Researchers discover rhythmic brain activity helps to maintain temporary m
Updated : 2 years, 10 months ago IST
According to a new study, rhythmic brain activity is essential for temporarily maintaining critical information in memory. Brain rhythms--or patterns of neural activity--organize the bursts of activity in the brain that preserve short-term connections, according to researchers from the Del M

Study reveals how brain makes sense of changing environmental cues
Updated : 2 years, 11 months ago IST
Scientists have gained new insights into the part of the brain that gives us a sense of direction, by tracking neural activity with the latest advances in brain imaging techniques. The findings shed light on how the brain orients itself in changing environments -- and even the processes that

Neural stem cells help maintain their microenvironment: Study
Updated : 2 years, 12 months ago IST
When it comes to cell kinds, stem cells essentially have limitless potential. These self-renewing cells, which may give birth to every cell type in the body, live in niches, which are specialised microenvironments. Researchers in Japan have now thrown fresh light on the dynamics of the neura

Study: Ultra-soft hydrogel-based sensor for monitoring overactive bladder
Updated : 3 years ago IST
The problems of our stomach appear to have been aggravated by modern living. Irritable bowel syndrome and overactive bladder syndrome are becoming more common in people who do not show evidence of infectious diseases or other known conditions, but rather report suffering unexpected symptoms.

Updated : 3 years ago IST
Globally, an estimated 8 million newborns are born with a birth defect every year. Nine out of every ten children born with a serious birth defect are in low- and middle-income countries. The most common severe birth defects are heart defects, neural tube defects and Down syndrome, but there

Study reveals how neural stem cells potentially be reactivated to form new
Updated : 3 years ago IST
Neural stem cells that are quiescent or latent in some parts of the adult brain may one day become active and create new neurons. Yet, nothing is currently known about the change from quiescence to proliferation.

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,
