A brain network involved in reward processing and attention to stimuli is markedly bigger in people with depression and can be detected in children before depression onset.

Fentanyl-induced brain damage may be missed because fentanyl is not routinely included in standard drug tests, and diagnosis requires MRI, researchers cautioned.

A large, real-world data analysis of 3 million migraine attacks shows triptans, ergots, and antiemetics are the most effective classes of medications.

Researchers at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles have found the human eye can show early signals of Alzheimer's disease long before symptoms of dementia become apparent, according to a study.

Low bone density, particularly at the femoral neck, may raise dementia risk in older adults, possibly through the little-known bone-brain axis.
