Precise changes in the connectivity between neurons caused by an imbalance of gut bacteria may help explain depressive ...

For more than a century, Alzheimer’s disease has been treated as a one‑way slide, something that could perhaps be slowed but ...

Although scientists now know a lot more about attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) than they did in recent years, ...

Explore innovative ADHD therapies that focus on reducing neural noise to improve attention and focus in individuals.

Researchers find that altered Homer1 gene signaling quiets brain activity and improves attention in mice, raising new ...

Attention depends on the brain’s ability to filter out distractions, but new research suggests this works best when ...

A variety of studies are showing that rough-and-tumble play is important for animals and kids alike.

Study demonstrated that the Homer1 gene improves focus by reducing “noise” in the prefrontal cortex, with implications for studying attention disorders.

Attention disorders such as ADHD involve a breakdown in our ability to separate signal from noise. The brain is constantly bombarded with information, and focus depends on its ability to filter out ...

A study shows that lowering activity of specific Homer1 gene variants reduces background neural noise and improves attention in mice. By increasing inhibitory signaling in the prefrontal cortex during ...

A quantitative trait locus graph showing that the Homer1 gene region is associated with behavioral divergence in attention. (Credit: Rajasethupathy ...

What if the secret to better focus isn’t more brain activity—but less? A groundbreaking study has revealed that reducing mental noise may be the key to treating attention disorders like ADHD.
