| Multiple sclerosis drug improves memory in mice modeling Alzheimer’s disease Posted: 05 Nov 2021 12:05 PM PDT Researchers found that glatiramer acetate, a prescription drug currently used to treat patients with multiple sclerosis, improved memory in a mouse model of Alzheimer's disease. |
| Just a game? Study shows no evidence that violent video games lead to real-life violence Posted: 05 Nov 2021 05:41 AM PDT As the latest Call of Duty video game is released in the UK today, and with Battlefield 2042 and a remastered Grand Theft Auto trilogy to follow later this month, new research finds no evidence that violence increases after a new video game is released. |
| Polymer-coated nanoparticles to promote drug delivery to the brain Posted: 05 Nov 2021 05:40 AM PDT Researchers are optimizing polymer-coated nanoparticles to increase their permeability across this barrier and consequently the delivery of encapsulated drugs in the brain. |
| What sponges can tell us about the evolution of the brain Posted: 04 Nov 2021 11:08 AM PDT What can sponges tell us about the evolution of the brain? Sponges have the genes involved in neuronal function in higher animals. But if sponges don't have brains, what is the role of these? Scientists imaged the sponge digestive chamber to find out. |
| Restoring normal sleep reduces amyloid-beta accumulation in mouse model of Alzheimer’s disease Posted: 03 Nov 2021 12:08 PM PDT A team has discovered that, in an animal model of Alzheimer's disease, restoring normal sleep by returning to normal the activity of the thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN), a brain region involved in maintaining stable sleep, reduced the accumulation of A-beta plaques in the brain. |
| Recognizing familiar faces relies on a neural code shared across brains Posted: 01 Nov 2021 12:48 PM PDT The ability to recognize familiar faces is fundamental to social interaction. This process provides visual information and activates social and personal knowledge about a person who is familiar. But how the brain processes this information across participants has long been a question. Distinct information about familiar faces is encoded in a neural code that is shared across brains, according to a new study. |
