Researchers at Tulane University have created a first-of-its-kind subcellular map of an area of the brain commonly affected by Alzheimer鈥檚 disease, a key step toward unraveling the mysteries of how the degenerative brain disease develops.
Stress-related disorders stem from the interplay of genetic susceptibility and stress exposure, shaping gene and protein expression through epigenetic modifications across the lifespan.
Alcohol use disorder is a chronic disease that used to disproportionately affect men. But for the first time in history, women are catching up. Today, women in the United States are drinking and engaging in harmful alcohol use at rates on par with their male counterparts.
For patients with disorders such as autism and schizophrenia, mutations in the same gene could require different treatments, according to new research from Yale School of Medicine (YSM). Many psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders are highly influenced by genetics.
Chronic pain鈥攐r pain that lasts at least three months鈥攊s closely intertwined with depression. Individuals living with pain鈥檚 persistent symptoms may be up to four times more likely to experience depression, research shows.
Listening to music while performing mindfulness exercises targets neural and cardiac mechanisms in the brain that may treat symptoms of anxiety and depression, according to a new study led by Yale School of Medicine researchers.
Scientists have uncovered more than 20 genes whose mutations cause familial forms of Parkinson鈥檚 disease. One of these genes is known as VPS13C, and mutations in this gene may contribute to the disease鈥檚 onset by causing the 鈥渢rash cans鈥� of cells to malfunction, Yale researchers repor...
Patients in the early stages of psychosis respond to treatments differently than those who have developed a chronic version of the disorder. Understanding the neurobiological changes from early to chronic stages is essential for developing targeted prevention and treatment strategies. But how symptoms change during this tran...
To better understand decision-making, researchers can create computational models鈥攇roups of equations that aim to predict what decisions people would make when faced with a set of choices. For example, a model might estimate how people would respond when given the choice between receiving a guaranteed amount of money or a ...
Patients with psychosis have a disrupted connection to reality, often suffering from delusions and hallucinations. These symptoms have been thought to arise from the same brain processes, but a new Yale study upends this long-held belief. The new study examined the natural progression of delusions and hallucinations i...
New findings suggest neurons have much more functional dexterity than scientists previously realized.
A new study suggests that medication interruptions among children and young adults taking medicine for chronic conditions happened more often in states that had the biggest drops in Medicaid enrollment during the recent 鈥渦nwinding鈥� process.
A specialized model used by researchers is becoming a valuable tool for studying human brain development, diseases and potential treatments, according to a team of scientists at Rutgers University-New Brunswick.
Researchers at Indiana University are working to preserve an important part of a patient鈥檚 identity when they have brain surgery: their hair.
Experts from Cedars-Sinai鈥檚 Geriatrics Program and newly established Center for Translational Geroscience are attending the American Geriatrics Society (AGS) Annual Scientific Meeting in Chicago May 7-10. These clinicians and investigators are available for media interviews about dementia, loneliness, end-of-life care and more.
This year鈥檚 "Top Doctors" Connecticut Magazie issue includes 128 Yale Cancer Center (YCC) and Smilow Cancer Hospital (SCH) physicians, a 17 percent increase since last year.
