Researchers have identified a specific genetic variant that appears to help facilitate empathy driven by fear in rodents.
A newly developed system dubbed Opto-vTrap can temporarily trap vesicles from being released from brain cells.
Empathy is induced by synchronized neural oscillations in the right hemisphere of the brain, a new mouse study reveals.
Newly discovered modifications of the coronavirus RNA offers clues for combatting COVID-19. The findings also shed light on the lifecycle of the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
PTPδ, a synaptic adhesion molecule, regulates synaptic development and sleep behavior in mouse models.
NYX-783, a newly discovered drug, helps modulate NMDA receptor function in neurons. The drug appears to be effective at suppressing the return of PTSD symptoms in rodent models.
Using optogenetics, researchers manipulated pulses of neural activity during non REM sleep that made mice either remember of forget things they had learned. This novel study demonstrated that altering sleep spindle oscillations during sleep has an impact on memory formation and retention.
Researchers report defects in the Ets1 gene is linked to characteristics associated with systemic lupus erythematosus immune abnormalities.
