Astrocytes play a crucial role in spatial learning, researchers discovered.
The SLK protein plays a key role in neuron excitability and sensitivity, researchers report.
UV light from sunbathing and mosquito-borne diseases activate NLRP1 through p38, triggering skin inflammation.
Workers over 50 often benefit from better mental performance, self-confidence, psychological resilience, and a greater sense of well-being, especially if exposed to specific training sessions.
The direction of appetite change associated with depression was linked to specific changes in the brain's reward system.
A new mouse study reveals stress impacts motor learning and may lead to the development of motor deficits. Stress, researchers say, leaves traces in the brain that may be permanent.
Study reports proteins in cow milk trigger autoimmune responses in those with multiple sclerosis, leading to damage of the myelin sheath.
Some neurons become exclusively activated when performing addition, others become active when performing subtraction tasks.
Lack of the SLK protein results in less abundant dendrites. As a lack of SLK is apparent in many patients with epilepsy, the findings could pave the way for new treatments for those suffering from the neurological disorder.
Study reveals lonely people showed reduced activity in the anterior insular cortex, an area of the brain associated with trust formation. The anterior insular cortex was less prominently connected to other brain regions in those who expressed feelings of loneliness.
Microglia immune cells can join together to form networks when needed, a new study reports. However, certain mutations associated with Parkinson's disease can impair this process.
Neurons located in the medial temporal lobe become more active when we make a decision with confidence.
