A new study shows that enhancing activity of a specific component of 'NMDA' receptors normalizes protein synthesis, neural activity and seizure susceptibility in the hippocampus of fragile X lab mice.

"Brain fog" is an informal term used to describe a range of symptoms caused by a mild loss of cognition (including the ability to think, perceive, learn, or remember). People with brain fog describe ...

Reducing acetylcholine signaling within this small set of brain cells again made flies more sensitive to low doses of alcohol, taking longer to fall asleep and waking up more often. The neurons are in ...

The neurons are in a region of the fly brain which is involved in learning and memory. It functions in many ways like the human hippocampus, where acetylcholine signaling also plays a major role.

In conjunction with the EM connectome maps, the driver lines reported here offer a powerful resource for functional dissection of neural circuits ... (B) An image of a standard fly brain with a ...

South Africans – particularly Gauteng residents – have been complaining about a “fly invasion” in recent weeks. But is there any truth to the pest plague? On social media, South Africans ...

Planes that fly faster than the speed of sound create thunderous supersonic booms. But with NASA's X-59 plane, that could change. The space agency plans for the aircraft's first flight in 2025 ...

(Web Desk) - A breakthrough brain implant has enabled a 69-year-old man with paralysis to fly a virtual drone using just his mind. The surgical implant could help detect and decode the fingers that ...

A groundbreaking brain implant has allowed a paralyzed man to control a virtual drone and fly it through an obstacle course. The feat, as detailed in a study published in the journal Nature ...
