Neurological complications of COVID-19 can include delirium (abrupt change in the brain that causes mental confusion and emotional disruption), brain inflammation, stroke, and nerve damage, a new study has revealed.
Researchers found that after six months of exercise, participants improved by 5.7 per cent on tests of executive function, which includes mental flexibility and self-correction.
Researchers have demonstrated that a small jab of electricity delivered to a particular point in the brain can snap a monkey even out of deep unconsciousness, an advance that may lead to the discovery of nerve circuits key to conscious awareness, and potential treatments for brain disorders.
The entire set of human emotions can be traced to the functioning of a small 3-centimeter area on the brain's outer layer, cortex, according to a study that may unlock mysteries about illnesses like depression and phobia.
Raising hope of effective treatment for age-related macular degeneration (AMD), researchers have found that the brain knows how to integrate natural and artificial vision, while maintaining information processing that is important for vision.
Shaking head is one of the most common methods people use to get rid of water in their ears, but it can also cause complications as researchers have found that trapped water in the ear canals can cause infection and brain damage.
The unhealthy habits of modern-day living with a diet high in calories may cause brain health to deteriorate faster.
At some point during human evolution, a handful of genetic changes triggered a dramatic threefold expansion of the brain's neocortex, the wrinkly outermost layer of brain tissue responsible for everything from language to self-awareness to abstract thought.
The results were published in the proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The findings suggest that factors such as parenting style, education, nutrition, stress, and others are likely major contributors to one's smartness.
Of course, a trip to the nearest grocery store is likely to reveal that lots of products come in many more than a dozen varieties.

More reasons to stay physically active.
Brain areas that are traditionally not associated with learning science can become active when people are confronted with solving physics problems.
Researchers came to this conclusion after doing research on about 6,200 children in kindergarten.
Previous research by the group has already found that aerobic exercise can improve brain health.
The finding adds to a growing body of research that point to the health benefits of low doses of alcohol.
The researchers found the cells inside a structure called the hippocampus, a region of the brain vital for learning and memory.
Known as epigenetic modifications, these "markers" or "tags" tell the gene whether it should be active or inactive, providing instructions to the gene to turn on or off without changing the DNA itself.
