Here's how magnetism affects animal behaviour
Updated : 3 years ago IST
Scientists summarize the methods used to explore how the Earth's magnetic field influences the behaviour of various animal species. This review is an ideal starting point for scientists wishing to enter this fascinating but poorly-understood topic in modern sensory biology.

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.

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, 1 month 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, 1 month 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, 1 month 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.
