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

Researchers discover how oxytocin drives connections of newly integrated a
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,

New findings on neuronal activities in the sensorimotor cortex: Research
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
An interdisciplinary research team at the University of Freiburg has found important clues about the functioning of the sensorimotor cortex. The new findings on neuronal activities in this brain area could be helpful for the further development and use of so-called neuroprostheses. These hav

Study: Synchronized neural oscillations induce empathic behaviour in brain
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
The underlying neurological mechanism that enables humans to feel empathy has been identified by researchers. Empathy is brought on by synchronised neuronal oscillations in the right hemisphere of the brain, which enables the creatures to sense and share each other's dread.

Genetic malfunction of brain astrocytes triggers migraine: Study
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
Migraine is one of the most disabling disorders, affecting one in seven people and causing a tremendous social and economic burden. Several findings suggest that migraine is a disease affecting a large part of the central nervous system and characterized by a global dysfunction in sensory in

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

Researchers reveal how visual information travels from retina to midbrain
Updated : 3 years, 6 months ago IST
Washington [US], September 13 (ANI): Neuroscientists have revealed the precise connections between sensory neurons inside the retina and the superior colliculus, a structure in the midbrain. Neuropixels probes are a relatively recent development, representing the next generation of electrode

Study: Krabbe disease causes degeneration of neurons directly
Updated : 3 years, 7 months ago IST
Washington [US], August 14 (ANI): According to a new study, the gene defect underlying Krabbe disease causes degeneration of neurons directly, independent of its effects on other cell types. The discovery represents a new mechanism of action for the mutant gene, presenting a more accurate pi
