Targeting Protein Reduces Macular Degeneration Symptoms
网页3 天之前 · Summary: New research identifies a protein, TIMP3, overproduced in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) that may drive the disease’s progression. By targeting the enzyme linked to inflammation and drusen formation, scientists reduced early signs of AMD in stem cell models, offering hope for new treatments.
Decoding Brain Signals: Study Shines Light on Neural Pathways
网页2023年11月3日 · Now, however, a team of neuroscientists and physicists at Princeton University are helping to shine a clarifying light on how information flows in the brain by studying, of all things, the brain of a very small but ubiquitous worm known as Caenorhabditis elegans. The details of the experiment are chronicled in …
A Year in Neuroscience: Top 20 Neuroscience News Articles of 2022

Fat Alone Doesn’t Disrupt Brain’s Appetite Neurons
网页20 小时之前 · Future research will explore how different macronutrients affect brain neurons and appetite regulation. Key facts: A high-fat diet alone did not affect AgRP neurons in the hypothalamus. Other nutrients, such as sugar, may have a more profound impact on brain function. Both male and female mice showed no decrease in neuron connectivity after 48 ...

Neuralink’s Brain Chip Implant Marks New Era in Human …
网页2024年2月4日 · The first human trial of Neuralink’s brain-computer interface implant has begun, following FDA approval in 2023. The implant, named Telepathy, is designed to help those with severe physical disabilities control digital devices through thought. The project’s future ranges from potential medical applications to broader cognitive enhancements ...
Targeting Glucose May Spark Neurogenesis - Neuroscience News
网页3 天之前 · The findings could help treat neurodegenerative diseases and aid in brain recovery after injury. Key Facts: Neural stem cells become less active with age, partly due to glucose buildup. Knocking out the GLUT4 gene increased new neuron production in older mice. The study suggests possible treatments through glucose control or dietary changes.
How Neurons That Wire Together Fire Together - Neuroscience …
网页2021年12月23日 · In 1949, psychologist Donald Hebb laid out his compelling “assembly theory” of how the brain achieves this feat. It is best summarized by the mantra “neurons that fire together wire together.”. The idea is that neurons responding to the same stimulus connect preferentially to form “neuronal ensembles.”. These associations are ...
