Mar. 14, 2024 Researchers uncovered the mechanistic details behind how several proteins interact to help cells recognize and remove damaged mitochondria. Optineurin (OPTN) and its interactions are needed to ...
Mar. 11, 2024 Researchers have identified the protein that enables mammals to sense cold, filling a long-standing knowledge gap in the field of sensory ...
Mar. 11, 2024 Early stages of neurodegenerative disorders are characterized by the accumulation of proteins in discrete populations of brain cells and degeneration of these cells. For most diseases, this selective ...
Mar. 11, 2024 Scientists trained a machine-learning algorithm to predict accurately brain metastasis using biopsy samples from early-stage non-small cell lung cancer patients. It was also highly accurate in ...
Mar. 11, 2024 Monitoring daily activity patterns using a wrist-worn device may detect early warning signs of Alzheimer's disease, according to a new ...
Mar. 11, 2024 Taking 'study drugs' like Adderall without a diagnosis is not only dangerous in itself, but can lead to other drug use and a decline in mental health, according to new ...
Mar. 11, 2024 Researchers have investigated brain development to understand how different areas of the brain become specialized in handling information such as vision, sound, touch and ...
Mar. 11, 2024 A study of polyglots found the brain's language network responds more strongly when hearing languages a speaker is more proficient in -- and much more weakly to the speaker's native ...
Mar. 8, 2024 These wide-ranging waves quickly link the specific constellations of brain regions that work in harmony to perform a ...
Mar. 8, 2024 Scientists have developed a new approach using the Zika virus to destroy brain cancer cells and inhibit tumor growth, while sparing healthy ...
Mar. 8, 2024 Imagine a busy restaurant: dishes clattering, music playing, people talking loudly over one another. It's a wonder that anyone in that kind of environment can focus enough to have a ...
Mar. 7, 2024 Researchers discovered a brain circuit that drives vocalization and ensures that you talk only when you breathe out, and stop talking when you breathe in. This circuit is under control of a brainstem ...
Mar. 7, 2024 Scientists can make high resolution images of the human spinal cord during surgery. The advancement could help bring real relief to millions suffering chronic back ...
Mar. 7, 2024 Scientists have found our visual perception dips as our feet hit the ground. Further understanding this could help develop early diagnostics for neuromuscular or psychiatric illness; understand ...
Mar. 6, 2024 Combining two treatments could be a promising option for people, especially military veterans, whose lives are negatively affected by post-traumatic stress disorder, finds a new study. In a clinical ...
Mar. 6, 2024 A surge of a neural-specific protein in the brain is the earliest-yet biomarker for Alzheimer's disease, report researchers studying a mouse model of the disease. Furthermore, the increased ...
Mar. 6, 2024 A noninvasive treatment may help to counter 'chemo brain' impairment often seen in chemotherapy patients: Exposure to light and sound with a frequency of 40 hertz protected brain cells from ...
Mar. 6, 2024 Axons that are regularly stimulated do not pass on increases in performance to their neighbors, study on mice ...
Mar. 6, 2024 Scientists are taking a more detailed look at how children's language development is influenced by the number of people in their households, evaluating the impact of the adult-to-child ratio ...
Mar. 6, 2024 Researchers have uncovered a strikingly similar suite of changes in gene activity in brain tissue from people with schizophrenia and from older adults. These changes suggest a common biological basis ...
