Greater understanding of phenomena could enable unprecedented control over gene expression. Magnetogenetics — the idea that you can use magnetic fields to control cells and…
Inset shows a donut-shaped 3D silk scaffold (represented as schematic in background) that has been treated with fetal pig brain extracellular matrix and seeded with…
Findings reveal how CBD and THC levels impact side effects of cannabis. High levels of cannabidiol (CBD) in cannabis can offset the neuropsychiatric effects of…
Researchers at Western University have shown for the first time the molecular mechanisms at work that cause cannabidiol, or CBD, to block the psychiatric side-effects…
Clip from the Human Amyloid Buildup video below. Credit: The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory Long before symptoms like memory loss even emerge, the…
Can you find an elephant in the picture? How about a red and white umbrella? If you looked for those items, you used the pre-supplementary…
Image of a Drosophila brain: Magenta indicates uninvolved synapses in the fly’s brain. The green highlighted neurons use the messenger octopamine to transmit signals from…
Microglia are specialized cells that work to clear away debris in the brain and perform other essential duties. These cells typically become dysregulated in Alzheimer’s…
In human cell cultures, countering a defect that appears to be nearly universal among patients with Parkinson’s disease prevents death in the cells whose loss…
Cells that eventually become neurons (red, orange, and yellow spheres) migrate during embryonic development. The migrating baby neurons that build the spinal cord are color-coded…
Researchers urge continued screening for all toddlers, while recommending changes to M-CHAT screening method to improve accuracy, address disparities. Philadelphia — In the first large,…
Molecular Link Between Chronic Pain and Depression Revealed Researchers at Hokkaido University have identified the brain mechanism linking chronic pain and depression in rats. Their…
Jason Esterhuizen, who lost his vision in a car accident, practices finding objects with his wife, Sumarie. A video camera on his glasses signals an…
UNC School of Medicine researchers led by Ben Philpot, PhD, and Bin Gu, PhD, found that cannabidiol had anti-seizure effects and behavior benefits in animal…
How relapse happens: Opiates reduce the brain’s ability to form, maintain synapses. Preclinical research was focused on revealing the molecular mechanisms behind addiction and relapse.…
Researchers at the University of Missouri used MRI scans similar to this photo to find neurological markers in the human brain. These markers can be…
