From the UC Irvine press release via EurekAlert!: UC Irvine neurobiologists have found a novel molecular mechanism that helps trigger the formation of long-term memory. The researchers believe the discovery of this mechanism adds another…
From the Aarhus University press release via EurekAlert!: Viruses and genes interact in a way that may increase the risk of developing schizophrenia significantly. This happens already in the developing foetus. An international team of…
From the CAMH press release via EurekAlert!: Some of the dramatic differences seen among patients with schizophrenia may be explained by a single gene that regulates a group of other schizophrenia risk genes. These findings…
From the University of Oxford press release via EurekAlert!: Genes linked to autism and schizophrenia are only switched on during the early stages of brain development, according to a study in mice led by researchers…
From the UCLA press release via HealthCanal: UCLA researchers, in a finding that runs counter to conventional wisdom, have discovered for the first time that a gene thought to express a stress-response protein in all…
From the UC Irvine press release via ScienceDaily: A variant of a gene associated with active personality traits in humans seems to also be involved with living a longer life, UC Irvine and other researchers…
From the UCLA press release via EurekAlert!: Previous research has found that individuals who become more energized, talkative, and/or social when they drink – versus sedated or sleepy – are more likely to drink heavier.…
From the University of Montreal press release via EurekAlert!: A recent study by a researcher at the Centre for Studies on Human Stress (CSHS) at the Hôpital Louis-H. Lafontaine and professor at the Université de…
From the University of Nottingham press release via HealthCanal: Humans may be endowed with the ability to perform complex forms of learning, attention and function but the evolutionary process that led to this has put…
From the Max-Planck-Gesellschaft press release via ScienceDaily: Abused children are at high risk of anxiety and mood disorders, as traumatic experience induces lasting changes to their gene regulation. Scientists from the Max Planck Institute of…
