A neurosteroids approach to alleviate depression, using CRISPR technology, is being investigated by researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and Sage Therapeutics in Boston. Most antidepressant […]
Men pick up on visual motion significantly faster than women do, researchers report. They say that the faster perception of motion by males may not necessarily reflect better visual processing. […]
A new biosensor to optically has been used to track the movements of the neurotransmitter glycine for the first time, international team of scientists reports. Lead researcher Associate Professor Colin […]
A synthetic chemical, named KHS101, is able to cut the energy source of tumour cells from glioblastoma, leading to the death of the cells, researchers have shown. The finding represents […]
A potential genetic link between circadian disruption and mood disorders has been identified by scientists at the University of Glasgow. Circadian rhythms are regular 24-hour variations in behaviour and activity […]
Mast cells, immune cells usually ignored by neuroscientists, seem to play a key role in determining whether an animal’s sexual behavior will be more typical of a male or female, […]
Sleep-deprived people feel lonelier and less inclined to engage with others, avoiding close contact in much the same way as people with social anxiety, researchers at the University of California, […]
Color, contrast and motion are only some of the many things our brain needs to process when it receives information about our surroundings. From the moment light hits our eyes, […]
