Study details a signaling pathway that prevents the overproduction of snRNPs when they are not required. Read More
Study provides a broader understanding of light's ability to break chemical bonds and release active molecules. Read More
A new 3-D printed biomaterial is able to mimic the properties of living brain tissue. The new material could be used to enhance regenerative medicine therapies. Read More
A new framework outperforms previous models in predicting and assessing neural network properties. Read More
Some neurons have the ability to detect and compensate for neighboring neurons, while others do not. The findings shed new light on synaptic plasticity. Read More
With the help of snails, researchers investigate the neural processes at work when we develop food aversions after eating a bad meal. Read More
Induced changes in the function of AgRP neurons may contribute to depression, researchers report. Read More
ApoE4, a gene associated with an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease, also appears to increase susceptibility and the severity of COVID-19. SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for coronavirus, increased susceptibility to COVID-19 in ApoE4 neurons and astrocytes in brain organoid models. Read More
A set of neurons in the subthalamic nucleus have been implicated in canceling planned behaviors or actions. Read More
Using a snap-freezing method, researchers have been able to reveal the true structure of the connections that join neurons together in the adult brain. Read More
SARS_CoV_2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, can directly enter the nervous system. The virus can infect the brain, causing alterations in blood vessels and directly disrupt oxygen supply to the organ. Read More
The inhibition of GCK-IV kinases leads to robust neuroprotection while permitting axon regeneration. The findings could lead to new treatments for neurodegenerative diseases. Read More
