A little-known region deep in the brain could be crucial for preserving physical strength as we age, and could even help ...

They found that a little-known part of the brain, the caudate, seemed to be unusually highly linked to grip strength. How ...

New brain imaging research shows grip strength is linked to activity deep in the aging brain, offering clues to early ...

The findings suggest that the tool can be used to not only assess cognitive impairment in Huntington disease (HD) but also to detect brain atrophy patterns associated with cognitive status in these ...

Neuroscientists have shown that stimulating the caudate nucleus can generate negative moods that lead to irrational decision-making. Stimulating the caudate nucleus causes animals to give far more ...

Figure 1. Research flowchart. This study screened a total of 995 patients, and ultimately determined that 397 patients met the inclusion criteria. According to whether the caudate lobe of the liver ...

The caudate nucleus (green) is a subcortical brain region located in the striatum. The striatum is one of several neural structures that make up the basal ganglia (colored regions) located below the ...

Investigational laquinimod did not change motor symptoms of Huntington's disease after 1 year but did significantly reduce caudate volume loss compared with placebo, the phase II LEGATO-HD trial found ...

Antenatal corticosteroids (ACS) are an established therapy for pregnant women at risk of preterm birth. Researchers have found that babies given ACS had notably smaller volumes of two key brain ...

Neuroscientists have now found the brain area responsible for pessimism. The new research suggests that both anxiety and depression are caused by an overstimulation of the caudate nucleus. Share on ...
