Neuroscience

Fixing one overactive gene in the amygdala pulled anxious, withdrawn mice back to normal

Neuroscience

The autism study leaned on 20 mouse models, brain scans from 940 young people, and 1,000 neurotypical controls

Neuroscience

Scientists split autism into two biological types by how the brain wires its connections

By BeckhamLangford

Neuroscience

Scientists erased anxiety in mice by tuning a single gene in one cluster of amygdala neurons, then watched normal social behavior return

By BeckhamLangford

Neuroscience

Scientists found autism may split into at least two biologically distinct subtypes, each marked by a different pattern of brain communication

Neuroscience

Brain scans showed recalling a fact and reliving a memory light up nearly identical networks, a surprise to researchers who expected clear differences

Neuroscience

Mice engineered to overproduce Grik4 became visibly anxious and socially withdrawn; restoring the gene’s expression flipped both deficits back

By BeckhamLangford

Neuroscience

Restoring communication between basolateral and centrolateral amygdala neurons was enough to reverse anxiety in mice, per a new iScience study

Neuroscience

A 20-to-45 Hz oscillation deep in the human thalamus appears only when you’re awake or in REM, the new biological signature of consciousness

Neuroscience

Baylor researchers caught the brain processing complex language while patients were fully under general anesthesia

By BeckhamLangford

Neuroscience

Columbia found that up to a quarter of unresponsive brain-injury patients show sleep brain waves that signal hidden consciousness

Neuroscience

MIT just discovered 30% of the brain’s synapses are sitting silent — dormant wires waiting until the brain calls them in to learn something new

Neuroscience

Indiana University researchers just identified an enzyme called IDOL inside neurons — yanking it out cleared amyloid plaques and shielded brain cells from Alzheimer damage

By BeckhamLangford

Neuroscience

Scripps Research just identified a molecular “switch” — a protein called STING — that keeps Alzheimer brain inflammation burning long after the original trigger fades
