Neuroimaging reveals when babies focus their attention, they utilize areas of the frontal cortex, an area of the brain associated with more advanced functions and previously believed to be immature in children under a year of age. Read More
Study identifies 40 genes in mice that actively suppress axon regeneration in the central nervous system. Read More
Combining microscopy with artificial intelligence, researchers were able to visualize the complex architecture of interconnected neurons in live C. elegans. Read More
Injecting a patient's own bone marrow derived stem cells significantly improved motor function within weeks in those with spinal cord injuries. Read More
Both the orthonasal and retronasal routes, in addition to our taste buds, shape our taste perception of foods. Read More
Dietary changes to include more foods containing oleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid, may help to increase the number of regulatory T cells in patients with multiple sclerosis. Read More
When people agree, their brains display a synchrony of activity in sensory areas. When they disagree, may other brain regions associated with cognitive function become active. Read More
Gene expression patterns in four regions of the prefrontal cortex are distinctly different in those who have been diagnosed with PTSD compared to those who have not. Major differences were seen in interneurons, which inhibit the immune system and microglia in the central nervous system. Findings shed light on why women are more likely to experience PTSD and compound a link between post-traumatic stress and a dampening of the immune system. Read More
GLP1R neurons play a critical role in initiating the nausea response. Read More
Children as young as four are more willing to make personal sacrifices to punish those who do wrong, especially if they believe the punishment will teach the transgressor a lesson. Read More
Neuroimaging reveals the higher density of cells in the nucleus accumbens is associated with a larger waist circumference in children. Read More
