Feb. 29, 2024 A new study is shedding light on our understanding of the molecular origins of some forms of autism and intellectual disability. Researchers were able to successfully capture atomic resolution images ...
Feb. 29, 2024 Researchers report that a single glial cell uses different molecules to communicate with different neurons. Careful clustering of these molecules ensures that the glial cell can conduct a distinct ...
Feb. 28, 2024 New research provides new insights into the brain processes underlying cocaine addiction. The findings are crucial for developing new therapeutics and identifying an imaging marker for cocaine use ...
Feb. 28, 2024 Researchershave found that brain cell activity during sleep is responsible for propelling fluid into, through and out of the brain, cleaning it of ...
Feb. 28, 2024 The eyes have been called the window to the brain. It turns out they also serve as an immunological barrier that protects the organ from pathogens and even tumors, researchers have found. In a new ...
Feb. 28, 2024 Scientists may have discovered a new way to test for autism by measuring how children's eyes move when they turn their ...
Feb. 28, 2024 Scientists have created a novel organoid model of the human brain that contains astrocytes -- which have been excluded from other models thus far -- to study inflammation in diseases like ...
Feb. 27, 2024 A new study shows oxygenation levels in the placenta, formed during the last three months of fetal development, are an important predictor of cortical growth (development of the outermost layer of ...
Feb. 27, 2024 Researchers have developed a simulator that enables artificial visual observations for research into the visual prosthesis. This open source tool is available to researchers and offers those who are ...
