| Glial cells help mitigate neurological damage in Huntington's disease Posted: 24 Jun 2021 10:55 AM PDT Glia affected by Huntington's disease respond by tuning down synapse genes, which has a protective effect. |
| Posted: 24 Jun 2021 10:55 AM PDT A new study shows that inhibitory neurons do more than just inhibit neuron activity like an off-switch; paradoxically, they actually increase the amount of information transmitted through the nervous system. |
| People with fibromyalgia are substituting CBD for opioids to manage pain Posted: 24 Jun 2021 09:17 AM PDT As the ravages of the opioid epidemic lead many to avoid these powerful painkillers, a significant number of people with fibromyalgia are finding an effective replacement in CBD-containing products, finds a new study. |
| A detailed atlas of the developing brain Posted: 24 Jun 2021 08:44 AM PDT Researchers have created a first detailed atlas of a critical region of the developing mouse brain, applying multiple advanced genomic technologies to the part of the cerebral cortex that is responsible for processing sensation. By measuring how gene activity and regulation change over time, researchers have a better understanding of how the cortex is built and a new tool to explore how it is affected in neurodevelopmental disease. |
| Melatonin in mice: there's more to this hormone than sleep Posted: 23 Jun 2021 11:17 AM PDT Researchers have created a mouse model that allows the study of naturally occurring melatonin. Experiments using the new mice showed that natural melatonin was linked to a pre-hibernation state that allows mice to slow down their metabolism and survive when food is scarce. |
| An unexpected discovery: Inflammatory proteins may slow cognitive decline in aging adults Posted: 23 Jun 2021 06:13 AM PDT In a new study researchers report that elevated levels of two chemical mediators of inflammation, known as cytokines, are associated with slower cognitive decline in aging adults. |
