The discovery could immediately lead to new opportunities for drug development. Adenosine, a neurotransmitter, has been found to act as a brake on dopamine, another…
CU Anschutz researchers suspect it disrupts the olfactory tract, impacting the hippocampus which controls memory and learning. Viruses can inflame and disrupt connections between the…
Breathing is essential for survival, but taking in a breath of fresh air does more than just keep us alive. “Breathe in… Breathe out…” It’s…
Findings underline the importance of a strength-based rather than a deficit-based focus on aging and older adults. What are the keys to “successful” or optimal…
To learn to socialize, zebrafish need to trust their gut. Gut microbes encourage specialized cells to prune back extra connections in brain circuits that control…
Neuroscientists have discovered a set of brain cells that influence the motivation of mice to perform tasks for rewards. Increasing the cells’ activity makes a…
Research identifies target for potentially developing new therapies to treat age-related cognitive decline. One of the most upsetting aspects of age-related memory decline is not…
A group of neuroscientists developed a test to detect a novel marker of Alzheimer’s disease neurodegeneration in a blood sample. A study on their results,…
For the first time, a new study has identified enlarged perivascular spaces in the brains of migraine sufferers. Results of the study were presented recently…
Scripps Research and MIT scientists find that a modified immune protein harming brain connections is much more common in the brains of women with Alzheimer’s,…
Immune cells in brain and spinal fluid become dysregulated and ‘a little angry’ as we age. Cerebrospinal fluid immune system is drastically altered in individuals…
Octopuses are not like humans – they are invertebrates with eight arms and are more closely related to clams and snails. Despite this, they have…
Study of hearing in old and young mice suggests the brain might be trained to filter out background sound. Looking for answers about how the…
Florida State University College of Medicine researchers have linked aspartame, an artificial sweetener found in nearly 5,000 diet foods and drinks, to anxiety-like behavior in…
Method offers new approach to treating neurological conditions such as epilepsy. A new method to target diseased neurons in the brain and change their long-term…
A new study will aid in the development of rehabilitation strategies for individuals who are suffering from anxiety disorders. Researchers from Ural Federal University (UrFU)…
A new study explores how new information is across the sleep-wake cycle. Researchers discovered a new daily rhythm in a kind of synapse that dampens…
