New research could lead researchers to a better understanding of the development of psychiatric disorders such as depression and anxiety.
Researchers have determined the detailed structure and movement of the glutamate receptor.
Researchers describe how early life exposure to air pollution produces significant brain changes, including enlargement of the part of the brain seen in humans with autism and schizophrenia.
Cannabinoid receptors have been identified in the central nucleus of the amygdala, a key emotional hub in the brain.
Researchers obtain new results which are likely to advance efforts to develop new drugs targeting NMDA receptors in the brain.
Administering a cocktail of amino acids to mice models of TBI, researchers improved sleep disturbances caused by the brain injuries.
Topiramate, a drug used to treat migraine headaches and epilepsy, could also help treat cocaine addiction, a new study reports.
Researchers discover three specific drugs affect three different kinds of neurotransmitter receptors which all appear to play roles in Fragile X.
Researchers discover the role protein mGluR5 plays in cocaine addiction. The finding could help point a way to new treatments for addiction.
A new study shows how reciprocal communication between different brain cells contributes to neuronal integrity.
Researchers discover an enzyme, IDH, which facilitates the breakdown of specific amino acids makes glioblastoma brain cancer particularly aggressive.
Researchers have developed an experimental drug, NitroMemantine, to boost brain synapses lost in Alzheimer's disease. The drug stops the destructive cascade of brain changes which destroy connections between neurons that leads to memory loss and cognitive decline.
