New research links inflammation to mental health symptoms. Personalized care using brain and immune data could improve symptoms when standard treatments don’t work.

A sweeping genetic screen reveals how the brain is built and exposes a hidden gene behind a newly discovered childhood brain disorder.

A new method of reversing Alzheimer's shows promise in an animal study, as researchers at University Hospitals restore brain energy molecule NAD+.

Tiny lab-grown brains are offering an unprecedented look at how schizophrenia and bipolar disorder disrupt neural activity. Researchers found distinct electrical firing patterns that could identify these conditions with high accuracy.

Lots of studies have shown that getting a good night’s rest (seven to eight hours) is associated with better memory and other cognitive abilities. That’s because sleep, especially REM sleep, is when your brain transfers short-term memories — things you learned or experienced during the day — into long-term storage.

Kenneth Kendler, one of the most influential and prolific psychiatric researchers and historians of our time, recently published two articles examining the role of the brain in psychiatric disorders: “A history of metaphorical brain talk in psychiatry ...

Researchers discovered that clogged brain “drains” show up early in people at risk of Alzheimer’s disease. These blockages, easily seen on standard MRI scans, are tied to toxic protein buildup linked to memory loss and cognitive decline.

Which genes are required for turning embryonic stem cells into brain cells, and what happens when this process goes wrong? In a new study published today in Nature Neuroscience, researchers led by Prof.
