According to a PNAS study, the RNAs of tick borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) are transported from the cell body to dendrites. The viral RNAs then reproduce the viruses within the dendrites, disturbing neural activity.
A new study reveals researchers were able to distinguish between children with or without ASD diagnosis, thanks to a new saliva based biomarker panel. Researchers report the test can be used in children as young as 18 month, assisting in early diagnosis of autism.
A new study challenges the most influential textbook explanation of how the mammalian brain detects when the body is becoming too warm.
Experience and genetics give us all our unique sense of smell, a new study reports.
Prader-Willi syndrome, a genetic disorder characterized by an insatiable appetite, is associated with the loss of non-coding RNAs; resulting in dysregulation of the circadian and metabolic genes.
Researchers have identified one way in which an RNA binding protein may contribute to ALS.
Study reveals up to 25% of rhythmic genes lose their biological rhythm following a 4 day night shift simulation.
A new study explores how neurons adapt their function to respond to stimuli quickly.
Parkinson’s Disease Damaged Neurons Learn to Heal Themselves with Help of Modified White Blood Cells
Researchers have genetically modified white blood cells to produce GDNF and deliver it to the brain, a new study reports.
Researchers discover a surprising degree of variation among the genomes of individual neurons taken from the same brain.
Researchers question why numerous different RNAs are transported to synapses. One reason, they suggest, is that they are stored to later help maintain long-term memory.
McGill researchers report RNA that encodes synaptic proteins degrades more rapidly in Alzheimer's patients.
