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.
The genetic background around APOE region can modify the Alzheimer's disease-associated APOE4 risk effects.
Regulatory T cells interact with skin cells using glucocorticoid hormones to generate new hair follicles and promote hair growth. The findings could have positive implications for the development of new therapies to treat alopecia and other hair loss disorders.
A new study reports infertility in women and miscarriage elevate the risks for both fatal and non-fatal stroke in later life.
Researchers identified three different MINAR2 genetic mutations that were responsible for deafness in 13 people from four different families.
Human cortical networks have evolved a novel neural network that relies on abundant connections between inhibitory interneurons.
Maternal autoantibody–related autism spectrum disorder (MAR ASD) is marked by specific maternal antibodies that react to certain proteins in the fetal brain. Examining the plasma of expecting mothers, researchers found mothers with reactivity to one of the nine MAR ASD patterns were eight times as likely to have a child diagnosed with autism.
Researchers report acupuncture may help alleviate symptoms for sufferers of chronic tension headaches.
At some point, we all face social rejection. Researchers say that while rejection affects us all differently, it's how respond to the setback that determines how rejection affects us.
The amygdala-pons connectivity in the pons-corticolimbic network is significantly stronger in patients with major depressive disorder.
Disabling activity in an area of the brain stem called the area postrema reduces nausea, while activating this area promotes vomiting, a new study reveals. The findings could lead to the development of new therapies to curb nausea.
Study identifies a specific protein in sensory neurons that detects mechanical itch stimuli such as an insect crawling on the skin or when one touches an object that irritates the skin.
