In a new study published in Science Signaling titled, “Restoration of striatal neuroprotective pathways by kinase inhibitor treatment of Parkinson’s linked-LRRK2 mutant mice,” researchers from ...

Neuroscientists from Johns Hopkins Medicine say they have determined how a brain cell surface molecule shapes the way certain neurons behave. The research, published October 2 in Nature, reveals how a ...

Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is an inherited genetic developmental condition that strongly impacts brain development. Despite the syndrome stemming from an altered genetic code for the single protein ...

A new study identifies a neuronal circuit from the motor cortex to the insular cortex, offering a new target for non-invasive ...

Neuronal pathways originating from the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) of the brain participate in different adaptive behaviors, but which pathways are used for distinct adaptive strategies remains unclear ...

Duke Health researchers found a relationship between immune response and neurological behavior after studying mice with a specific gene mutation, which exhibited signs of ADHD in response to an ...

How does the gut talk to the brain? A new study identifies polysaccharides and peptidoglycans as the key bacterial signals ...

Carbon monoxide (CO) is synthesized in neurons by heme oxygenase-2 (HO2). Inhibition or genomic deletion of HO2 reduces neurotransmission in experimental models, suggesting that like nitric oxide (NO) ...
