Research have identified a signaling pathway that might determine genetic susceptibility for the development of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD).
In a recent study, researchers report children with autism had higher levels of several toxic metals in their blood and urine compared to typical children.
Researchers have developed a device which records the brain activity of worms in order to test the effects of drugs.
Using laboratory mice, researchers show anesthesia's neurotoxic effects depend upon the age of the neurons in the brain and not the age of the animal undergoing anesthesia.
Researchers find the human protein prefoldin can reduce neurotoxicity in the clumps of beta-amyloid which collects in the brains of Alzheimer's patients.
Researchers use a novel sequencing method to identify a group of genes used by microglia to sense pathogenic organisms, toxins and damaged neurons.
A new study reports a potential new treatment for seizures which often occur in children with genetic metabolic disorders and people with liver failure.
A new study reports even low levels of APOE4 can increase beta-amyloid plaques in the brain and neuronal damage in mouse models of Alzheimer's disease. However, introducing APOE2 can reduce amyloid deposits and other associated damage.
Researchers work to understand how expanded polyglutamine tracts form the types of supramolecular structures that are presumed to be toxic to neurons.
Researchers discover a new way of reducing disease toxicity in ALS which slows the dysfunction of neurons.
Researchers confirm an association between a common MRI contrasting agent and abnormalities on brain MRI.
Researchers obtain new results which are likely to advance efforts to develop new drugs targeting NMDA receptors in the brain.
