Get latest articles and stories on Health at LatestLY. Alzheimers disease (AD) is the fifth leading cause of death in adults over 65 years old. While many potential treatments for neurodegenerative disease focus on developing drugs to target key culprits, a relatively new approach aims to treat the brain.

Scientists reveal a new visual-motor circuit in the brain, which provides a fresh perspective on the neural mechanisms of movement.

Specific neural code that is shared across brains may help recognize familiar faces.

111 deaths were announced every day in the past week. the latest figures on those being treated in hospital and percentage of people vaccinated have not been made available yet to us, we will bring them to you as and when we get them. scientists in a new study have successfully treated a patient with severe depression by using a so called "pacemakerfor the brain". the surgically implanted device tapped into the specific brain circuit involved in depressive brain patterns and reset them. research...

Scientists pinpoint brain circuit for spirituality Spirituality may be “deeply woven into our neuro-fabric,” researchers claim. Credit: Michael Ferguson. Consciousness can be both a blessing and a curse. During humanity’s first steps on this planet, the world looked radically different. Mysteries were everywhere and the thought of uncertainty was ever present. It’s no wonder then that virtually every culture across different points of time and geographies have independently invented re...

Study finds a neural circuit for spirituality and religiosity More than 80 percent of people around the world consider themselves to be religious or spiritual. But research on the neuroscience of spirituality and religiosity has been sparse. Previous studies have used functional neuroimaging, in which an individual undergoes a brain scan while performing a task to see what areas of the brain light up. But these correlative studies have given a spotty and often inconsistent picture of spirituali...
