A new study identifies a receptor which could be key to preventing epilepsy following a prolonged period of seizures. Read More
Study examines the interactions between stem cells and neurons in both tissue regeneration and the development of cancerous tumors. Read More
A new study sheds light on the unexpected molecular mechanisms in place for memories to form. Read More
Researchers report a signalling mechanism in the brain shapes social behavior. The findings may have implications for better understanding social hierarchies, aggression and bullying. Read More
Researchers have identified a molecular mechanism that contributes to a slowed maturation of fast spiking neurons. The developmental delay has been implicated in Fragile X. However, researchers were able to restore normal maturation speed by administering an activator of the TrkB protein. Read More
Researchers successfully used a synthetic compound to stimulate a receptor pathway to promote remyelination in the brain. The technique may have significant beneficial implications for treating multiple sclerosis, researchers say. Read More
Mutations of a gene associated with some forms of autism in humans can hinder the correct growth and connectivity of neurons in mice. This understanding allowed researchers to restore proper neuronal growth in the mice. Read More
Researchers discover elevated levels of TG2 in the prefrontal cortex of people who committed suicide. Read More
Researchers report a protein called estrogen receptor α is higher in females, providing them with stronger protection from hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy. Read More
Researchers identify a molecular pathway which accelerates the time taken for antidepressants to work in mouse models. Read More
A plasma membrane protein affects the generation of new neurons in the adult hippocampus, a new study reports. Read More
Researchers have identified a novel signaling system that controls neuroplasticity. Read More
