Are you messing with your body clock?
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
Researchers are employing mathematical models to better understand the effects of interruptions to the body's circadian rhythms such as daylight savings time, working night shifts, jet lag, or even late-night phone scrolling. The University of Waterloo and the University of Oxford researche

Small, flexible spinal probe system results in better therapies: Study
Updated : 2 years, 7 months ago IST
Accessing and studying the spinal cord is more challenging than doing so with the brain. It has been challenging to pinpoint exactly how it behaves due to its mobility and anatomical structure.

Study sheds more light on key link to autism spectrum disorder
Updated : 2 years, 7 months ago IST
Mayo Clinic and Yale University scientists determined that the origins of autism spectrum disorder may be related to an imbalance of particular neurons that play a vital role in how the brain communicates and works using human "mini-brain" models known as organoids. The cells in question are

Study finds new mechanism that encourages brain to self-repair after ische
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
Due to the brain's inability to recover after injury, patients frequently endure functional deterioration after an ischemic stroke. However, there is still a chance for recovery since neurons that are still alive can start up repair processes that can reduce or even undo the damage brought o

Tiny, flexible spinal probe system may lead to better therapies: Study
Updated : 2 years, 7 months ago IST
The spinal cord is more difficult to access and research than the brain. The difficulties posed by its mobility and anatomical structure have made it difficult to determine exactly how it acts.

Preclinical test indicates potential for treating neuropathic pain: Study
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
Researchers at the Burke Neurological Institute and Weill Cornell Medicine have completed a preclinical investigation on a non-opioid designer molecule that calms hyperactive pain-sensing neurons in the peripheral nervous system to treat chronic neuropathic pain. The results of the study are

New research links brain waves directly to memory
Updated : 2 years, 7 months ago IST
Neurons in the brain generate rhythmic patterns of electrical activity. One of the unanswered problems in neuroscience is what generates these rhythmic signals, known as oscillations. Researchers at the University of Arizona discovered that simply remembering experiences might trigger them,

Study reveals gene therapy treats chronic pain by dialing down sodium
Updated : 2 years, 7 months ago IST
According to a recent study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), researchers at NYU College of Dentistry's Pain Research Centre have created a gene therapy that cures chronic pain by unintentionally controlling a particular sodium ion channel.
