Study suggests stem cells help determine new schizophrenia drugs
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Neurodegenerative and psychiatric illnesses can be brought on by inflammation and an overactive immune system in the brain, which results in the loss of synapses and the death of neurons.

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

Research: Pair of key enzymes help regulate genome
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
After an intrepid, decade-long search, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists say they have found a new role for a pair of enzymes that regulate genome function and, when missing or mutated, are linked to diseases such as brain tumors, blood cancers and Kleefstra syndrome a rare genetic, neurocog

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

Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
The brain's plasticity--its capacity to change itself by reorganising preexisting neural networks and establishing new ones to acquire new functional properties--makes it possible to learn a new task, master a musical instrument, or adjust to the environment's constant change. Additionally,

Study reveals how neurons respond to aged-related iron accumulation
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
Iron (Fe) accumulates in the brain cortex with aging. A plethora of studies indicate that progressive iron accumulation in the substantia nigra (SN) in the aged human brain is a major risk factor for Parkinson's disease (PD) and other neurodegenerative diseases, but not everyone. This is bec
