Hormone levels fluctuate like the tides, ebbing and flowing according to carefully orchestrated cycles. These hormones not only influence the body, but can cross into the brain and shape the behavior ...

Researchers have mapped how "histone bivalency" acts as a molecular clock for brain development. By holding genes in a poised state, this mechanism ensures neurons mature only after completing ...

To gain better insight into what's happening in the brain, researchers examine the molecules produced by brain cells, ...

Brain imaging offers a way to examine how different regions of the brain participate in cognitive function”— Dr.

The Importance of Gliotransmitters for Brain Function, Plus Cognitive and Motor Efficiencies Gliotransmitters are neurochemicals released by glial cells. They support communication between neurons and ...

Scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies and Sanford Burnham Prebys explore genetic factors in separate papers ...

Glial cells, also known as neuroglia, are non-neuronal cells that play a crucial role in various neurophysiological processes. They not only support nervous system structures but also contribute to ...

In A Nutshell Scientists reprogrammed skin cells from children with Sanfilippo syndrome into lab-grown brain cells and found ...

Researchers have defined a new genetic disease caused by a mutation in the IVNS1ABP gene. The condition marks a rare combination of premature physical aging and progressive neurological decline caused ...
