Novel experiences dampen previous memory representations in the hippocampus and prefrontal cortex, facilitating flexible strategy encoding in mice. Read More
Treating mouse models of astrocytomas with a new combination therapy resulted in tumor regression in 60% of the mice. Read More
Study identified five genes, including two novel genes, associated with Lewy Body dementia. Researchers also found the genetic profiles of patients with LBD showed higher chances of also suffering from Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease than other age-matched control subjects. Read More
Differences in the expression of gene transcripts shed light on how mental health disorders with shared genetic risk factors differ in onset, symptoms, course of progression, and treatment responses. Read More
Myelomonocytic cells, a type of immune cell, can both harm and help the brain following injury. Read More
Study reveals how our brains navigate physical spaces and how we are able to keep track of other people's locations. Read More
Artificial intelligence technology redesigned a bacterial protein that helps researchers track serotonin in the brain in real time. Read More
Researchers have isolated a set of antibodies from a llama which show promise for the treatment of COVID-19. The NIH-CoVnB-112 nanoantibody bound to ACE2 receptors up to ten times stronger than other lab-produced antibodies. The nanoantibody stuck directly to the ACE2 receptor binding portion of the SARS_CoV-2 spike protein. The protein could be effective in preventing coronavirus infection. Read More
An area of the superior temporal sulcus is critical for visual processing and making decisions about visual information. Read More
Researchers discovered how a group of high-frequency brain waves help us to unconsciously set expectation of the world around us and realize something is different by comparing past memories with current situations. Read More
Researchers find a previously unknown connection between ALS, FTD, and the Huntington's disease associated gene, huntingtin. Read More
Researchers were able to ascertain the colors people were seeing by looking at their brain activity. The study reveals we have unique brain activity associated with specific colors. Read More
