Study uses clues from body to understand signaling in brain
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
Our biceps and brain cells might have more in common than we believed. According to a new study from the Lippincott-Schwartz Lab, a network of subcellular structures similar to those responsible for propagating molecular signals that make muscles contract are also responsible for transmittin

Mild cognitive impairment is predicted by low protein levels in spinal flu
Updated : 2 years, 7 months ago IST
The amount of a protein linked to learning and memory in mice found in the spinal fluid may act as an early predictor of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) years before symptoms appear, according to a study of cognitively healthy adults.

Scientists reveal that six minutes of high-intensity exercise could delay
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Six minutes of high-intensity exercise could extend the lifespan of a healthy brain and delay the onset of neurodegenerative disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. New research published in The Journal of Physiology shows that a short but intense bout of cycling incr
