Genes sow seeds of neuropsychiatric diseases before birth, in early childhood
Click here to view original web page at www.eurekalert.org From early prenatal development through childhood, the prefrontal cortex of the human brain undergoes an avalanche of developmental activity. In some cases, it also contains seeds of neuropsychiatric illnesses such as autism spectrum disorder and schizophrenia, according to a new genetic analysis led by researchers at … Continue reading “Genes sow seeds of neuropsychiatric diseases before birth, in early childhood”

How serotonin balances communication within the brain
Click here to view original web page at www.sciencedaily.com Our brain is steadily engaged in soliloquies. These internal communications are usually also bombarded with external sensory events. Hence, the impact of the two neuronal processes need to be permanently fine-tuned to avoid their imbalance. A team of scientists at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum (RUB) revealed the … Continue reading “How serotonin balances communication within the brain”

Common Protein in Skin Can ‘Turn On’ Allergic Itch
Click here to view original web page at news.ncsu.edu Artist: Alice MacGregor Harvey A commonly expressed protein in skin – periostin – can directly activate itch-associated neurons in the skin, according to new research from North Carolina State University. The researchers found that blocking periostin receptors on these neurons reduced the itch response in a … Continue reading “Common Protein in Skin Can ‘Turn On’ Allergic Itch”
