(Medical Xpress)—Parkinson's disease (PD) – an incurable, progressive illness caused by dysfunction and death of dopaminergic neurons in the brain (mainly in the substantia nigra) – results in a wide range of symptoms, ...
(Medical Xpress)—In dynamic neuronal networks, pervasive oscillatory activity is usually explained by pointing to pacemaking elements that synchronize and drive the network. Recently, however, scientists at The Weizmann ...
(Medical Xpress)—One of the most fascinating and fast-growing areas in neuroscience is evolutionary neurobiology - an interdisciplinary scientific research field at the intersection of neuroscience, evolutionary biology, ...
(Medical Xpress)—One of the most challenging problems in biology is the extreme difficulty in predicting phenotype from genotype – and the questions it creates: If we could rear genetically identical individuals from ...
(Medical Xpress)—A long-standing assumption in aging research, and therefore in resulting antiaging interventions, is that modifying genetic and environmental factors to extend lifespan also increases healthspan – the ...
(Medical Xpress)—Programmers typically evolve new code by copying and modifying existing code to meet new needs. With the more advanced programming languages, they also make use of something known in the business as polymorphism—the ...
(Medical Xpress)—In 1949, Donald O. Hebb (often called the father of neuropsychology and neural networks) published The Organization of Behavior: A Neuropsychological Theory1, connecting the two previously distinct areas ...
(Medical Xpress)—Current therapies for cancer, wound healing, inflammation, and many other diseases – as well as protocols for drug reloading of vascular grafts and stents – often rely on so-called drug delivery depots, ...
(Medical Xpress)—If you ask a child which is the world's fastest animal, they may tell you anything from cheetah, falcon or swift, to sailfish. If you ask a neuroscientist what is the fastest spiking neuron, you probably ...
(Medical Xpress)—In the ongoing quest to design new beneficial molecules or identify potential drugs catalogued in pharmaceutically databases, a critical requirement is determining how a ligand (typically a modulator, or ...
