6+ hour, 14+ min ago   (480+ words) UC Santa Barbara researchers have found that triggering a stress response in glioblastoma cells, a type of aggressive brain cancer, can suppress their growth and invasion. Their findings suggest new therapeutics in the treatment of the hard-to-access tumors. “There might…...

Currently, autonomic nervous system neuromodulation (ANS-NM) is proven to treat conditions in the brain like epilepsy, depression and post-stroke rehabilitation. “ANS-NM works…...

4+ hour, 48+ min ago   (271+ words) The brain’s activity immediately before stimulation may help predict its response and improve the consistency of neuromodulation. The same brain stimulation can produce very different responses depending on when it is delivered. A study published in Brain Stimulation, using detailed…...

7+ hour, 54+ min ago   (296+ words) For decades, biologists assumed that cells transmit instructions mainly through the concentration of signaling molecules — the higher the level, the stronger the response. Yet more and more evidence suggests this picture is incomplete: cells also rely on the timing and…...

Synapses—the tiny contact points through which neurons communicate—disappear. Neural circuits become unstable. Astrocytes and microglia become reactive. Amyloid plaques accumulate, and memory and thinking abilities…...
