  • Exploring how a treatment improves coordination after stroke
    on June 22, 2026 at 5:00 pm

    Following stroke, patients have a hard time performing coordinated movements. Transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS) is emerging as a treatment to improve poststroke coordination, but the mechanisms for this motor improvement remain unclear. New in The Journal of Neuroscience, Yi Yuan, from Yanshan University, and colleagues used a mouse model of ischemic stroke to shed light on how TUS interacts with the brain during behavior to improve coordination.

  • How expectation and attention influence response speed and memory
    on June 22, 2026 at 5:00 pm

    People process lots of information about the environment while adapting as this information changes—without high energy use. Neuroscientists researching the brain’s efficiency in processing information in the environment are split: Some believe the brain saves energy by sharpening and refining its representations of expected events, while others believe it prioritizes unexpected events, which carry new information. In a new paper from JNeurosci, Reuben Rideaux and colleagues from the University of Sydney ultimately discovered that the brain may use both strategies at different times.

  • Could nighttime light affect brain health? Researchers investigate Alzheimer’s links

    A growing body of research suggests that sleep may be more than a symptom of Alzheimer’s disease—it may also play a role in how the disease develops and progresses. Now, new research from the University of Kentucky’s Sanders-Brown Center on Aging is shedding light on how everyday environmental factors and inflammation in the brain could influence sleep, circadian rhythms and Alzheimer’s-related changes.

  • Scientists discover ancient neurons that control attention
    on June 22, 2026 at 4:20 pm

    Neurons tucked away in an ancient part of the brain control the ability to pay attention by suppressing distractions and directing focus. The discovery of these neurons in mice by Johns Hopkins University researchers, in a part of the brain that exists across all vertebrates including humans, could be an initial step toward more targeted treatments for attention disorders.

  • Molecular cause of age-related cognitive decline identified
    on June 22, 2026 at 4:00 pm

    A research team from University Hospitals, Case Western Reserve University and the Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center has identified a critical molecular cause of age-related cognitive decline, potentially paving the way for new treatments to protect brain health as people age.
