Researchers have identified a potential diagnostic tool for schizophrenia by measuring brain cell activity between the ...

In humans, the main molecular energy carrier is adenosine triphosphate (ATP). It is critical for cellular functions all over the body, especially in the brain. Its synthesis, which occurs in the ...

“It took an eternity until mathematicians finally invented zero as a number.” Perhaps that’s no surprise given that the concept can be difficult for the brain to grasp. It takes children longer to ...

Hold the morning coffee and meditation: for about 75 days over the span of a year, neuroscientist Carina Heller’s morning ritual included climbing into her university’s brain scanner at 7:30 a ...

According to a survey published in March, 87% of Americans are concerned about age-related memory loss and a decline in brain function as they grow older, yet only 32% believe they can take action ...

Neural stem cells are the source of the brain's primary functional cells. After the initial development of the brain, neural stem cells typically enter a dormant state, conserving energy and ...

Summary: SUMO proteins play a key role in activating dormant neural stem cells, vital for brain repair and regeneration. This finding, centered on a process called SUMOylation, reveals how neural stem ...

At the University of Central Lancashire, my research team is using induced-pluripotent brain stem cells which were reprogrammed from skin cells of patients with Alzheimer’s disease. We aim to ...

You will develop an understanding of cognitive sciences and neurosciences, exploring how mechanisms at the molecular, cellular, network, and system levels influence normal brain function and disease.
