New brain injury framework replaces outdated classification system, transforms diagnosis and treatment

, , /in , /by

A revolutionary multidimensional framework for characterising acute traumatic brain injury is set to replace the outdated Glasgow Coma Scale-based classification system. The new Clinical, Biomarker, Imaging-Modifiers (CBI-M) approach integrates blood biomarkers, advanced neuroimaging, and patient-specific factors to provide clinicians with unprecedented diagnostic precision for the first 24 hours post-injury.

Brain-music connection: We don’t just hear music, we become it

, /in , , /by

New research integrates findings from neuroscience, music, and psychology to support Neural Resonance Theory (NRT), which suggests musical experiences arise from natural oscillations in the brain that synchronise with rhythm, melody, and harmony. Rather than merely processing musical input, our brains physically resonate with music, explaining its profound emotional and physical effects.

Adolescent sleep patterns significantly impact cognitive ability

Adolescent sleep patterns significantly impact brain development and cognitive ability

, /in , , /by

In a pioneering study examining the relationship between sleep patterns and adolescent brain development, researchers have revealed that young people who sleep longer and go to bed earlier show improved brain structure, neural connectivity, and cognitive performance compared to their peers with later bedtimes and shorter sleep duration – though even the best sleepers fall […]

Nature therapy shown to reduce pain signals in the brain

, /in , , , /by

New research demonstrates that exposure to nature scenes significantly reduces both pain perception and associated brain activity. This groundbreaking study provides neurological evidence for nature’s analgesic effects, suggesting that even virtual nature experiences may serve as an effective complementary approach to traditional pain management strategies.
