Researchers at IIT Kanpur are studying alpha waves in the brain to understand how stress affects cognitive functions. The study aims to build automated models of stress dimensions using EEG and correlating them with factors like loss of control, helplessness, and anxiety.
A new study has found that high calcium levels in microglia, a specialised group of immune cells in the brain, could be linked to anxiety, potentially paving the way for new treatments for neuropsychiatric disorders.
A new study suggests that damage to the brain's white matter can trigger features often associated with neurodegenerative diseases, such as inflammation in the grey matter.
For years, creatine has been associated with bodybuilders looking to bulk up. But emerging research is changing that perception.
A new study by King's College London and QIMR Berghofer Medical Research Institute has identified 74 genomic locations, including 39 new ones, linked to anxiety symptoms. Analysing data from nearly 700,000 people, the research highlights the complex interplay between genetics and environmental factors in anxiety development and offers new insights into its biological underpinnings.
A new study suggests that manipulating the gut microbiome by stimulating the vagus nerve may help reverse memory loss associated with ageing. The research highlights the gut's role in cognitive function and potential therapeutic strategies.
Young adults in India are increasingly grappling with high blood pressure, a condition once thought to affect mainly the older demographics. Cardiologists point to sedentary lifestyles, obesity, chronic stress and unhealthy diets as primary drivers of this silent epidemic.

This is what the new Spanish study reveals about a woman's brain after sexual assault.
A new study reveals a link between the diversity of gut bacteria and the body's hormonal and stress response, suggesting the gut microbiome plays a role in regulating acute stress.
There are more than 200 varieties of plums grown across the world but each brings its own flavour and texture, yet all are equally nourishing, no matter their colour or taste, says Cleveland Clinic.
A new blood test analysing the folding of amino acids, rather than their amounts, shows promise in detecting the earliest biological signs of Alzheimer's disease, according to a recent study.
Half a cup of pomegranate seeds packs only 72 calories, yet brims with heart-friendly nutrients and is rich in antioxidant that calm inflammation.
Doctors at AIIMS, Delhi, have successfully performed a simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplant after 18 years, marking a significant advancement in organ transplantation in India. The surgery was performed on a 30-year-old patient with end-stage renal disease caused by Type 1 diabetes.

'10 million Indians are currently living with dementia, and the number is expected to double by 2036.'
Your sleep is a mirror to your mind, habits and health.
Even by conservative assumptions that 5 to 10 per cent of infected individuals develop long Covid, India today may be home to 50 to 100 million infected individuals -- many silently coping with breathlessness, fatigue, palpitations, brain fog, or unexplained clotting tendencies.
There is a decisive shift in how cancer may soon be confronted and, hopefully, defeated.
Be prepared to be amazed!
There is no link between using a mobile phone and developing brain cancer, according to a review of studies, which was commissioned by the World Health Organization.
Is coconut oil the wonder food it is said to be?
'Nutrition is always higher when you consume fresh food. Whether it's heated, boiled, frozen or microwaved, some nutrient depletion always happens' says Dr Rajeshwari Panda.
In contrast to Trump's strong warnings, the FDA's current position remains more measured. In a recent letter to physicians, the agency stated that "a causal relationship has not been established" between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and autism, and acknowledged the existence of "contrary studies in the scientific literature."
