A new study discovers how nitric oxide triggers a biochemical domino effect in the brain, leading to mTOR overactivation in ...

Advanced 3D reconstructions of the comb jelly’s aboral organ reveal a sensory system far more complex than scientists expected. The organ contains a wide variety of specialized cells and is closely ...

A wave of recent neuroscience research has identified specific molecular and cellular mechanisms through which alcohol disrupts signaling between brain cells, offering a sharper picture of how ...

Researchers challenge the "efficiency" theory of the brain, showing that neurons become more coordinated and share more information as learning occurs.

A new U.S. autism research panel is examining potential causes of autism, sparking debate over science, policy, and the ...

Neurodegenerative disease profoundly affects structures and pathways responsible for memory, cognition, and higher-order ...

A recent study combining neuroscience and artificial intelligence (AI) sheds new light on how memory-related regions of the ...

A growing body of laboratory research suggests that nanoplastics, the near-invisible fragments shed by everyday plastic products, may worsen the biological processes behind Parkinson’s disease.

When a predator like a lion walks through the grasslands, it makes its presence known by roaring, which can be heard miles away. Since the lion is at the top of the food chain, it doesn’t particularly ...

Autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases arise from complex interactions between host genetic susceptibility and environmental factors, particularly the gut ...

Untangling how the human brain functions — and how neurological disorders develop — remains complex and challenging. While decades of work with animal models have broadened knowledge of the ...

Lifestyle choices have a huge bearing on your ability to focus and productivity quotient. So, to perform well in exams and improve concentration, one needs to make smart choices.
