They also zoomed in on a key enzyme called ACLY. Think of it as a middleman that helps convert glucose into a form cells can use to grow and divide. By disrupting this enzyme, researchers could see ...

New findings reveal that certain areas of the brain influence how neurons transmit signals and control their range.

The amount of sugar in the brain plays a key role in governing the activity of the brain cells that make myelin, a study ...

Salt may affect more than blood pressure. A neuroscientist explains how it helps the brain send signals and control thirst.

Researchers at the Champalimaud Foundation in Lisbon have for the first time managed to identify with an imaging technique ...

Deep within the brain, scientists have uncovered a hidden “switch” that may decide whether pain fades away—or lingers for ...

Scientists keep learning more about the connection between the brain and the gastrointestinal system. By Christina Caron Dr.

Scientists at the Champalimaud Foundation have developed an ultrafast MRI method, uFLARE, that can distinguish between feedforward and feedback brain signals in rats. The technique combines high‑field ...

Ordinary human cells, not just neurons, respond more strongly to memory signals when they arrive in spaced bursts rather than ...

Researchers have developed an ultrafast MRI technique, uFLARE, that can distinguish between feedforward and feedback brain signals, offering a new way to study neurological conditions. The method ...

"One could certainly imagine how enforced use of such devices could create a very dystopian basis for behavioral control." ...

You’re lying on an operating table. A doctor injects a milky white liquid into your veins. Within a minute, your breathing slows, your face relaxes, and you remain limp when asked to squeeze a hand.
