A research team from the Institut de Neurociències at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (INc-UAB) has shown that inhibition through a drug of the Tac2…
These findings may have implications for brain disease, disorders. Scientists at the Krembil Brain Institute, part of University Health Network (UHN), in collaboration with colleagues…
A genetically encoded sensor to detect hallucinogenic compounds has been developed by researchers at the University of California, Davis. Named psychLight, the sensor could be…
Mouse Study Identifies Diverse Spectrum of Neurons That Govern Movement In a mouse study, National Institutes of Health researchers have identified and mapped a diverse…
Psychedelic drugs have shown promise for treating neuropsychiatric disorders such as depression and posttraumatic stress disorder. However, due to their hallucinatory side effects, some researchers…
Researchers at Keck School of Medicine of USC develop signals that could bring color vision and improved clarity to prosthesis for the blind. There are…
Study helps explain baffling neurological symptoms — and why they’re so unpredictable. New research offers an up-close view of how SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes…
New model provides clues into how whisker bending translates to sensory touch signals. We know your cat’s whiskers are handsome — but you can’t even…
New STED technique enables deep-tissue imaging, reveals subcellular dynamics of neurons. Researchers have developed a new microscopy technique that can acquire 3D super-resolution images of…
SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, likely does not directly infect the brain but can still inflict significant neurological damage, according to a new study…
Scientists have discovered a new genetic disease, which causes some children’s brains to develop abnormally, resulting in delayed intellectual development and often early onset cataracts….
3D Deep Neural Network Precisely Reconstructs Freely-Behaving Animal’s Movements Animals are constantly moving and behaving in response to instructions from the brain. But while there…
Scientists find evidence that antibody-based treatments in clinical trials for neurodegenerative diseases may trigger an inflammatory response in human brain immune cells, eroding their positive…
New research reveals how cancer cells endure stress and survive. Publishing in Molecular Cell, an international research team identified mechanisms that human and mouse cells…
The findings could lead to the development of new therapies for sleep disorders caused by stress or a disturbed circadian rhythm. A Nagoya University-led research…
Study finds evidence of more brain aging in people living in disadvantaged areas. Middle-age and older people living in more disadvantaged neighborhoods — areas with…
