Small cluster of neurons is off-on switch for mouse songs Posted: 14 Jun 2019 01:31 PM PDT Researchers have isolated a cluster of neurons in a mouse's brain that are crucial to making the squeaky, ultrasonic 'songs' a male mouse produces when courting a potential mate. |
Beyond Queen's stomp-stomp-clap: Concerts and computer science converge in new research Posted: 14 Jun 2019 09:58 AM PDT New research suggests how to get large numbers of people engaged in participating during a live performance like a concert -- or a lecture -- and channel that energy for a sustained time period. |
Scientists develop 'mini-brain' model of human prion disease Posted: 14 Jun 2019 08:19 AM PDT Scientists have used human skin cells to create what they believe is the first cerebral organoid system, or 'mini-brain,' for studying sporadic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). CJD is a fatal neurodegenerative brain disease of humans believed to be caused by infectious prion protein. The researchers hope the human organoid model will enable them to evaluate potential CJD therapeutics and provide greater detail about human prion disease subtypes. |
