Mouse study reveals a gene that influences memory recall at different times of the day. Researchers identified how the gene causes mice to be more forgetful just before they normally wake. Read More
Participating in exercise improved synaptic pruning in mouse models of autism. The study also found microglia dependant synaptic pruning is impaired by maternal inflammation, which has been previously connected to the development of ASD. Read More
Optical illusions are helping researchers better understand attention and visual perception. Findings suggest attention operates periodically on the perceptual binding of visual information. Read More
Domestic cats are able to discriminate the content of human speech, including recognizing their names, based upon phonemic differences. Read More
Researchers report histamines can help improve memory of objects up-to 25 days longer than normal in mice, as well as improving people's long term memory test scores. The study suggests taking histamines may help alleviate symptoms of memory disorders such as Alzheimer's and other dementias. Read More
Researchers have identified how a two step control mechanism that assists in the transition of undefined stem cells into neurons. The findings may help develop new regenerative medical therapies for neurodegenerative diseases. Read More
Researchers have identified a specific protein in the cell membranes of sperm that help them navigate their way to the egg for fertilization. Read More
ESP22, a substance found in a baby's tears, makes female mice more likely to reject male sexual advances, researchers report. Read More
Researchers have developed a new method that generates fully functioning skeletal muscle tissue, which they incorporated into a biohybrid robot. The robot was able to generate fluid movement and continued muscle function for over a week. Read More
