Summary: Researchers identified a new role for the PIEZO2 protein in mediating chronic pain hypersensitivity, suggesting a new target for pain relief. The study showed that...
Summary: A new study reveals how the brain responds to emotionally charged scenes, showing that the occipital temporal cortex (OTC) differentiates emotional stimuli to guide behavior....
Summary: A new study reveals that early changes in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) can lead to measurable local vision loss. Researchers used advanced imaging to find...
Summary: A new study reveals how the brain triggers curiosity in response to visual ambiguity. Researchers identified brain areas that assess uncertainty, sparking curiosity. Using fMRI,...
Summary: Researchers have discovered why migraines are often one-sided, revealing that proteins released during aura are carried to pain-signaling nerves via cerebrospinal fluid. This study highlights...
Summary: A new study finds that higher inflammation in young adulthood is associated with reduced cognitive function in midlife. Researchers discovered that inflammation due to factors...
Summary: Researchers identified protein biomarkers in spinal fluid that can diagnose progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) in living patients. Using high-throughput technology, they found a distinct protein...
Summary: A new study suggests prenatal cannabis exposure may influence long-term brain development and mental health. Researchers used data from the ABCD Study to examine neuroimaging...
Summary: A new study has identified the TRPC5 gene as a cause of obesity, behavioral issues, and postnatal depression. Researchers found that missing or impaired TRPC5...
Summary: A new study reveals that misleading information about depression is widespread, making it harder for people to grasp the causes of their distress. The study...
Summary: Researchers have found that sleep deprivation can hide, rather than erase, memories in mice, and that these memories can be restored using existing drugs. The...
Summary: Researchers have enhanced auditory processing in young mice by increasing inner ear synapses using neurotrophin-3. This study supports the hypothesis that synapse density impacts hidden...
