Study shows how brain's internal compass guides the body
Updated : 2 years, 1 month ago IST
Our sense of direction is essential for navigating the world around us. It serves as the brain's internal compass, guiding us in the right direction and, more significantly, prompting us to reverse course when we're going the wrong way.

Study reveals how common virus can cause multiple sclerosis
Updated : 2 years, 10 months ago IST
The Epstein-Barr virus may cause multiple sclerosis or worsen the condition, according to new research from Sweden's Karolinska Institute. Some people have antibodies against the virus that mistakenly targets a protein in the brain and spinal cord, according to a study published in Science A

Key role identified for nervous system in severe allergic shock
Updated : 2 years, 12 months ago IST
An abrupt drop in blood pressure and body temperature is a key feature of the severe allergic reaction known as anaphylaxis, causing people to faint and, if untreated, potentially die. That response has long been attributed to blood vessel dilation and leakage. However, in a mouse study, res

Premature brain aging is associated with white matter hyperintensity load:
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Brain age is an MRI-derived estimate of brain tissue loss that has a similar pattern to aging-related atrophy. White matter hyperintensities (WMHs) are neuroimaging markers of small vessel disease and may represent subtle signs of brain compromise.

Research: Brain's spatial mapping is supported by molecular processes
Updated : 3 years, 6 months ago IST
Washington [US], August 25 (ANI): Research in mice has cast new light on the molecular mechanisms that underlie spatial mapping in the brain. Scientists have found that a gene called Fos plays a key role in helping the brain use specialized navigation cells to form and maintain spatial maps.
