The study suggests that mutations in the Usp9X gene could be a potential cause of autism. These mutations disrupt the ...

To understand how these brain cells exchange information through their synapses (junctions to exchange chemical 'messages'), the team of Prof. Joris de Wit (VIB-KU Leuven Center for Brain and ...

A tiny brain for immense discoveries. The fruit fly, this simple vinegar fly, holds within it the secrets of neural connections. Could understanding its brain pave the way for insights into human ...

Using a single-cell sequencing technique, Brazilian researchers have created the first cell atlas of focal cortical dysplasia (FCD), a malformation of the cerebral cortex that leads to drug-resistant ...

Exercise releases neurotransmitters like endorphins; dopamine, part of the brain's reward system; norepinephrine, which can ...

When stimulated, nerve cells generate new tendrils of connection to other nerve cells, called synapses. All learning hinges on the brain’s capacity to form new nerve cell connections ...

New research uncovers how forever chemicals disrupt brain health, highlighting genetic impacts and raising concerns about ...

A breakthrough study published today in the Journal of Neuroscience sheds new light on how brain cells relay critical information from their extremities to their nucleus, leading to the activation of ...

Dubai resident Zahida Abdul Rahiman stopped driving more than 20 years ago. Over the last three months, the 64-year-old has ...
