Scientists Create Detailed Picture of Membrane Protein Linked to Brain Disorders Researchers gain a better understanding of the mGlu1 receptor which they believe to be a viable target for future medications to treat a number of brain disorders.
Maze Puts Images on Floor Where Rats Look Projecting images onto the floor of a maze, rodents can learn behaviors faster.
New Ideas Change Your Brain Cells A new study identifies important molecular changes which occur when people learn.
Mechanism Behind the Activation of Dormant Memory Cells Discovered Electrical stimulation of the hippocampus activates the same receptor complexes as memory recall and learning, a new study reveals.
Gender and Genes Play an Important Role in Delayed Language Development According to a new study, boys are at greater risk for delays in language development than girls.
What Makes Memories Last Researchers identify a protein which initiates the formation of stable long term memories.
New Evidence That Chronic Stress Predisposes Brain to Mental Illness Researchers show chronic stress generates long term changes in the brain. The finding could explain why people suffering from chronic stress are prone to developing additional mental health problems.
In the Brain, Timing Is Everything Researchers discover how two neural circuits work together to control the formation of time-linked memories.
NMDA Receptors Can Be Blocked to Limit Neurotoxicity Researchers obtain new results which are likely to advance efforts to develop new drugs targeting NMDA receptors in the brain.
Sleep is the Price the Brain Pays for Learning Researchers believe their synaptic homeostasis hypothesis of sleep challenges the theory that sleep strengthens brain connections.
Babbling Babies Responding to One-on-One ‘Baby Talk’ Master More Words Early language development isn't so much the quantity of words as the style of speech and social context in which speech occurs, researchers report.
Brain Training Works, but Just for the Practiced Task Brain training programs work, but only for practiced tasks, researchers report.
Toward a Molecular Explanation for Schizophrenia Inhibition of a basic cellular process could contribute to schizophrenia, a new study reports.
