Piezo1 And Piezo2 Proteins Involved In Cellular Response To Mechanical Stimulation
Scientists have identified two proteins which may have a critical function in biological systems. The proteins, named Piezo1 and Piezo2, have been identified as being involved in cellular response to mechanical stimulation. [Read More]
Neuronal Diversity Is Vital To Overall Brain Function
Researchers at Carnegie Mellon have examined the function of neuron diversity and discovered that diversity is vital to comprehensive brain function. The study explored how specific neurons process complex stimuli and code information. [Read More]
Nerve Cell Regeneration In Hippocampus Can Prevent Memory Loss
New research released from the University of Florida suggests the production of new nerve cells within the Hippocampus could prevent memory loss and assist in improving memory. [Read More]
Moderate Exercise Enhances Connectivity in Brain Circuits
A new study published in Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience has proven that moderate exercise can help to enhance connectivity in brain circuits. Additionally, exercise can help to improve cognition and combat decline in brain functions associated with aging. [Read More]
Pesticides Linked to ADHD and Attention Problems
Scientists have found evidence linking pesticides to attention problems in children. [Read More]
Older Corpus Collosum Crosstalk Slows Response Times
This research shows that the loss of connections in the corpus collosum could be partly responsible for slower response times seen in older animals and humans due to too much crosstalk and confusion between the brain hemispheres. [Read More]
Single Neurons and Dendrites Can Detect Different Input Sequences
UCL neuroscientists have shown that a single neuron, and even a single dendrite, can respond differently to unique sequences of input. [Read More]
Perforant Path Identified in Humans – Early ID of Alzheimer’s Possible
UC Irvine researchers have identified the perforant path in humans with the diffusion tensor imaging technique. [Read More]
Grid Cells Found in Presubiculum and Parasubiculum Important to Navigating Environment
Grid cells have been found in the presubiculum and parasubiculum of the rat brain. [Read More]
Artificial Bee Eyes Show World from Bee’s Point of View
Researchers have developed a camera system that mimics the bee eye. The artificial bee eyes allow the researchers to take images that are believed to be similar to the bee's viewpoint. [Read More]
