Washington [US], August 31 (ANI): Star-shaped cells called astrocytes may bear the brunt of the responsibility for exacerbating the symptoms of some neurodevelopmental disorders. Scientists have now identified a molecule produced by astrocytes that interferes with normal neuron development in Rett, fragile X and Down syndromes. Blocking the molecule reduces the signs of disease in mice brains.
Washington [US], August 23 (ANI): Brain cells with the same 'birthdate' are more likely to wire together into cooperative signalling circuits that carry out many functions, including the storage of memories, a new study finds.
Washington [US], June 24 (ANI): Cerebrospinal fluid, also known as 'brain water', can exit the brain and enter the bone marrow of the skull through these channels, according to research led by a group at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH).
New research reveals that COVID-19 can damage the endothelial cells of the brain. The infection can also lead to the impairment of cognitive functions. Here’s more on the covid-19 side effects. COVID-19 Side effects: Brain damage and more? A new international collaborative study revealed one of the most dangerous COVID-19 side effects. Researchers from France, […]
