What is neuroscience? Neuroscience is the scientific study of nervous systems. Neuroscience can involve research from many branches of science including those involving neurology, brain science, neurobiology, psychology, computer science, artificial intelligence, statistics, prosthetics, neuroimaging, engineering, medicine, physics, mathematics, pharmacology, electrophysiology, biology, robotics and technology.
New Parkinson's disease research suggests defective regulation of microtubules may be responsible for some cases of Parkinson's disease.
Research into amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, has lead to new information about neuronal loss...
New memory research suggests that lactate and astrocytes have more important roles in long-term memory formation than previously thought by...
Researchers created a wide variety of motor neurons using human embryonic stem cells and a new technique. In previous research,...
Quit smoking messages were more effective when tailored toward an individual and when that individual showed greater activity in self-related...
Scientists show that SR-3306 delivered orally to mice and rat models of Parkinson's disease was able to protect brain cells from neurodegeneration. SR-3306 inhibits the c-jun-N-terminal kinases (JNK) class of enzymes, previously shown to play large roles in neuron survival.
Scientists found that the protein named reelin is deeply involved in the migration of new nerve cells to the neocortex...
Scientists have shown that stem cells delivered to rats via a nasal spray lead to an improvement of motor functions...
Parkinson’s disease may be caused by oxidative stress within cells due to defective nucleoli. Dopamine producing neurons are particularly sensitive...
The researchers claim Taxol was effective in promoting regeneration of injured spinal cord nerve cells in rats following spinal cord lesions. Only a few weeks following the spinal cord lesions and Taxol application, rats showed significant improvement in movements.
The researchers knocked out the Erk gene during peripheral nervous system development in mice. The researchers noticed the neurons of these knock-out mice were largely unaffected, but Schwann cells were "just devastated at every stage of development."
