Mice VR Headsets Revolutionise Brain Activity Studies and Behavioural Research
Mice are now being equipped with specially designed virtual reality headsets, allowing researchers to study brain activity in immersive environments. Developed using affordable components, the "MouseGoggles" enable scientists to observe the mice's neural responses as they interact with virtual environments. The study opens new doors for understandi...

Depression Could Be Linked With the Brain Network Responsible for Guiding Attention, Study Claims
Groundbreaking research has identified a larger salience network in individuals with depression, even before the onset of symptoms, which could revolutionise how depression is detected and treated. The study, which used precision functional mapping, suggests that this brain network remains stable over time and may offer a reliable biomarker for ear...

COVID-19 Virus’ Link That Potentially Increases Brain Infection Risk Found, Claims Study
A recent study has revealed that SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for the COVID-19 pandemic, might be using an unexpected method to infect the brain. Researchers found that mutations in the virus' spike protein allow it to enter brain cells through a "back door," a process that might explain the neurological symptoms observed in some COVID-19 pati...

New Study Reveals the Brain Stores Multiple Copies of Every Memory
Recent research sheds new light on how the brain stores and manages memories, revealing that it maintains at least three distinct copies of each memory. This study, conducted on rodents, provides valuable insights into the brain's memory encoding process and suggests that multiple types of neurons play a role in storing these memories. The research...
