New gene therapy approach could reverse ALS, say scientists
Updated : 3 months, 4 weeks ago IST
The findings, published this week in the peer-reviewed journal Nature Neuroscience, identify a previously unknown molecular mechanism that drives ALS and demonstrate a potential RNA-based gene therapy capable of stopping nerve degeneration and even regenerating damaged nerve cells.

Genes expressed in brain before birth can affect risk of childhood mental
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
Researchers have discovered a number of genes whose expression in the brain before birth may influence the risk of developing a variety of mental diseases during childhood. The team, led by researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), a founding member of Mass General Brigham (MGB)

Researchers discover brain developing sequence through adolescence
Updated : 2 years, 11 months ago IST
A recent Penn Medicine study found that brain development does not take place consistently throughout the entire brain. It follows a recently discovered developmental progression. Young people are susceptible to socioeconomic situations until adolescence because brain regions that support co

New brain developing sequence which spans through adolescence identified:
Updated : 2 years, 11 months ago IST
Researchers charted how developmental processes unfold across the human brain from the ages of 8 to 23 years old through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The findings indicate a new approach to understanding the order in which individual brain regions show reductions in plasticity during de

Study sheds light on how the brain stores remote fear memory
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
A remote fear memory is a memory of traumatic events that occurred in the distant past, a few months to decades ago. A University of California, Riverside, mouse study published in Nature Neuroscience has now spelt out the fundamental mechanisms by which the brain consolidates remote fear me

Study finds remote fear memories stored in memory neurons in brain
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
A remote fear memory is a recollection of painful experiences that took place in the far past, from a few months to decades. The underlying mechanisms by which the brain consolidates distant terror memories have now been clarified by a University of California, Riverside mouse study that was

Scientists reveal brain mechanism that determines decisions about sharing
Updated : 6 years ago IST
Washington D.C. [USA], Feb 25 (ANI): A recent study has demonstrated that the answer to why some people are generous while some are selfish may be found in an intricate and rhythmic neuronal dance between two specific brain regions, namely, the amygdala and the medial frontal cortex.
