Study finds how mutant protein can invade brain
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
In many neurodegenerative diseases, aberrant proteins build up and spread throughout the brain over time. But aggregation or propagation—which comes first? Japanese researchers offer some fresh perspectives on the mechanism underlying Parkinson's illness. In a study published recently in C

Researchers uncover brain waves related to social behaviour
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
Researchers have discovered electrical brain-wave patterns given off during social interactions in mice. They also observed that mice showing signs of stress, depression, or autism lacked these brain waves. The results reveal more about the mechanisms underlying brain activity when socializi
