A new study reveals impaired insulin signaling in the brain negatively affects cognition, memory and learning. The findings shed light on why those with type 2 diabetes are at greater risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.
Autophagy allows sensory neurons and nutrient levels to work together to influence lifespan, a new study reveals.
Researchers identify a set of genes which, in a zebrafish model, appear to be important for learning.
Based on prior findings, researchers propose that depressed levels of insulin-like growth factor (IGF) in the blood of newborns could potentially serve as a biomarker for the later development of autism.
