Humans owe a great deal to mice. Despite their seemingly vast differences ... Wang argues that the study sheds light on the central role of the dopamine system — the brain’s nerve center for reward, ...

Berbamine (BBM) has shown potential in neuroprotection and cardiovascular disease prevention. This study aimed to investigate the impact of ARG1 deficiency on human brain microvascular endothelial ...

The brain is made up of many varieties of cells. Traditionally, scientists organized brain cells into two major types: neurons and glial cells. Neurons carry electrochemical signals, a bit like ...

In 2023, since a brain implant allowed a paralysed man to walk at a research institute in Switzerland, a flurry of research is continuing in this field. Elon Musk’s Neuralink recently got ...

Previous research has found differences in gene expression between humans and chimpanzees, and that human cells tend to have higher gene expression, but the picture was blurry. The brain is made ...

NIH-funded mouse study provides roadmap for how aging may alter brain cell genetic activity Based on new brain mapping research funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), scientists have ...

For each age, researchers analysed the genetic activity of a variety of cell types located in 16 different broad regions - constituting 35% of the total volume of a mouse brain. Like previous ...

A new technique, still in the experimental stage, achieves this by introducing light into the brains of mice ... cancer cells remain in the area. That is, it is only used when the brain is already ...

The so-called "MouseGoggles" was created to help scientists study brain responses, advancing research into Alzheimer's disease and other neurological conditions. Mouse models have long been used ...
