The work has produced neurons transplanted into animals with Parkinson’s have been integrated and produced dopamine, whose deficiency is the basis of these neurodegenerative diseases. A study published online by the journal Nature breaks new ground in research on neurodegenerative
From a large-molecular genetic study on the cerebellum was seen that the second most common type of malignant brain tumor in children is the ependymoma. An international team of researchers has discovered that the second most common type of malignant
A study on the ‘olive scab’ showed that the disease state of a plant is maintained both by the pathogenic bacteria from innocuous. A team of researchers led by Vittorio Venturi of the International Centre for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology
The ability to remember the origin of memories is a long process that develops during adolescence, but only when we become mature adults. Researchers in Germany have discovered that children develop the ability to remember past events and the origin
Our memories are divided into ‘packages’ lasting 125 milliseconds each, and a reminder when we pass from the brain to another rapidly closes and opens a package. According to Norwegian scientists led by May-Britt Moser and Edvard Moser of the
