Researchers have revealed that so-called “junk DNA” contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to ...

The human mind is turning out to be far stranger and more intricate than the tidy diagrams in old biology textbooks ever suggested. A wave of new research is revealing hidden layers in the brain’s ...

Researchers have identified elusive DNA switches in brain support cells that influence genes tied to Alzheimer’s disease. When people think about DNA, they often picture genes that determine our ...

But only a tiny percentage of our DNA – around 2% – contains our 20,000-odd genes. The remaining 98% – long known as the non-coding genome, or so-called ‘junk’ DNA – includes many of the switches that ...

From influencing weight gain to supporting immune function, gut microbes do far more than digest food. They may even explain ...

When most of us think of DNA, we have a vague idea it's made up of genes that give us our physical features, our behavioral ...

The research achievement was distributed as a press release through the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF). The NRF ...

This potentially valuable cross-sectional longitudinal study leverages high-definition transcranial direct current stimulation to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex to examine its effect on ...

1. Joints - The Foundation of Movement Joints are the moving links in a robotic arm. They let the arm bend, rotate, or change ...

The race to understand the brain has just crossed a new threshold, with a supercomputer-driven model that behaves less like a schematic and more like living tissue. Instead of treating neurons as ...
