According to a recent study published in 'Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging', the most common ADHD medication drug, methylphenidate, is now better understood in terms of its mechanism.
Researchers have long searched for genetic influences in schizophrenia, a neurodevelopmental disorder that disrupts brain activity producing hallucinations, delusions, and other cognitive disturbances. However, the disease's genetic mutations have been identified in only a small fraction fewer than a quarter of sequenced patients. A new study shows that 'somatic' gene mutations in brain cells could account for some neuropathology diseases.
Washington [US], July 19 (ANI): Despite the fact that there are treatments for depression, many people find these treatments to be ineffective at times. In addition, women are more likely than males to have depression, but the cause for this difference is unknown. This makes treating their disorders more challenging at times.

Washington [US], June 7 (ANI): The findings of a recent study coordinated by the University of Bath (UK) neuroscientists with international partners, has revealed key differences in brain structure between people with and without anorexia nervosa.
Washington [US], February 18 (ANI): A new study has identified common genetic factors in both depression and AD. Importantly, the researchers found that depression played a causal role in AD development, and those with worse depression experienced a faster decline in memory.
Philadelphia [US], December 18 (ANI): A new study has identified the maladaptive nature of drug-seeking habits and how they contribute to the perpetuation of addiction by promoting the tendency to relapse.
Washington [US], October 16 (ANI): A recent study led by scientists from the Florida State University College of Medicine has discovered that changes in the brain associated with Alzheimer's disease are linked with personality traits associated with the condition of an individual.
