An antibody called HAE-4 targets APOE and removes Alzheimer's related amyloid plaques in mouse models. The antibody improves blood vessel function in the brain without raising the risk of brain bleeds. Read More
Study reveals a detailed map of gene proteins, infiltrating cells, and signaling pathways that play significant roles in the development and progression of glioblastoma brain cancer. Read More
Detecting and decoding activity in brain regions associated with visual processing allowed researchers to determine what a person sees. Read More
Immune cells in the meninges monitor fluid released from the brain. If the fluid contains signs of infection, disease, or damage, the immune cells initiate an immune response to tackle the problem. Read More
Those with eczema who produce immunoglobulin E in response to environmental allergens are more likely to experience chronic and acute itching. Read More
Chiari 1 malformation, a common brain disorder, appears to be caused to two genetic mutations associated with brain development. Read More
YKL-40 may be a key player in circadian rhythm disruptions associated with Alzheimer's disease. Read More
MTBR tau in the cerebral spinal fluid may help doctors to detect the stage and progression of Alzheimer's disease. Read More
The stronger a memory is as it is first encoded, the easier it is for a person to note subsequent changes and integrate them to update their understanding. Read More
Neurons in the orbitofrontal cortex play a critical role in encoding subjective values. Activation of these neurons leads directly to the choice of one option over another. Read More
Researchers have identified mutations in single genes that appear to be responsible for some cases of cerebral palsy which were not caused as a result of birth injury. Read More
Children whose mothers' used cannabis while pregnant are more likely to have an elevated risk of psychopathology during middle-school. Researchers found those exposed to cannabis in utero were more likely to experience depression, anxiety, attention problems, social-behavioral problems, and sleep disturbances. Additionally, the children showed signs of lower cognitive performance, lower indices of global brain structure, and were more likely to have a lower birth weight. Read More
