The result might be a beneficial therapeutic effect, but also side effects. One way to make more sense of neuron biology is to use chemogenetic technologies. That's when scientists design receptor ...
GPCRs (G protein-coupled receptors) are involved in a wide variety of biological processes, including the initiation of signaling pathways in inflammation and neurotransmission. 2 Their first use for ...
Researchers from the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences at the University of Oxford, along with colleagues at Cambridge University and Barts and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry, ...
Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological diseases in the world. International health institutions estimate that over 50 million people worldwide are affected by it. Seizures, the hallmark ...
A mouse that has forgotten how to navigate a maze it once knew is, in neuroscience terms, a model of what dementia does to a ...
They focused on the prelimbic cortex and hippocampus, which are known to be highly vulnerable to stress. "We were surprised to find that the effects of our chemogenetic manipulations in the two brain ...
Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a chronic disorder caused by the hyperactive functioning of a damaged trigeminal nerve that provokes severe facial pain coming from the trigeminal nerve. The alterations ...
