Researchers have identified how a mutation causes dysfunction in a protein, which inhibits neural activity and induces migraines.
Researchers discover what they are calling social and asocial neurons in the prefrontal cortex.
Speech could have emerged earlier than the 200,000 years ago, long before current linguistic theory suggests.
Researchers have developed a comprehensive "toolbox" to establish that the mobility of receptors exists in intact brain tissue, and this mobility is critical for certain types of memory.
Following a meal, astrocytes associated with POMC neurons in the hypothalamus alter their shape. After eating, glucose levels increase temporarily. Astrocytes detect the signal and react within one hour, causing POMC neurons to activate and promote the feeling of satiety.
Researchers have developed a molecule that regulates the circulation of copper in the brain. The molecule extracts copper trapped in amyloid plaques in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease. Administered orally, the molecule inhibits memory loss associated with Alzheimer's.
Researchers reveal bees are able to grasp complex numerical concepts, such as the value of zero.
