A new system for distinguishing cell types in the brain, has been announced by the Blue Brain Project. It represents an algorithmic classification method that the researchers say will benefit […]
Differences in growth patterns of neurons of SSRI-resistant patients have been discovered by researchers at Salk Institute. The work has implications for depression as well as other psychiatric conditions such […]
The atomic structures of the abnormal tau filaments associated with chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a head injury-associated neurodegenerative disease, are investigated in new research from the MRC Laboratory of Molecular […]
A novel imaging technique provides structural information about brain tissue that was previously difficult to access. Diattenuation Imaging (DI), developed by scientists at Forschungszentrum Jülich and the University of Groningen, […]
An active plant-based substance that has been known for 30 years could unexpectedly turn into a ray of hope against eye tumors. The coralberry decorates many German living rooms during […]
Scientists have long theorized that attention to a particular object can alter perception by amplifying certain neuronal activity and suppressing the activity of other neurons (brain “noise”). Now, researchers from […]
People with multiple sclerosis who took a beta interferon drug had a 32 per cent lower mortality risk than those that did not take the drug, a new study has […]
Split seconds before we recall memories of past experiences, tiny electrical waves, called ripples, may flow through key parts of our brains that help store our memories, setting the stage […]
