Researchers discover that simple associative learning is possible during sleep in humans.

This study investigates cerebral blood flow regulation in professional boxers and finds that repetitive sub-concussive head impact may explain the progressive nature of associated brain injury.

Findings of this study suggest that there is greater flexibility in hypertrophy-specific repetition load ranges than commonly advocated.

Gandolini et al (2012) investigated whether changing running technique or wearing sports shoes might lower the forces exerted on feet and legs during foot-strike.

In biomedical research human diseases are commonly modeled in rodents such as mice. Their small size, however, poses technical challenges for physiological recordings. This study proposes a new method for recording RSNA in awake unrestrained mice.

If you regularly take time to enjoy the outdoors then chances are you’ll benefit in a number of ways both mentally and physically. This study explores some of the mechanisms responsible for this in a controlled environment.

Internal anal sphincter muscle tissue was engineered from human smooth muscle cells with a view to investigating viable replacement sphincter tissue for patients with incontinence.

Cognitive enhancing drugs offer symptomatic relief from mental fatigue and cognitive decline in early-stage brain diseases. This study shows the how a novel cognitive enhancing drug, ST101, exerts its effects on the brain at cellular and molecular levels.

This study reports on findings that lead-toxicity causes Parkinsonian-like symptoms, which were partly explained through changes in neuronal firing patterns in a part of the brain called the subthalamic nucleus.

This study investigated whether EEMD-matched filter signal analysis techniques, applied to visual-evoked potentials, would yield improved information transfer rates that would more easily allow a person's 'brainwaves' to control a small robot car.

Behavioral mimicry is an important element of human social interaction – but what drives it? This study shows that perceived reward has a powerful influence on how we mimic facial expressions in others.

Do particular extremes of emotions generate signature autonomic changes? If so, 'reading' people's physiological responses could provide insight into emotional status. Henderson et al (2012) examined this possibility using the microneurography technique.
