Ubiquitous nutrients suppress appetite and promote movement
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
In experiments on mice, researchers show that non-essential amino acids act as appetite suppressants and promote the urge to move. Their research provides insight into the neural mechanism that controls this behaviour.

Rare mutations may have big impact on schizophrenia pathology
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
Researchers have long searched for genetic influences in schizophrenia, a neurodevelopmental disorder that disrupts brain activity producing hallucinations, delusions, and other cognitive disturbances. However, the disease's genetic mutations have been identified in only a small fraction few

Scientists discover why brain's 'time-stamp' sounds to process the words w
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
Our brains "time-stamp" the order of incoming sounds, allowing us to correctly process the words that we hear, shows a new study by a team of psychology and linguistics researchers. Its findings, which appear in the journal Nature Communications, offer new insights into the intricacies of ne

Immune molecule's complex role in Huntington's disease: Study
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
More than a decade before people with Huntington's disease show symptoms, they can exhibit abnormally high levels of an immune-system molecule called interleukin-6 (IL-6), which has led many researchers to suspect IL-6 of promoting the eventual neurological devastation associated with the ge

Research shows how stress affects brain
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
At one time or another, we've all felt paralyzed by a threat or danger. Researchers from the University of Iowa have determined the origin of that response to a threat. According to a recent study, a neural circuit connecting two distinct brain regions controls how animals, including humans,

Neural disruptions underlying feeding, swallowing disorders in children id
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
Every time you chew, talk, yawn, or sense the zap of a toothache, cranial nerve cells are shuttling electrochemical signals to your brain. Some of these neurons detect pain, while others sense facial muscle movements or sensations in the skin.
