In an unprecedented new study, researchers have shown neurotransmitters in the human brain are released during the processing of the emotional content of language, providing new insights into how ...

We all know that particular sleepy sensation that we feel when we are tired or after a long day. Were you aware that this is the beginning of a whole complex cycle in our brains? Once we close our ...

A new study from a team of McGill University and Vanderbilt University researchers is shedding light on our understanding of the molecular origins of some forms of autism and intellectual disability.

Scientists have determined structures of a transporter protein involved in the movement of neurochemicals such as serotonin and dopamine, unearthing multiple mechanisms that can guide drug development ...

Researchers have made great progress in neurotransmitter sensing by using genetically engineered fluorescent probes 1. Bioelectronic neural interfaces have also been used to study wild-type animals ...

The effects of sustained drug abuse can manifest in many ways. Loss of memory and reduced cognitive functions are some of the effects that can persist for years. Scientists have now identified a ...
