RNA Therapy Improves Memory and Reduces Anxiety

RNA Therapy Improves Memory and Reduces Anxiety

Summary: An RNA-based therapy, COG-201, can enhance memory and reduce anxiety in animal models by targeting the serotonin 5-HT2A receptor. Scientists found that decreasing this receptor’s expression led to improved cognitive function and reduced anxiety-like behaviors in mice and rats. Notably, the therapy is…

Reversing brain aging: New drug restores brain’s natural waste removal system

Reversing brain aging: New drug restores brain’s natural waste removal system

Credit: Unsplash+. Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and other neurological diseases can be thought of as “dirty brain” conditions, where the brain struggles to clear out harmful waste. As we age, our brain’s ability to remove toxic buildup slows down, increasing the risk of these diseases. However,…

Newly Discovered Brain Wave Helps Lock in Memories While We Sleep

Newly Discovered Brain Wave Helps Lock in Memories While We Sleep

Sleep works magic on memory. You might’ve felt these frustrations before: Trying to learn a guitar riff, shoot a free-throw, or nail a difficult phrase in a new language, but despite hours of practice, you’re just not getting it right. Then with a good…

New Research Reveals That Your Brain’s Memory “Resets” Every Night

New Research Reveals That Your Brain’s Memory “Resets” Every Night

A new study from Cornell University reveals that sleep not only consolidates memories but also resets the brain’s memory storage mechanism. This process, governed by specific regions in the hippocampus, allows neurons to prepare for new learning without being overwhelmed. This insight opens potential…

Light and Sound Therapy Maintains Myelin in Alzheimer’s

Light and Sound Therapy Maintains Myelin in Alzheimer’s

Summary: A new study finds that 40Hz light and sound therapy helps maintain myelin, a crucial brain structure, in Alzheimer’s patients. This therapy, which protects neurons and supports brain function, could offer new treatment avenues for neurodegenerative diseases. Researchers discovered that this stimulation enhances…

Study reveals ways in which 40Hz sensory stimulation may preserve brain’s ‘white matter’

Early-stage trials in Alzheimer’s disease patients and studies in mouse models of the disease have suggested positive impacts on pathology and symptoms from exposure to light and sound presented at the “gamma” band frequency of 40 Hz. A new study zeroes in on how…

Eating for necessity or pleasure? There is a brain circuit for that

Eating for necessity or pleasure? There is a brain circuit for that

People eat either because they are hungry or for pleasure, even in the absence of hunger. While hunger-driven eating is fundamental for survival, pleasure-driven feeding may accelerate the onset of obesity and associated metabolic disorders. A study published in Nature Metabolism reveals neural circuits…

by Massachusetts Institute of Technology Green staining indicates myelination in these mouse brain cross sections. The brain that received 40Hz light and sound stimulation (right) shows significantly more myelin in four brain regions (insets): the cortex (CTX), the anterior commissure (AC), the corpus callosum…

Scientists capture NMDAR protein's 'twist' motion, key to brain signaling

Proteins are constantly performing a kind of dance. They move and contort their bodies to fulfill specific functions inside our bodies. The NMDAR protein executes an especially hard dance routine in our brains. One wrong step can lead to a range of neurological disorders….

Neuropeptides, Not Neurotransmitters, Drive Brain’s Fear Response

Neuropeptides, Not Neurotransmitters, Drive Brain’s Fear Response

Summary: Researchers have discovered that neuropeptides, not neurotransmitters, are the primary messengers in the brain’s fear circuit. This finding could lead to better painkillers and treatments for fear-related conditions. Using innovative tools, scientists observed neuropeptide release during fear responses in live mice. The study…
