Competing Pathways Affect Early Differentiation of Higher Brain Structures
April 26, 2013 A new study shows how the strength and timing of competing molecular signals during brain development has generated natural and presumably adaptive differences in a brain region known as the ... > full story -
Developmental Neurobiology: How the Brain Folds to Fit
April 26, 2013 During fetal development of the mammalian brain, the cerebral cortex undergoes a marked expansion in surface area in some species, which is accommodated by folding of the tissue in species with most ... > full story -

How Parkinson's Disease Protein Acts Like a Virus
April 25, 2013 A protein known to be a key player in the development of Parkinson’s disease is able to enter and harm cells in the same way that viruses do, according to a new ... > full story -
Novel Approach to Find RNAs Involved in Long-Term Memory Storage
April 25, 2013 Scientists have developed a novel strategy for isolating and characterizing a substantial number of RNAs transported from the cell-body of neuron (nerve cell) to the synapse, the small gap separating ... > full story -
Longer Days Bring 'Winter Blues' -- For Rats, Not Humans
April 25, 2013 Biologists have found that rats experience more anxiety and depression when the days grow longer. More importantly, they discovered that the rat's brain cells adopt a new chemical code when subjected ... > full story -
Missing Link in Parkinson's Disease Found: Discovery Also Has Implications for Heart Failure
April 25, 2013 Researchers have described a missing link in understanding how damage to the body's cellular power plants leads to Parkinson's disease and, perhaps surprisingly, to some forms of heart ... > full story -
Thanks to Rare Alpine Bacteria, Researchers Identify One of Alcohol's Key Gateways to the Brain
