The mechanisms that determine how information is allocated to specific regions and cells in the brain are important for memory capacity, storage and retrieval, but are poorly understood. We ...

Scientists have designed and developed novel biosensors that allow the simultaneous study of both sensory evoked neuronal activity and transcription factor dynamics. Our brains have a remarkable knack ...

Researchers discover that the GPR3 receptor acts as an immediate-early gene to jumpstart neuron and synapse development.

Scientists have discovered how a single molecular "on switch" triggers gene activity that might cause effects ranging from learning and memory capabilities to glucose production in the liver. They ...

Scientists know that the ravages of Alzheimer disease cripple the ability to lay down new memories, but the precise molecular dance that determines the success or failure of memory formation is still ...

No man is an island, and no neuron is either: complex, intricate connections between and among brain cells are needed for the brain to do its job correctly. Now, researchers from Japan have uncovered ...

Despite increasing evidence linking alcohol consumption to cancer, little is known about the biological mechanisms behind the association. A new study, published Aug. 12 in Cellular and Molecular ...

A single center retrospective cohort study of patients with metastatic breast cancer and leptomeningeal disease: Updated survival data and subgroup analyses by breast cancer subtype. Updated safety ...
