MIT researchers devise process to convert skin cell directly into neurons
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
Researchers devised a process to convert a skin cell directly into a neuron, eliminating the need to generate induced pluripotent stem cells. Such neurons could be used to treat spinal cord injuries or diseases such as ALS.

Graphene oxide nanoflakes lower toxicity of Alzheimer's proteins: Study
Updated : 2 years, 5 months ago IST
The collection of chemicals known as amyloid peptides is thought to be an early driver of Alzheimer's disease. These trigger cell death and are typically found in Alzheimer's patients' brains. Researchers at Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden have now demonstrated that after being t

Silent synapses are abundant in the adult brain: Study
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
Neuroscientists discovered that the adult brain contains millions of 'silent synapses' immature connections between neurons that remain inactive until they're recruited to help form new memories.

Study identifies neurons in brains that react when they hear 'singing'
Updated : 4 years ago IST
Massachusetts [US], February 27 (ANI): Doesn't our mind feel at ease when we hear soothing songs, and at other times, feels like dancing when hearing a heart-pumping number? Does the brain react differently to different types of songs? In a first, MIT neuroscientists have identified a popula

Scientists compare human brain neurons with crabs to validate RNA sequenci
Updated : 6 years, 2 months ago IST
Washington D.C. [USA], Dec 16 (ANI): While we can count on crab as one of the tastiest delicacies of the seafood, its nervous system could help scientists learn what causes single neurons in the human brain to become out of whack, says a recent study.
