| Zika virus-specific therapy protects the fetal mouse brain Posted: 10 Nov 2021 10:16 AM PST A gene-silencing therapy protected against Zika virus transmission from pregnant mice to the mouse fetuses, finds a new study. The treatment, which harnesses nanoparticles called small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) for drug delivery, crossed the placenta and blood-brain barrier to greatly reduce fetal neurological damage, including virus-induced brain shrinkage. |
| How do we learn to learn? New research offers an education Posted: 10 Nov 2021 10:16 AM PST Cognitive training designed to focus on what's important while ignoring distractions can enhance the brain's information processing, enabling the ability to 'learn to learn,' finds a new study on mice. |
| Striking difference between neurons of humans and other mammals Posted: 10 Nov 2021 10:16 AM PST Human neurons have a lower density of ion channels than expected, compared to neurons of other mammals, according to a new study. The researchers hypothesize that a lower channel density may have helped the human brain evolve to operate more efficiently. |
| Baby teeth may one day help identify kids at risk for mental disorders later in life Posted: 10 Nov 2021 07:46 AM PST The thickness of growth marks in primary (or 'baby') teeth may help identify children at risk for depression and other mental health disorders later in life, according to a ground-breaking investigation. |
| Seizure forecasting with wrist-worn devices possible for people with epilepsy Posted: 09 Nov 2021 04:33 PM PST A new study found patterns could be identified in patients who wear a special wristwatch monitoring device for six to 12 months, allowing about 30 minutes of warning before a seizure occurred. This worked well most of the time for five of six patients studied. |
