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 ...

Food May Activate Single Brain Cell That May Regulate Blood Sugar Level
The researchers claim to have found a single neuron in the brain, which gets activated when sugar/food is consumed and is able to monitor and control sugar levels in the body. The team carried out the study on Drosophila, the vinegar fly.

Self-Navigating AI Learns to Take Shortcuts: Study
Navigation is considered a complex behavioural task, and in animals is partly controlled by a sort of onboard GPS driven by "grid cells" in the brain's hippocampus region.
