Preterm babies who were fed breastmilk had significantly higher levels of creatine and choline, key metabolites for brain growth and development, than those who were formula fed.
A new study reports cholinergic neurons in the basal forebrain respond to reward and punishment with unusual speed and precision.
A clinical trial of an Alzheimer’s disease treatment developed found that the nutrient cocktail can improve memory in patients with early Alzheimer’s. The mixture appears to increase the number of dendritic spines and therefore some synapses.
A new study identifies a possible biomarker for predicting whether preterm infants are at risk for developing motor developmental problems.
Researchers discover physical activity has an influence on brain metabolism, preventing an increase in choline. A new Translational Psychiatry report suggests physical exercise may help protect neurons and reduce symptoms of dementia in older people.
Researchers have identified a mechanism that allows memory to switch from recall to memorization.
A single neuron from a fruit fly embryo has revealed insights into the causes of some psychological diseases.
Researchers report piglets of mothers who were fed a choline rich diet had increased white and gray matter in the brain.
Choline, an essential nutrient, can help prevent fetal brain development problems in infants whose mothers experience common infections, such as influenza, during pregnancy.
A new study considers how early nutrition can affect a baby's brain development.
A new study reveals Parkinson's patients have more copies of mitochondrial DNA in the brain stem, leading to increased cell death within that area.
Findings show sex-specific baizes in gene expression changes and demonstrate cellular control mechanisms based on microRNA change. The study sheds new light on genetic and neurological changes associated with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder.
