How brain cells are starved of energy in autophagy dysfunction: Study
Updated : 2 years, 10 months ago IST
According to new research, neurodegeneration in brain cells may occur when the normal cellular cleansing mechanism failed owing to declining levels of a coenzyme related to niacin and deprives cells of energy.

Study finds how some brain cells transfer material to neurons
Updated : 2 years, 10 months ago IST
UC Davis researchers are the first to describe how oligodendrocyte-lineage cells transfer cell material to neurons in the mouse brain. Their findings show that these cells and neurons interact in a coordinated nuclear manner.

Tick infection affects various cell types in brain: Study
Updated : 2 years, 11 months ago IST
Depending on whether the affected person's immune system is activated or not, the dreaded tick-borne encephalitis (TBE) virus infects different types of brain cells in different parts of the brain. This is demonstrated in a new study from Ume University in Sweden.

Astrocyte cells critical for learning skilled movements: Research
Updated : 3 years ago IST
Throughout our lifetimes, we have acquired the ability to do a variety of skilled movements, from driving a car to swinging a tennis racket. You might believe that only neurons carry out this learning, but a recent study by scientists at The Picower Center for Learning and Memory at MIT demo

Early-life stress can disrupt brain's reward circuits: Research
Updated : 3 years ago IST
A novel brain link may provide a new therapeutic target for the treatment of mental illness by explaining how early stress and adversity cause the reward circuit in the brain to function improperly. This circuit's dysfunction is regarded to be the root cause of a number of severe illnesses,

Key aspect of finely tuned regulation of gene expression revealed: Researc
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Even though they both develop in the same person and share the same genes, skin cells and brain cells are clearly distinct. They differ because each cell type expresses a unique set of genes that are distinct from those expressed by the other. This is made possible by cellular mechanisms tha

Study reveals key aspect of mechanism of gene expression regulation
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Despite the fact that they both develop in the same person and share the same genes, skin cells and brain cells are clearly distinct. They differ because each cell type expresses a different set of genes than the others. Cellular mechanisms that tightly regulate gene expression make this pos

Researchers explain how little brain is better visualization with the help
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
The cerebellum, or our little brain, is mainly responsible for our motor skills. Furthermore, the structure is important for behaviour and cognition. The cerebellum is a part of your brain located at the back of your head, just above and behind where your spinal cord connects to your brain i

Study: Protein important in development of Alzheimer's disease for normal
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
New research has revealed that the tau protein, which is important in the development of Alzheimer's disease, is also involved in normal learning processes in the healthy brain, potentially providing a target for future drug therapies.

Study: Revealing roles of dementia proteins in normal memory
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
New research has revealed how the tau protein, a critical element in the formation of Alzheimer's disease, is also involved in normal learning processes in the healthy brain, potentially providing a focal point for future drug therapies.
