Early life exposure to nicotine alters neurons in the brains of newborn mice, increasing their preference for the drug in later adulthood, researchers at University of California San Diego School […]
Stem cells derived from the placenta known as Cdx2 cells can regenerate healthy heart cells after heart attacks in animal models, new research from Icahn School of Medicine at Mount […]
When making a complex decision, we often break the problem down into a series of smaller decisions. For example, when deciding how to treat a patient, a doctor may go […]
The acyl-CoA-binding protein, or ACBP, has a direct influence on the neurons that allow rodents and humans to maintain a healthy weight, researchers from the University of Montreal Hospital Research […]
Grapheme-colour synesthesia provides a clear advantage in statistical learning – an ability to discern patterns – which is a critical aspect of learning language, an experiment led by University of […]
A genomic incompatibility could explain why many kidney transplants fail, even when donors and recipients are thought to be well-matched, a new study from researchers at Columbia University Vagelos College […]
The growth of inhibitory synapses is specifically stimulated in the vicinity of excitatory synapses, researchers at Utrecht University have discovered. The vast majority of synapses are excitatory, which increase the […]
The ebb and flow of gene expression that may wake neural stem cells from their slumber has been revealed by researchers at Kyoto University studying brain chemistry in mice. The […]
