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

How humans feel pain of others: A deep analysis
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
A new study from the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience recorded from neurons of human patients to show that the pain of others is directly mapped onto neurons in the insula - a brain region critical for our own emotions.

Neuroscientists look deep into the eyes of the octopus: Research
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
By studying the visual system of an octopus, researchers hope to understand how its brain organization compares to that of humans and other vertebrates. Their results could provide insight into the evolution of visual systems across species.

Research: Growing motor neurons guided by 'love-hate relationship' with bl
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
When neurons involved in movement called motor neurons form, they must build connections that reach from the brain, brainstem, or spinal cord all the way to the head, arms, or the tips of the toes. How neurons navigate these systems and "decide" where and how to grow has largely been a myste

Researchers uncover brain waves related to social behaviour
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
Researchers have discovered electrical brain-wave patterns given off during social interactions in mice. They also observed that mice showing signs of stress, depression, or autism lacked these brain waves. The results reveal more about the mechanisms underlying brain activity when socializi

Cellular housekeeping process implicated in fatal neurological disorder Hu
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
Huntington's disease, a fatal, inherited neurodegenerative condition, is caused by a genetic error present at birth, though its symptoms often don't begin until middle adulthood. Scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have been trying to understand how the ageing

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.

Study suggests neurons in amygdala are to be blamed for junk food cravings
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
Washington [US], October 21 (ANI): Researchers have found that the region of the brain called the amygdala, which is responsible for powerful emotions like fear, might also be the reason behind overeating.
