To celebrate Brain Week 2025, this article explores how sleep affects cognitive function and how professionals can integrate this knowledge into their clinical practices. Introduction Sleep plays a fundamental role in brain health, directly influencing neuronal recovery and cognitive performance. In the field of neuropsychology, understanding the relationship between rest and brain processes is key …
Neuropsychologist Diana Carolina Gomez Blanco brings us closer to the concept of neurodiversity in this article. In recent years, a concept has emerged in the realms of autism associations and other neurodivergences that is changing the paradigm through which we usually understand disability, as well as the so-called neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders. This concept questions …
Neuroscience is a group of scientific disciplines focused on the study of the nervous system. This is formed by the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. One of the main objectives of neuroscience is to understand the mechanisms of regulation and control of nervous reactions, as well as brain function. Dr. Ángeles Castro …
In 1906, the Nobel Prize in Medicine was shared between Camilo Golgi and Santiago Ramón y Cajal. Golgi was largely awarded for creating a type of staining that marked neurons and their ramifications, but this one had the problem that because there were so many neurons it was very difficult to see where each neuron …
The origin of brain sexuality It is common knowledge that there are anthropomorphic differences between women and men depending on sex. Not only are there biological differences between males and females, but recent neuroscience research has also revealed differences between male and female brain structure. Genetically we are different; females have an XX pair of …
Parkinson’s disease destroys the neuronal nuclei and circuits that are responsible for distributing and generating dopamine. The most important of these nuclei -but not the only one- is the substantia nigra: it is the first to suffer neurodegeneration as a consequence of several factors that have not yet been explained. Among others, viral, toxic (MPTP), …
In today's blog post we talk about anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) and, specifically, the executive and emotional control of the ACC
Before answering this question, it is useful to put it into context. First, epidemiologists have observed a general increase in cancer survival in recent years, even for tumors with worse prognosis. However, there is a risk of paying the price of receiving a therapeutic intervention. We are talking about chemo brain.
