Researchers Develop Cell-Level Wearable Devices to Restore Neuron Function
Scientists at MIT have developed groundbreaking cell-wearable devices that mimic natural myelin to treat neurological disorders like multiple sclerosis. These micro-scale devices wrap around neurons and restore disrupted electrical signalling. They are battery-free and activated by light, allowing for non-invasive monitoring and modulation of neuro...

Study Reveals Sleep Disruption Could Increase the Risk of Autism in Children
A recent study from the University of North Carolina indicates a link between early sleep disruptions and a higher risk of autism in children. Sleep is crucial for brain development, and its disruption can lead to long-lasting behavioural changes. Research on young mice shows that sleep loss negatively impacts social behaviour, especially in those ...

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...

New Study Reveals the Brain Stores Multiple Copies of Every Memory
Recent research sheds new light on how the brain stores and manages memories, revealing that it maintains at least three distinct copies of each memory. This study, conducted on rodents, provides valuable insights into the brain's memory encoding process and suggests that multiple types of neurons play a role in storing these memories. The research...

Human Brain Cells Implanted In Rats To Study Schizophrenia, Autism
Scientists have successfully implanted and integrated human brain cells into newborn rats, creating a new way to study complex psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and autism, and perhaps eventually test treatments.

Scientists Find New Brain Mechanism That Could Help Manage Substance Abuse
A new study, based on cocaine-seeking in rats, discovered that inhibiting certain acetylcholine receptors made it more difficult to resist cocaine-seeking urges. These receptors are located in the lateral habenula (LHb), a region of the brain that balances reward and aversion. The study was carried out by the National Institutes of Health under the...

This New Therapy Can Help You Fight Drug Addiction
Researchers have developed a treatment that may help reverse chemical imbalances made to the brain by habitual drug use and could one day help recovering drug addicts avoid future drug use.
-
Scientists Have Found New Treatments For Neurodegenrative Diseases
According to a new study, treatment with klotho protein enhances brain function and could boost brain resilience. A single injection of a fragment of a life-extending protein hormone could improve cognition in those with neurodegenerative illnesses, according to new research which was published on Tuesday.
