Scientific model shows how mind stays stable in the midst of fluctuating unsettling influences Kumar Jeetendra | August 10, 2020 Whether you’re playing in a park amid chirping birds, a gentle breeze and kids playing grab nearby or you are playing at a room with a ticking clock on a bookcase and a purring cat on the couch, if the match situation is identical and clear, your next move probably is, too, no matter those …
Oxytocinergic and vasopressinergic substances in the mind are associated with managing social conduct Kumar Jeetendra | September 4, 2020 In humans, mutations of this gene cause Rett syndrome, a rare disorder of the neural development that causes, among other ailments, a reduction of language and of their capacity to roam, traits of autistic diseases and epilepsy. Nonapeptides, peptide chains with nine amino acids like oxytocin and vasopressin, are found in the cerebral nuclei that …
Vitamin D insufficiency could clarify why autism spectrum disorder is more normal in boys Kumar Jeetendra | December 13, 2020 A deficiency in Vitamin D on the mother’s side could explain why Autism spectrum disorder is three times more common in boys, say researchers from The University of Queensland. In their latest study, Professor Darryl Eyles and Dr Asad Ali from UQ’s Queensland Brain Institute found vitamin D deficiency during pregnancy caused an increase in …
Researchers locate mechanism underlying plasticity in grownup brains Kumar Jeetendra | December 27, 2020 Developing brains continuously sprout new neuronal connections called synapses as they understand and remember. Important connections — the ones that are repeatedly introduced, such as how to avoid danger — are nurtured and reinforced, while links deemed unnecessary are pruned away. Adult brains experience similar pruning, but it was unclear why or how synapses in …
New investigation shows interface between intestinal microbiota and maternal behavior Kumar Jeetendra | January 30, 2021 As scientists learn more about the microorganisms that colonize the human anatomy –collectively referred to as the microbiota–one area of extreme interest is the effect that these microbes can have on the mind. A new study headed by Salk Institute scientists has identified a strain of E. coli bacteria that, when living in the guts …
Researchers concentrate how a single gene alteration may have isolated modern humans from extinct hominins Kumar Jeetendra | February 16, 2021 As a professor of pediatrics and molecular and cellular medicine at University of California San Diego School of Medicine, Alysson R. Muotri, PhD, has long studied how the brain develops and what goes wrong in neurological disorders. For nearly as long, he has also been curious about the evolution of the human brain -; what …
Scientists portray regions of DNA that sway MECP2 expression Kumar Jeetendra | March 19, 2021 Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and the Jan and Dan Duncan Neurological Research Institute at Texas Children’s Hospital (NRI) have identified and characterized two regions of DNA required for the proper expression of Mecp2/MECP2 in mice and humans. These findings, published in Genes & Development, are helping to shed light on the purpose of …
Study recognizes specific immune cells that shape inhibitory neurons to control mind wiring Kumar Jeetendra | July 7, 2021 Every second our brains are exposed to a variety of signals, from the barking of a puppy to raindrops hitting the windows, and everything in between. Most of the time we ignore insignificant cues like the buzzing of a fly or the gentle rustle of leaves in a tree. We pay attention to the more …
