Noninvasive brain stimulation leads to fine motor improvement after stroke
Stroke is common and accompanied by complex disabilities–such as lower and upper limb disability, speech impairment, and chronic post-stroke pain.
Gene disruption signals cerebral palsy and autism link
University of Adelaide researchers have uncovered a genetic signal common to both cerebral palsy and autism. The finding comes from
People with OCD process emotions differently than their unaffected siblings: A new study in Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging investigates brain processes of emotion regulation in obsessive-compulsive disorder
A new study in Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging reports that people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) feel more distress
Placental ALLO levels rise during pregnancy and peak as fetuses approach full term: Study is largest neonatal sample to date in which multiple steroid hormones were measured
Just as a runner steadily builds up endurance in order to peak at just the right time, the placenta carefully
Wriggling tadpoles may hold clue to how autism develops
You could say Hollis Cline’s lab at The Scripps Research Institute is building better tadpoles. To better understand how humans
Putting proteins in their proper place: Study identifies system that guides misplaced disease proteins back to the nucleus
A host of special molecules called nuclear RNA-binding proteins (RBPs), when misplaced outside the nucleus, form the harmful clumps seen
Leptin’s neural circuit identified: Genome-editing study reveals how hormone helps prevent both obesity and diabetes
Revealing surprising answers to a long-standing enigma about the brain target of the anti-obesity hormone leptin, neuroscientists at Tufts University
Enigmatic gene critical for a healthy brain: New research has shown how an unusual gene is needed for brain development in young mice
New research has shown how an unusual gene is needed for brain development in young mice. Since the human genome
‘Scaffolding’ method allows biochemists to see proteins in remarkable detail: Technique that uses cryo-electron microscopy should help scientists better understand disease-causing proteins
UCLA biochemists have achieved a first in biology: viewing at near-atomic detail the smallest protein ever seen by the technique
