Study reveals how brains turn into smarter disease fighters
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Combating Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases by inserting healthy new immune cells into the brain has taken a leap toward reality. Neuroscientists at the University of California, Irvine and the University of Pennsylvania have found a way to safely thwart the brain's resistance

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.

Researchers use technology to show organoids respond to external sensory s
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
A team of engineers and neuroscientists has demonstrated for the first time that human brain organoids implanted in mice have established functional connectivity to the animals' cortex and responded to external sensory stimuli. The implanted organoids reacted to visual stimuli in the same wa

Research suggests direct connection between spatial goals, behaviour in br
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Mice use a specific brain mechanism to automatically flee to cover when threatened, according to study results from the Sainsbury Wellcome Centre and the Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit at UCL. Neuroscientists have never before been able to establish such a strong connection between s

Controversial Alzheimer's drug approval sparks surprising impact in US
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
When the U.S. Food and Drug Administration gave controversial accelerated approval to the first Alzheimer's drug in nearly 20 years, it had a surprising impact on attitudes about research into the disease. A survey by University of California, Irvine neuroscientists has found news coverage o

Neuroscientists shed light on why many children struggle to learn and to r
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
MIT neuroscientists have now discovered that the types of difficulties that lower-SES students have with reading, and the underlying brain signatures, are, on average, different from those of higher-SES students who struggle with reading.

Neuroscientists look deep into the eyes of the octopus: Research
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
By studying the visual system of an octopus, researchers hope to understand how its brain organization compares to that of humans and other vertebrates. Their results could provide insight into the evolution of visual systems across species.

Immune molecule's complex role in Huntington's disease: Study
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
More than a decade before people with Huntington's disease show symptoms, they can exhibit abnormally high levels of an immune-system molecule called interleukin-6 (IL-6), which has led many researchers to suspect IL-6 of promoting the eventual neurological devastation associated with the ge

Study highlights what connects human senses and thoughts
Updated : 3 years, 5 months ago IST
Washington [US], October 2 (ANI): The human brain's neocortex is responsible for our ability to think, determine, remember recent experiences, and so on. Neuroscientists have now discovered important portions of the mechanisms underlying these functions. Their discoveries may eventually aid
