Study: Spinal cord stimulation improves arm, hand movement after stroke
Updated : 3 years ago IST
According to experts, a neurotechnology that stimulates the spinal cord quickly increases arm and hand movement, allowing those suffering from moderate to severe stroke to carry out their routine daily tasks more readily.

Researchers how bacteria use electricity to communicate
Updated : 3 years ago IST
Bacteria use electricity to communicate and react to environmental cues, much like neurons do in human brains. To better understand antibiotic resistance, scientists have now found a mechanism to alter this electrical signalling in bacteria.

Study gives new insights into understanding of autism
Updated : 3 years ago IST
The study revealed that sensory signals from the outside world are integrated differently in Fragile X syndrome (FXS), the most prevalent cause of autism, resulting in them being underrepresented by cortical pyramidal neurons in the brain.

Study discover neurological disease involving cellular recycling process
Updated : 3 years ago IST
ATG4D assists in the autophagy process, which cells utilise to digest and recycle harmed proteins and other damaged parts of the cell to maintain health. Although all cells in the body use autophagy, neurons rely on it more than other cells do in order to survive. However, little is understo

Research finds how long-term memory's "construction site" gets built insid
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Think of a new longer-term memory as a construction site inside the brain. The brain's neurons restructure themselves and build or demolish connections with other neurons to store the memory for retrieval when needed.

Researchers suggest human brain organoids when transplanted into adult rat
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Brain organoids, which are collections of lab-grown neurons, have been demonstrated to integrate with rat brains and respond to visual stimuli like flashing lights.

Study reveals adult brain contains millions of silent synapses
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
The adult brain contains millions of "silent synapses," which are immature connections between neurons that remain inactive until they are recruited to help form new memories, according to MIT neuroscientists.

High fat diet reduce brain's ability to regulate food intake
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Regularly eating a high fat/calorie diet could reduce the brain's ability to regulate calorie intake. New research in rats found that after short periods of being fed a high fat/high calorie diet, the brain adapts to react to what is being ingested and reduces the amount of food eaten to bal

Neuronal molecule makes prostate cancer more aggressive: Research
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death among American men. Now, researchers have discovered critical molecular players that drive prostate cancer to progress into a highly aggressive form of neuroendocrine prostate cancer that currently

Researchers circumvent radiation resistance in subtypes of brain tumours
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Researchers have uncovered a gene that is overexpressed in mutated IDH1. Studies in human cells and a novel mouse model both show that this gene, called ZMYND8, plays a critical role in radiation resistance. When they knocked down the gene, the glioma cells became responsive to radiation tre
