A Moffitt Cancer Center researcher has introduced a new model that addresses one of biology's most fundamental questions: How does genetic information keep living systems organized and therefore alive?
Science X / Personalized brain-training approach goes after one of depression's hardest-to-break loops
Depression is a debilitating mental health disorder characterized by persistent low mood, a loss of interest in everyday activities, repetitive negative thinking and possible changes in appetite and/or sleeping patterns. ...
Medical Xpress / Early brain regions play greater role in decision-making, challenging traditional neuroscience
New insight into decision-making pathways in the brain may impact the way engineers think about artificial intelligence, according to new research from The Grainger College of Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. ...
Medical Xpress / Excessive cholesterol in astrocytes linked to cognitive decline in Alzheimer's mice
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that leads to progressive memory loss and a decline in mental functions. Several past studies have linked this disease to the accumulation of the protein amyloid-β ...
