Barcelona [Spain], April 5 (ANI): Researchers have discovered new evidence on the alterations of the neuronal activity that drive cravings during pregnancy.
Washington [US], March 16 (ANI): A novel study has found that the presence of neuronal deposits of the biomarker phosphorylated alpha-synuclein (p-syn) in the brain and the skin of patients with PD distinguishes them from individuals with symptoms of parkinsonism due to the accumulation of a
Connecticut [US], March 8 (ANI): The retina is a layer of photoreceptors cells and glial cells within the eye that captures incoming photons and transmits them along neuronal pathways as both electrical and chemical signals for the brain to perceive a visual picture. Chronically stressing th
Munich [Germany], January 25 (ANI): Breathing is the most persistent and essential bodily rhythm which exerts a strong physiological effect on the autonomous nervous system. It has been known to modulate a wide range of cognitive functions such as perception, attention, and thought structure
Washington [US], December 18 (ANI): A new study has found that the SARS-CoV-2 N-protein interacts with a neuronal protein and speeds the formation of pathological protein bundles that have been implicated in Parkinson's disease.
Washington [US], December 17 (ANI): A team of researchers have found that the SARS-CoV-2 N-protein interacts with a neuronal protein called a-synuclein and speeds the formation of amyloid fibrils, pathological protein bundles that have been implicated in Parkinson's disease.
Basel [Switzerland], December 15 (ANI): Researchers at the University of Basel have tracked the neuronal fingerprint of the two types of sound processing in the mouse brain to understand the switch from hearing to listening.
Washington [US], June 8 (ANI): During a recent study, an interdisciplinary collaboration lead by CSIC deciphered the genetic map of hippocampal sclerosis, a key finding for the diagnosis of temporal lobe epilepsy.
Washington [US], May 8 (ANI): A new University of Iowa study challenges the idea that grey matter (the neurons that form the cerebral cortex) is more important than white matter (the myelin covered axons that physically connect neuronal regions) when it comes to cognitive health and function
Moscow [Russia], February 21 (ANI): Researchers from Skoltech and their colleagues have demonstrated that nanoengineered biodegradable microcapsules can guide the development of hippocampal neurons in an in-vitro experiment. These microcapsules play a critical role in nerve growth factor, a
Moscow (Russia), February 17 (ANI): Researchers during a recent study demonstrated that the development of hippocampal neurons in a vitro experiment can be guided by nanoengineered biodegradable microcapsules. The microcapsules deliver nerve growth factor, a peptide necessary for neuron grow
Helsinki [Finland], December 19 (ANI): An international research group has discovered in the human brain a new functional coupling mechanism between neurons, which may serve as a communication channel between brain regions.
