Transposable elements are hypothesized to have driven gene regulatory innovation, yet their contributions to primate brain development at the cell type level remain underexplored. Here, we use single-cell multiomics data…
The brainstem is a highly conserved integrative hub that is essential for arousal, emotion, and motor control, which are functions profoundly affected in Parkinsonâs disease (PD). However, low signal-to-noise ratios in…
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is a common complication of diabetes with no disease modifying treatments. Despite the prevalence, the molecular mechanisms of DPN are not fully characterized. In this study, we…
A study based on almost 65,000 people from the UK found that sugar rationing may be linked to more than a fifth lower chance of dementia.
Results showed that people who experienced sugar rationing prior to birth and up to 1 year of age had a 21% lower risk of dementia, and those who endured sugar rationing up to two years old had a 23% ...
Jane McClenaghan says a pilot study has found that older adults who combined calorie reduction with time-restricted eating showed greater improvements in memory, learning and problem-solving than thos ...
Musical improvisation suppresses self-critical prefrontal regions in adults and activates intrinsic reward structures in children, demonstrating that generative creativity is an innate brain mechanism.
A new study presents a mathematical framework showing that organisms shift abruptly from reactive to memory-based strategies only when energy resources exceed a critical threshold, with memory offering peak utility under…
The m6A reader protein IGF2BP3 stabilizes TRNAU1AP mRNA to drive protective selenoprotein synthesis, revealing a novel targeted drug vulnerability in glioblastoma.
Oral semaglutide reduces heavy drinking days, daily cravings, and alcohol-related problems in adults with Alcohol Use Disorder.
The ability to diagnose Alzheimer's decades earlier could be a step closer with a new blood test set for clinical trials within months.
Researchers discovered a metabolic paradox during REM sleep: while brain blood volume and fuel supply increase, internal neuronal ATP levels decline.
Scientists developed CapuchinAI, an open-source platform combining facial recognition and touchscreens to automate cognitive testing of wild capuchin monkeys in Costa Rica.
Photoreceptors perform their own internal waste recycling using lysosomal pathways regulated by the PIKfyve enzyme.
When we think of kidney disease, we think of dialysis or a kidney transplant. Less well known is that kidney disease, which affects more than 10% of the world's population, can have significant consequences for the…
MooreWays To Mind Healthtm, a leading integrative mental health practice serving Chester and Delaware Counties, has added two senior clinicians to its team: Dr. Blaine Cloud, a nationally recognized ...
For better or worse, marriage has always been described as two people sharing one life. Now, one of the largest dementia studies ...
Limiting sugar before the age of two is linked to a lower risk of dementia later in life, research suggests. A study based on almost 65,000 people from the UK found that sugar rationing may be linked ...
New research published in Neuro-Oncology offers a glimpse at promising discoveries that could help shape the future of glioblastoma treatment and patient outcomes.
Sugar restriction during the first 1,000 days after conception may significantly reduce a person's risk of developing Alzheimer's by up to 46%. Those are the findings of a new study published in the journal npj Aging…
Dementia Risk Reduction: Participants exposed to sugar rationing in utero and up to one year of age showed a 21% lower risk of developing dementia. Those with rationing through two years of age showed ...
A new study analyzing the effect of World War II-related sugar rationing may shed light on factors that affect lifelong brain health.
Limiting sugar before the age of two could cut risk of dementia, study suggests - Having less sugar before the age of two was found to reduce dementia risk by 23 per cent ...
A cell therapy called deramiocel could slow muscle weakening in boys and young men with advanced Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) and may also slow heart damage in those who already have heart muscle disease, a Phase…
Riding a bike, reading a book or folding laundry while watching TV can feel effortless, almost like your brain does it on autopilot. This ease comes from repetition, built through practicing the same task again and…
Study suggests less sugar in early life is good for long-term brain health, but the evidence is not conclusive.
An overactive immune response in the brain may play a role in Dravet syndrome, a rare and severe genetic epilepsy that typically begins in infancy, according to Weill Cornell Medicine researchers. Children with the…
Those who experienced it before birth and up to two years old had a 23 per cent lower risk of dementia. Dementia was also delayed by an average of 2.6 years in people who consumed lower sugar levels ...
