From the Sanford-Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute press release: Researchers at Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute (SBP) have identified a peptide that could lead to the early detection of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The discovery,…
From the Emory Health Sciences press release: Scientists have identified an additional group of cells in the brain responsible for keeping us awake: the supramammillary nucleus, part of the caudal hypothalamus. Neurologists had suspected that…
From the Brigham and Women’s Hospital press release: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is known to cause memory loss and cognitive decline, but other functions of the brain can remain intact. The reasons cells in some brain…
From the Frontiers press release: Research published today in Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience shows that challenging situations make it harder to understand where you are and what’s happening around you. A team of researchers showed participants video…
From the Elsevier press release: Using human induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) to model autism spectrum disorder (ASD), researchers at the University of São Paulo, Brazil and University of California, San Diego have revealed for…
From the Elsevier press release: Researchers have found that patients with different types of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have impairments in unique brain systems, indicating that there may not be a one-size-fits-all explanation for the cause…
From the University of Idaho press release: A team led by University of Idaho scientists has found a way to stimulate formation of new neural connections in the adult brain in a study that could eventually…
