Researchers report a genetic variant that prevents correct functioning of the NMDAR receptor may play a role in the development of schizophrenia. Read More
A new study reports sensory stimulation during the first two weeks of life is critical for establishing brain networks that help map sensation. Read More
Researchers report memantine, an FDA approved drug, may not only alleviate symptoms of mild Alzheimer's disease, but could also prevent progression of the disease if used before symptoms appear. Read More
Researchers report specific alterations in signaling circuits associated with memory can induce an abnormal response in neurons, which is linked to the aging process and cognitive decline. Read More
Researchers explore the mechanisms behind ketamine's effectiveness at treating depression. The study reports the long lasting effects of ketamine may be due to G proteins timing in moving back to lipid rafts. Read More
A new study reveals both genetics and environment play a role in shaping brain connectivity. Read More
Researchers have identified a potential mechanism for the development of alcoholism. Read More
A new study explores how neurons adapt their function to respond to stimuli quickly. Read More
A new study sheds light on the unexpected molecular mechanisms in place for memories to form. Read More
A metabolite created as the body breaks down ketamine could hold the key to understanding its antidepressant action, a new study reports. Read More
A new study reveals how three proteins associated with autism and other brain disorders, help to wire up specific areas of the brain responsible for sensory processing. Read More
Researchers report neurons in the cerebellum send out their electrical signals either as a constant hum or in sudden bursts, depending on the voltage that crosses their cell membranes. Read More
