Induced changes in the function of AgRP neurons may contribute to depression, researchers report.
The protein ACBP directly influences neurons that help both rodents and humans maintain a healthy weight.
Adolescent rats exposed to alcohol had a decrease of both Arc eRNA expression and Arc gene expression in the amygdala during adulthood. Additionally, the alcohol-exposed rats displayed increased anxiety behaviors as they aged.
Researchers report the gamma-CaMPII protein plays a critical role in learning and memory. The shuttle protein may be dysfunctional in those with Schizophrenia and autism, hindering learning abilities, researchers report.
Based on the actions of Arc, when one synapse strengthens, the neighboring synapses weaken, a new study reveals.
A new study suggests a lack of cognitive flexibility and ability to retain new information may be a result of the Arc protein not being fully switched off.
Researchers report on the role the arcuate nucleus plays in metabolic regulation and appetite suppression following exercise.
A new study, using mouse models, demonstrates sensory deprivation can activate the brain to rewire networks following a stroke. The findings could have major implications for stroke rehabilitation in humans.
Researchers reveal a protein essential for memory and cognition looks and acts like a protein from a virus.
Researchers believe they may have found a reason for that all too well known holiday phenomenon, a 'food coma'.
New findings revise the current models for homeostatic control, researchers report.
