A newly discovered link between pancreatic cancer and neural signaling reveals a promising drug target that slows tumor ...

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 ...

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 ...

The banging on the door at 3 in the morning of March 12, 1938, by Gestapo agents was fierce. They were rousing Otto Loewi out of bed to drag him off to jail. His crime? Loewi was Jewish. It didn’t ...

Behavioral assays linked these molecular disturbances to functional outcomes. Exposed fish displayed increased locomotor activity, heightened anxiety-like behavior, and altered learning performance, ...

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 ...

The Wiley Foundation honored research into connectomes — detailed atlases of the brain that map out thousands of neurons and the millions of connection between them.

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

Immune cells in the brain that go rogue contribute to the death of neurons, so getting rid of them may slow the progression of neurodegenerative conditions like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ...
