Last fall, we announced a call for proposals within our partnership with UCL Neuroscience. The joint steering committee has now approved four new projects for 2024, which should pave the way for more extensive collaborations […]
Brain nerve fibers interconnect myriad nerve cells and are coated with a fatty insulation to transmit electrical signals at lightning speed. The nerve-coating cells, known as oligodendrocytes, are also critical for powering the brain’s electrical […]
Understanding speech in a noisy environment can be challenging for people, especially those with speech perception deficits. Studies could already show that brain activity correlates with the perception and memorization of words. This study investigated […]
Disruptive behaviors in children and youth may involve proactive and reactive aggressions. Werhahn et al. explored functional brain connectivity at rest and compared children and adolescents with disruptive behaviors to a control group. They considered […]
Schizophrenia is a multifaceted disorder. It is associated with structural brain variability – which, to this day, we only know little about. Using MRI-based brain measures, the worldwide ENIGMA study of Omlor et al. characterized […]
Resilience is essential to counteract stress and its harmful effects. It is correlated with healthy responses to physiological and psychological stressors. So far, there are few investigations on the effects of resilience training on real-life […]
Love indulging in a delightful meal, even though you are full? Then that’s the right study for you! Peleg-Raibstein and team investigated the role of different brain cells for the development of overeating behavior. When […]
In a joint project between the Decision Neuroscience Lab at ETH Zurich and the Swiss Epilepsy Center at Klinik Lengg, Ph.D. candidate Giovanna Aiello discovered how deep brain stimulation treatment for drug-resistant epilepsy patients could […]
Have you ever wondered why older adults might struggle to understand speech even with good hearing? The answer lies in how their brains process information. Stefan Elmer, Nathalie Giroud, and their team uncovered the reasons […]
Knowing when to say “stop” to an ongoing action and instead looking for other opportunities (i.e., foraging) is crucial for mental health. However, many people struggle with doing so. Sidorenko and colleagues investigated the effects […]
