A new study reveals multiple functions of visual attention.
The body relies on multiple maps based on the choice of the motor system.
The VMAT1 gene evolved through natural selection in human evolution. Those with the Ile-type variant of the VMAT1 gene are less prone to anxiety and depression.
Researchers report applying ultrasound to the whole brain improves cognitive dysfunction in mouse models of dementia. A clinical trial is currently underway to test the effectiveness in humans with the neurodegenerative disease.
Bergmann glial cell synaptic engulfing in the cerebellum was enhanced during motor learning in mice.
Optogentic stimulation has the potential to cultivate resilience to epileptic seizures in animal models, researchers report.
Researchers have discovered a possible new treatment for Alzheimer's disease after noticing the way in which insulin signaling works in the brains and pancreas of diabetic patients.
A new study examines the role paternal aging may play in the development of neurodevelopmental disorders in offspring with an inherited genetic mutation of Pax6.
Researchers have identified a potential molecular mechanism that causes Fragile X syndrome in the developing fetal brain.
Researchers have identified a gene that has evolved through natural selection and is implicated in psychiatric disorders and personality traits. The study suggests natural selection has helped shaped our psychiatric traits and helped to maintain human diversity.
Perceptual ability is more closely related to contagious yawning than empathy, researchers find.
Evolutionary changes in neurotransmitter uptake of VMAT1 may be responsible for higher levels of anxiety.
