Study suggests new virus found may have coevolved with human lineage

Tokyo Metropolitan University researchers employed long-term skin conductance measurements to distinguish between emotions. Volunteers were given videos representing frightening scenarios, family bonding, and humour, while their skin conductance was measured.

Large language models, a type of AI that analyses text, can anticipate the results of proposed neuroscience studies more correctly than human experts, according to a new study led by UCL (University College London) researchers.

A groundbreaking study has revealed the critical role of gut bacteria in regulating stress responses through interactions with the body's circadian rhythms.

Researchers at Colorado State University discovered an alternative way for studying alterations during the DNA replication process in lab settings using genetically modified yeast. The novel methodology provides a clearer picture than current pharmacological methods for understanding cell cycle arrest, a fundamental mechanism critical to cancer treatment and genetic concerns.

Alzheimer's disease may cause brain damage in two stages, according to new research supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) that uses sophisticated brain mapping methods.

Pancreatic cells, like human cells, have a limit to how much stress they can handle before they start to break down. Through overstimulation of these cells, certain stresses like inflammation and hyperglycemia lead to the onset of type 2 diabetes.

Endosymbiosis is a remarkable biological phenomenon in which one creature resides within another. Such an unconventional partnership is usually advantageous to both parties. Even in human bodies, we find evidence of such cohabitation: mitochondria, the cells' powerhouses, originated from an ancient endosymbiosis. Bacteria long ago invaded and colonized other cells. This coexistence created the groundwork for mitochondria, which are found in the cells of plants, animals, and fungi.

A pioneering study undertaken by a Kumamoto University research team shed light on the crucial role of TRMT10A, a tRNA methylation enzyme, in sustaining brain function. The findings show how TRMT10A deficiency reduces specific transfer RNA (tRNA) levels in the brain, altering protein synthesis and affecting synapse structure and function.

Pregnancy is a transforming period in a person's life during which the body undergoes rapid physiological adjustments to prepare for parenthood, as we all know. What the broad hormonal alterations caused by pregnancy do to the brain is still a mystery.

The Medical University of Vienna's research has significantly advanced our knowledge of how humans perceive heat. A group of scientists has discovered a particular type of cell structure involved in heat recognition.
