Nutritionist Says Food Sends Signals To Your Body Within Minutes, Here's How
As per nutritionist Pooja Makhija, within minutes of consuming food, your hormones shift, your brain chemistry changes, and your inflammatory genes turn on and off.

Study Reveals Independent Role Of Alzheimers Gene In Triggering Delirium
Having the gene variant "APOE e4" is said to increase one's risk of developing the ageing-related Alzheimer's disease. However, the gene has a distinct, direct role to play in causing delirium

Hypertension Impairs Thinking And Memory Even In Earliest Stages: New Study
Findings published in the journal Neuron suggest that hypertension may induce early changes in how genes in a brain cell express themselves and could interfere with one's thinking and memory.

COVID-19 May Change Offspring's Brain Development, Study In Mice Finds
Changes in sperm caused by COVID-19 in a mouse could affect the offspring's brain development and cause anxious behaviours, a study has found.

Age At Autism Diagnosis Could Indicate Tendency For Mental Health Disorders, Says Study
Researcher have identified distinct patterns in the genes and development of those diagnosed in early childhood and those diagnosed later, typically from late childhood onwards.

Study Finds New Genetic Disorder Impacts Brain Development In Children
A team led by the University of Otago-Otakou Whakaihu Waka from New Zealand pinpointed specific changes in a gene called CRNKL1 that can potentially cause a severe genetic disorder with microcephaly and severe intellectual disability.

Excessive Sitting May Shrink Your Brain, Even If You Exercise Regularly: Study
New research reveals that prolonged sitting, even with regular exercise, can shrink the brain and impair memory, especially for those carrying the APOE-4 gene.

How Childhood Trauma Impacts Our Brains, Bodies - And Even Our Genes
In 1966, Romanian dictator Nicolae Ceauescu introduced extreme policies to increase the country's birth rate. This led to the widespread abandonment of children, who ended up in orphanages where they received no care, attention or love.

Kidney And Nerve Cells Can Form Memories, Not Just The Brain: Study
A groundbreaking study by New York University (NYU) reveals that memory formation isnt limited to brain cells but may occur in various body cells, altering our understanding of memory.
-
Memories Are Not Limited to Brain, New Study Claims
A study from NYU reveals that kidney and nerve cells can perform memory-like functions, suggesting memory capabilities are not restricted to the brain. By replicating a spaced learning process, scientists observed memory gene activation in these non-neural cells, expanding possibilities for enhancing learning and treating memory-related health issu...

Innovative mRNA Delivery Technique Could Correct Genetic Disorders Before Birth
A recent study from UC Davis and UC Berkeley has unveiled a groundbreaking mRNA delivery method capable of editing genes in fetal brain cells. By administering mRNA encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles, researchers successfully targeted genetic disorders such as Angelman syndrome before birth. This approach, which minimizes risks of inflammation, of...

How Ukraine's Military Gadgetry Is Helping Fend Off Russia's Invasion
The science conference had all the hot topics you'd expect, from artificial intelligence to gene therapy. But this year's annual gathering of brains in Kyiv had a decidedly Ukrainian twist.

Changing Sleep Patterns Affect Teenager's Brain Development, Says Study
Few years ago, a study had said that our genes determine if we like to sleep early or late.

Scientists Create World's First "Synthetic" Embryo With Brain, Beating Heart: Report
Scientists from the University of Cambridge have created world's first "synthetic" embryo that has a brain, a beating heart, and the building blocks for every other organ in the body.

New Study Might Lead to New Therapeutic Approach for Treating Alzheimer’s Disease
Researchers have used a new CRISPR technology that enables them to control these microglia cells. This, according to the team, can lead to a new approach to the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. The team geared up to detect the genes that were responsible for specific states of the microglial activity. With this, they could switch the genes on and ...
