Researchers have identified 40 new genes they believe are related to aggressive behavior in both humans and mice. The findings deepen understanding of the genetic basis of aggressiveness.
CBD blocks the ability of THC to overstimulate the ERK pathway in the hippocampus, preventing negative side effects associated with cannabis use.
Researchers provide new insight into the little understood connection between chronic pain and anxiety.
Findings could open new avenues for designing drugs to treat ataxia, researchers report.
U-M scientists stop abnormal brain cell growth in mice with neurofibromatosis using experimental tumor drug, make new discoveries in neural stem cells.
Researchers report certain genes and pathways that regulate slicing factors play a critical role in the aging process. Disrupting these genetic processes, researchers say, could reverse signs of aging in human cells.
Researchers have uncovered a mechanism in the BNST that senses the negative effects of alcohol and modulates the urge to drink. The study reports that when this mechanism doesn't function correctly, we lose the ability to recognize that we have had enough to drink.
Researchers discovered a bacteria of the genus Bartonella releases a protein, which they dubbed BafA, which stimulates the production of new blood vessels that support bacterial lesions. Bartonella henselae causes cat scratch disease. The findings provide new insight into the mechanisms by which infectious bacteria can produce lesions.
Researchers discover the genetic pathway responsible for body part regeneration in salamanders.
The formation of long-term memory relies on intrinsic neurological learning processes and the repetition of events.
A new study reveals differences in ear function can lead to asymmetrical brain differences in mice.
A new study challenges conventional belief that myelin can inhibit neuronal growth. Researchers report rat myelin stimulated axon outgrowths in neural precursor cells, and human iPSCs.
