Memories might be lost if two crucial brain areas fail to sync: Research
Updated : 2 years, 11 months ago IST
Many unique groups of neurons connected inside and across crucial areas of the brain aid in learning, remembering, and retrieving memories. A recent study led by the universities of Bristol and Heidelberg showed that if these neuronal assemblies fail to sync up at the correct time, memories

Memories could be lost if two key brain regions fail to sync: Research
Updated : 2 years, 12 months ago IST
Several distinct groupings of neurons connected inside and across critical parts of the brain assist learning, remembering, and retrieving memories. A recent study led by the universities of Bristol and Heidelberg discovered that if these neuronal assemblies fail to sync up at the correct ti

Researchers give insight into techniques to reduce neuronal deterioration,
Updated : 3 years ago IST
While medications to reduce the course of neurodegenerative disorders are available, there are no treatments. Researchers at Boston Children's Hospital and Harvard Medical School, on the other hand, are searching for innovative techniques to reduce neuronal deterioration and cure amyotrophic

Astrocyte cells critical for learning skilled movements: Research
Updated : 3 years ago IST
Throughout our lifetimes, we have acquired the ability to do a variety of skilled movements, from driving a car to swinging a tennis racket. You might believe that only neurons carry out this learning, but a recent study by scientists at The Picower Center for Learning and Memory at MIT demo

Researchers discover therapeutic target to aid glaucoma treatment
Updated : 3 years ago IST
A damaged optic nerve underlies the neurodegenerative illness glaucoma, which results in visual loss and eventual blindness. Glaucoma affects more than 2,00,000 persons in the United States annually. Regrettably, there is no cure at this time. Researchers discovered that neurons use mitochon

Updated : 3 years ago IST
When these POMC neurons become super active, these sort of behavioural problems result and when scientists reduce their activity, it reduces the behaviours. The report was published in the journal Molecular Psychiatry.

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,

Everything you need to know about how blood-brain barrier works
Updated : 3 years ago IST
Researching the wall separating the circulatory system from the neurological system has been highly difficult or limited in its use of models. In order to properly investigate potential new treatments for brain tumours, researchers have created a more realistic model.
