'"

OHSU research discovers a gene in mice that’s activated by brief periods of exercise.

A research team at the University of California, Riverside, has found that electronic cigarettes, often targeted to youth and pregnant women, produce a stress response in neural stem cells, which are critical cells in the brain. Present throughout life, stem cells become specialized cells with more specific functions, such as brain cells, blood cells, or bone. Far more sensitive to stress than the specialized cells they become, stem cells provide a model to study exposure to toxicants, such as cigarette smoke. 

In experiments on pig organs, scientists at Yale made a discovery that could someday challenge our understanding of what it means to die.

Scientists are investigating a better test of consciousness in brain-injured patients. If it becomes widely available, it could help with agonizing decisions about withdrawal of life support.

UW researchers created a method for two people help a third person solve a task using only their minds.

As mice become obese, neurons that tamp down on feeding get quiet
