A new study from Yale University observes how the appetite center of the brain responds to marijuana, revealing what drives the hunger brought about by…
A new Rice-led study reveals how nanoparticles can quickly neutralize superoxides that are overexpressed by the body’s cells in response to an injury. Injectable nanoparticles…
By studying miR-107 in zebrafish, Yale researchers have discovered that miR-107 plays a key role in early brain development, and perhaps in the development of…
Researchers from Yale University found that during seizures the arousal centers in the brain stem are actually suppressed, leading to a loss of consciousness. People…
By scanning the brains of people engaged in selective attention to sensations, researchers from Brown University have learned how the brain appears to coordinate the…
New research in the battle against Alzheimer’s shows that brain immune cells (called microglia) seem to protect the brain by keeping amyloid plaques corralled, and…
