Play also resulted in reduced stress and anxiety. |
| Brain capillary structures show a correlation with their neuron structures Posted: 14 Jun 2021 10:12 AM PDT Researchers performed microtomography experiments the BL20XU beamline of the SPring-8 synchrotron radiation facility and found that brain capillary structures show a correlation with their neuron structures. |
| Potential new treatment target for Alzheimer's disease Posted: 14 Jun 2021 10:12 AM PDT A new study not only sheds light on how the APOE4 gene may cause some of the pathologies associated with Alzheimer's disease, but also suggests a new treatment target that might help people who carry the APOE4 gene in early and late stages of the disease. Researchers found that APOE4 is associated with the activation of an inflammatory protein that causes a breakdown in the blood-brain barrier which protects the brain. |
| A new model of Alzheimer's progression Posted: 14 Jun 2021 10:12 AM PDT Scientists explore how protein and signaling pathways change in patients with Alzheimer's disease. Their work creates a new model of disease progression, taking advantage of the heterogeneity that is inherent to human studies. |
| Earliest memories can start from the age of two-and-a-half Posted: 14 Jun 2021 08:08 AM PDT On average the earliest memories that people can recall point back to when they were just two-and-a-half years old, a new study suggests. |
| New glial cells discovered in the brain: Implications for brain repair Posted: 14 Jun 2021 08:08 AM PDT Neurons, nerve cells in the brain, are central players in brain function. However, a key role for glia, long considered support cells, is emerging. A research group has now discovered two new types of glial cells in the brain, by unleashing adult stem cells from their quiescent state. These new types of glia may play an important role in brain plasticity and repair. |
| How gender norms and job loss affect relationship status Posted: 14 Jun 2021 06:06 AM PDT Research shows that, in cultures that value men as breadwinners, their unemployment can affect the long-term success of a romantic relationship. |
| Young adults who lost and then restored heart health had lower risk of heart attack, stroke Posted: 14 Jun 2021 06:06 AM PDT A long-term analysis of young adults in Korea found that those with poor heart health had higher rates of cardiovascular disease at a younger age. Young adults with poor cardiovascular health who improved their cardiovascular health over time reduced their chances of heart attack, stroke or heart failure later in life. Those who maintained good cardiovascular health from a young age had the lowest risk of premature cardiovascular disease. |
| Study suggests no link between antiseizure drugs used in pregnancy and cognitive problems in babies Posted: 07 Jun 2021 01:09 PM PDT New findings suggest there is no difference in cognitive outcomes at age 2 among children of healthy women and children of women with epilepsy who took antiseizure medication during pregnancy. |
