Study gives new insights into understanding of autism
Updated : 3 years 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.

Researchers find neurons that learn to smell a threat
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
We use our sense of smell to determine whether a new environment is safe or dangerous, whether we are aware of it or not. In fact, much of the animal kingdom relies on this ability for survival and reproduction.

Research sheds light on organs of innermost ear which sense head position
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Specialized synapses in our sensory organs enable us to walk, dance, and tilt our heads without experiencing vertigo or losing our balance. These synapses process messages more quickly than any other part of the human body.

Researchers find ketamine can increase brain noise
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
An international team of researchers has found that ketamine, being an NMDA receptor inhibitor, increases the brain's background noise, causing higher entropy of incoming sensory signals and disrupting their transmission between the thalamus and the cortex.

Scientists explore the latent regenerative potential of the inner ear
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Scientists from the USC Stem Cell laboratory of Neil Segil have identified a natural barrier to the regeneration of the inner ear's sensory cells, which are lost in hearing and balance disorders. Overcoming this barrier may be a first step in returning inner ear cells to a newborn-like state

Ancient superpredator got big by front-loading its growth in its youth: St
Updated : 3 years, 3 months ago IST
Whatcheeria, a six-foot-long salamander-like creature that lived 340 million years ago, was the T. rex of its time: the biggest, baddest predator in its habitat. A new study reveals how they grew to their "giant" size: instead of growing slow and steady throughout their lives like many moder
