According to recent research, dopamine is essential for the growth of neurons. Researchers have shown that autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and disrupted impaired developmental dopamine signalling are related.
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,
Washington [US], October 23 (ANI): New insights into underlying genetics and opportunities for new therapies have been offered by the first induced pluripotent stem cell model of PTSD.
Munich [Germany], August 23 (ANI): A new research has been able to make the state of protein balance visible in the mammalian brain for the first time. In this way, the processes of protein quality control can now be studied in healthy and diseased neurons in more detail.
