A new study sheds light on how the circadian clock controls inflammatory response. By understanding the link between inflammation and circadian rhythm, researchers believe it may be most effective to target specific conditions at certain times of the day. The findings may also explain why those who experience body clock disruptions are more susceptible to inflammatory conditions.
Researchers reveal the role nucleus gigantocellularis neurons play in generalized arousal and cognition.
Researchers have been able to partially restore hearing in mouse models of an inherited form of progressive human deafness with the help of a small molecule based drug.
An immunization for stress created from beneficial bacteria could be on the horizon. The vaccine is said to have long lasting anti-inflammatory effects, making people more resilient to the psychological and physical effects of stress.
A new study reveals how neurogranin and FMRP help encode memories of new places.
A new study suggests a lack of cognitive flexibility and ability to retain new information may be a result of the Arc protein not being fully switched off.
Researchers have identified different neuron types and provided a new list of genes associated with schizophrenia. The findings could pave the way for developing new targeted therapies to treat the condition.
Researchers have identified a molecule that appears to play a vital role in long term memory formation.
Researchers have identified altered gene expression in the prefrontal area of the brain in those with schizophrenia. The study reports schizophrenia may have evolved as 'side effect' of human brain development.
Researchers report running can help mitigate the impact chronic stress has on the hippocampus.
Astrocytes may be good targets to prevent, or even reverse, the effects of normal aging, researchers suggest.
Researchers reveal a protein essential for memory and cognition looks and acts like a protein from a virus.
