Kidney And Nerve Cells Can Form Memories, Not Just The Brain: Study
A groundbreaking study by New York University (NYU) reveals that memory formation isnt limited to brain cells but may occur in various body cells, altering our understanding of memory.

Memories Are Not Limited to Brain, New Study Claims
A study from NYU reveals that kidney and nerve cells can perform memory-like functions, suggesting memory capabilities are not restricted to the brain. By replicating a spaced learning process, scientists observed memory gene activation in these non-neural cells, expanding possibilities for enhancing learning and treating memory-related health issu...

Innovative mRNA Delivery Technique Could Correct Genetic Disorders Before Birth
A recent study from UC Davis and UC Berkeley has unveiled a groundbreaking mRNA delivery method capable of editing genes in fetal brain cells. By administering mRNA encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles, researchers successfully targeted genetic disorders such as Angelman syndrome before birth. This approach, which minimizes risks of inflammation, of...

How Ukraine's Military Gadgetry Is Helping Fend Off Russia's Invasion
The science conference had all the hot topics you'd expect, from artificial intelligence to gene therapy. But this year's annual gathering of brains in Kyiv had a decidedly Ukrainian twist.

Changing Sleep Patterns Affect Teenager's Brain Development, Says Study
Few years ago, a study had said that our genes determine if we like to sleep early or late.

Scientists Create World's First "Synthetic" Embryo With Brain, Beating Heart: Report
Scientists from the University of Cambridge have created world's first "synthetic" embryo that has a brain, a beating heart, and the building blocks for every other organ in the body.

New Study Might Lead to New Therapeutic Approach for Treating Alzheimer’s Disease
Researchers have used a new CRISPR technology that enables them to control these microglia cells. This, according to the team, can lead to a new approach to the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. The team geared up to detect the genes that were responsible for specific states of the microglial activity. With this, they could switch the genes on and ...

Autism-Linked Gene Mutation Reversed Using Lab-Grown Brain Experiment
The researchers studied the progress of tissues of the lab-grown brain and compared them against tissues from more typical TCF4 genes to identify the difference.

Chinese Scientists Add Human Brain Genes Into Monkeys
Scientists in China have created a new kind of monkey using human brain genes in an attempt to understand how human brains develop.

Chinese Scientists Create Monkeys With Human Brain Genes
Chinese scientists have implanted human brain genes into monkeys, in a study intended to provide insights into the unique evolution of human intelligence.

Gene-Edited Twins May Be First Humans With "Accidentally" Enhanced Brains
Chinese twins Lulu and Nana had their genes altered before birth with a gene-editing tool. The Chinese scientist, He Jiankui, had claimed to have edited the DNA of their embryos in order to make them immune to acquiring HIV that causes AIDS.

What Is Autism Spectrum Disorder? Here's Everything You Should Know About It
Autism spectrum disorder is a condition which is related to brain development that impacts how a person interacts with others, perceives and socializes with others, causing problems in social interaction and communication.

How Binge Drinking Affects Male And Female Brains?
Repeated binge drinking was found to significantly alter molecular pathways in the nucleus accumbens -- a region of the brain linked to addiction.
