That depression can take a toll on your physical health is pretty well-recognized. Recent research has also found that it can actually cause changes in your brain. Specifically, recurring depressive episodes reduce the size of your hippocampus — an area of your brain involved in forming emotions and memory — stressing the importance of early intervention,

The human brain is comprised of a number of different regions. Each of these regions are vitally important with highly specialized functions. The brain is roughly divided into three parts which include the following: Forebrain, Midbrain, Brain stem or hind brain.

How the human brain functions? What part does what? What is it made of? What does it need to work optimally? What makes human brain different?
Meditation can have positive effects on our health and well-being. However it has been unclear which mental practice has which effect, and what the underlying processes are. Researchers have discovered that different trainings affect either our attention or our social competencies and modify different brain networks. One mental technique was able to reduce the stress hormone cortisol. These results may influence the adaptation of mental trainings in clinics and education.
Mutations in an autism gene called ANK2 may alter brain wiring by causing the growth of excess neuronal connections.
New research finds a link between the size and structure of a brain region called the choroid plexus and the development of psychosis.
In a study recently published in the Journal of Affective Disorders, researchers have found evidence suggesting that certain types of gut bacteria may influence the thickness of the brain's cortex.
Mice that lack a segment of chromosome 22 — a mutation associated with autism — have unusually sparse connections between brain regions.
Brain scans suggest that mistreatment during childhood is linked to changes in brain structure that may make depression more severe in later life
Are your kids and your smartphone inseparable? It is a common scenario in most homes nowadays. In an increasing number of nuclear families where both parents work, busy parents who are time-pressed often give their phones to their kids to keep them entertained. Time and again, parents are cautioned against this practice by well-wishers and even at schools. Yet, the fact that this trend refuses to die
Researchers at UW's Institute for Learning & Brain Sciences have found that the anatomy of certain brain areas – the hippocampus and cerebellum – can predict children's language abilities at 1...
There is strong evidence of brain-related abnormalities in COVID-191–13. However, it remains unknown whether the impact of SARS-CoV-2 infection can be detected in milder cases, and whether this can reveal possible mechanisms contributing to brain pathology. Here we investigated brain changes in 785 participants of UK Biobank (aged 51–81 years) who were imaged twice using magnetic resonance imaging, including 401 cases who tested positive for infection with SARS-CoV-2 between their two scans—with 141 days on average separating their diagnosis and the second scan—as well as 384 controls. The availability of pre-infection imaging data reduces the likelihood of pre-existing risk factors being misinterpreted as disease effects. We identified significant longitudinal effects when comparing the two groups, including (1) a greater reduction in grey matter thickness and tissue contrast in the orbitofrontal cortex and parahippocampal gyrus; (2) greater changes in markers of tissue damage in regions that are functionally connected to the primary olfactory cortex; and (3) a greater reduction in global brain size in the SARS-CoV-2 cases. The participants who were infected with SARS-CoV-2 also showed on average a greater cognitive decline between the two time points. Importantly, these imaging and cognitive longitudinal effects were still observed after excluding the 15 patients who had been hospitalised. These mainly limbic brain imaging results may be the in vivo hallmarks of a degenerative spread of the disease through olfactory pathways, of neuroinflammatory events, or of the loss of sensory input due to anosmia. Whether this deleterious effect can be partially reversed, or whether these effects will persist in the long term, remains to be investigated with additional follow-up. After infection with SARS-CoV-2, individuals show a greater reduction in grey matter thickness and tissue contrast in the orbitofrontal cortex and parahippocampal gyrus; greater changes in markers of tissue damage in regions that are functionally connected to the primary olfactory cortex; and a greater reduction in global brain size.
A new study shows that cichlid fish reared in larger social groups from birth display a greater and more extensive range of social interactions, which
Research shows for the first time an association between the gut microbiota and the brain regions involved in the processing of sensory information from their bodies. This suggests that signals generated by the brain can influence the composition of microbes residing in the intestine and that the chemicals in the gut can shape the human brain's structure. Also, the researchers gained insight into the connections among childhood trauma, brain development and gut microbiome composition.
