A new study reports participating in light physical activity, such as yoga or tai chi, can help to increase connectivity between brain areas responsible for memory formation and storage. Read More
Quercetin, a flavonoid found in pickled capers, modulates potassium ion channels in the KCNQ gene family. These channels are influential in human health, and their dysfunction is linked to diseases, including diabetes, epilepsy, and cardiac arrhythmias. Read More
Transplanting embryonic progenitor interneurons into the hippocampus of mouse models of TBI, researchers noticed the neurons migrated to the injury site and made new connections. Following treatment, memory improved and seizures were reduced. Read More
Researchers report fasting affects the circadian rhythm of the liver and skeletal muscles, allowing them to rewire their metabolism. The study suggests fasting can help improve health and protect against aging related diseases. Read More
The hippocampus and amygdala directly exchange signals in order to recognize emotional stimuli and encode them into memories, researchers report. Read More
Too much methionine in-vitro caused schizophrenia in mice, regardless of the level of postpartum care. Researchers suggest the same outcome would be true for humans. Read More
A new study reports brain connectivity appears to be dictated by the spatial architecture of neurons, rather than the cell type-specific cues. Read More
Researchers have made a significant breakthrough in restoring the ability to form lasting memories in older or damaged brains. Read More
Researchers report increased levels of methionine during pregnancy can alter the expression of genes linked to schizophrenia in offspring. Read More
A newly identified neural network in the hippocampal formation plays a critical role in memory and object-location learning. The findings are highly relevant to learning and memory disorders, including Alzheimer's disease. Read More
Researchers link the rise in acute stress and depression rates in the U.S to multiple stressors, such as unemployment and coronavirus-related media consumption. Read More
Extracting nanosized exosomes from bone marrow stem cells and injecting them into mice, researchers reverse symptoms of multiple sclerosis. Read More
