Researchers use gene therapy to help restore hearing in mice down to the equivalent of being able to hear a whisper.
Researchers report getting more sleep, and for those who can't sleep, increasing caffeine uptake, can help relieve chronic pain better than standard pain killers.
A new study considers whether immune system changes in people with lupus contribute to neuropsychiatric symptoms associated with the disease.
A study in Nature Neuroscience reveals mutations that occur after conception could play an important role in autism. The study reports post-zygotic mutations occur disproportionately in genes expressed in the amygdala in those on the autism spectrum.
Researchers at Boston Children's Hospital have developed a therapeutic cocktail of molecules that restored fine motor skills in mice with spinal cord injuries. When applied to mice who had experienced stroke symptoms, researchers observed increased axon sprouting in subcortical areas.
Study revels M1 ganglion cell photoreceptors can tune into different ranges of light intensity.
Researchers have derived purkinje cells from patients with TSC, a genetic syndrome that includes some ASD-like symptoms. The cells, researchers say, have several characteristics that could help explain how ASD develops at the molecular level.
EEG data fed into a new computer algorithm can help to identify which children will be diagnosed with autism at up to 95% accuracy, researchers report.
Digestive enteroendocrine cells use an innate immune pathway to respond to good bacteria by fine tuning metabolism to diet and intestinal conditions, a new study reveals.
Researchers have successfully restored the ability to walk in mice paralyzed as a result of spinal cord injuries with the help of a small molecular compound.
ARGONet, a new approach that combines multiple data streams with artificial intelligence, produces the most accurate estimates of flu activity, up to a week ahead of traditional healthcare based reports.
Researchers report children who experience deprivation early in life have impaired memory and executive function between the ages of 8 and 16 compared to peers who were placed in quality foster homes.
