In a study of 115,803 individuals, the authors have identified 233 sites or loci in the human genome that contribute to the onset of MS. This is the largest study to date in MS.
Read moreResearchers have developed a superior method to describe the very earliest effects that Alzheimer's Disease proteins have on the properties of brain cells.
Read moreInflammation increases neuronal activity, gene expression and sensory nerve (neurite) outgrowth in neurons involved in thermal — but not physical- sensations in mice.
Read moreThe powerhouse of the cell, the mitochondria, provides energy for cellular functions. But those activities can become disturbed when chronic stress leads to anxiety symptoms in mice and humans.
Read moreInvestigators have pinpointed a molecular defect that seems almost universal among patients with Parkinson's disease and those at a high risk of acquiring it.
Read moreA new imaging method follows young neurons in a developing embryo as they progress from a messy jumble of cells into a coordinated control center. The approach lets scientists track development and emerging cell function simultaneously across entire circuits.
Read moreA new study has identified 44 genes linked to age-related hearing loss giving a much clearer understanding of how the condition develops and potential treatments.
Read moreNearly 40% of Americans surveyed for a new study said politics is stressing them out, and 4% — the equivalent of 10 million US adults — reported suicidal thoughts related to politics.
Read moreTwo studies provide evidence for the impact of biology by using artificial intelligence to identify patterns of brain activity that make people less responsive to certain antidepressants. Put simply, scientists showed they can use imaging of a patient's brain to decide whether a medication is likely to be effective.
