New research reveals that Type 2 diabetes may impair the brain’s reward and memory processing in ways that mirror early Alzheimer’s disease.

Next time you feel an itch, remember that your brain's vast network of neurons informs it whether it is an itch or pain. A ...

The high comorbidity of type 2 diabetes (T2D) with psychiatric or neurodegenerative disorders points to a need for ...

A study from UNLV suggests that Type 2 diabetes impairs the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), which is linked to reward ...

Three regions, in particular, play key roles: the anterior cingulate cortex, the prefrontal cortex and the insula. The anterior cingulate cortex and the prefrontal cortex are part of a network ...

UNLV research team says high blood sugar levels appear to weaken function in key part of brain, mimicking Alzheimer’s.

Rat study suggests that Type 2 diabetes may weaken a projection in the brain that drives reward and spatial processing.

have uncovered the neural mechanisms underlying the processing of pain and itch in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC). This study, published in Nature Communications, provides new insights into ...
