A new study reveals that the twin enzymes MNK1 and MNK2 play distinct roles in the brain, with one governing memory and the other social behavior.

Structurally, they look similar: MNK1 and MNK2 belong to the same enzyme family and are best known for regulating how cells ...

Behavioral assays linked these molecular disturbances to functional outcomes. Exposed fish displayed increased locomotor ...

Polyvagal theory faces renewed scientific criticism. What does the debate mean for clinicians who use it as a lens for trauma ...

When most of us picture the brain, we imagine billions of nerve cells flashing with electrical activity, carrying thoughts, memories and commands from one region to another. Those cells, called ...

Researchers at the Max Delbrück Center show that two related enzymes, MNK1 and MNK2, act on the brain to regulate different behaviors. Their findings, published in "Molecular Psychiatry," could help ...

Disorders of the central nervous system (CNS), including neurodegenerative, ischemic, neuroinflammatory, and traumatic conditions, remain leading causes of ...

It’s not just in your legs. Scientists have discovered a "fitness switch" in the brain that must be flipped after a workout for your body to actually build endurance.

Jellyfish, lacking a central brain, exhibit remarkable coordination through decentralized nerve nets and specialized sensory ...
