Singapore has one of the highest life expectancies in the world, yet many individuals spend almost a decade in poor health ...

A study has found that the COVID-19 virus directly affects brain function, impairing concentration and memory. South Korean researchers have also revealed the possibility of treating these cognitive ...

The links between neurons are crucial to the brain, and brain cells can reorganize the way they are linked together in a phenomenon known as neuroplasticity. This process is ongoing during a lifetime, ...

Drugs that act on NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptors, which are essential for learning, memory and moment-by-moment consciousness, are key for treating neuropsychiatric disorders. These drugs were ...

Not revised: This Reviewed Preprint includes the authors’ original preprint (without revision), an eLife assessment, and public reviews. The previous evidence for NMDARs containing N1, N2, and N3 ...

A new review reveals how everyday foods and hidden exposures to formaldehyde may fuel insulin resistance and chip away at memory, but also points to dietary patterns and emerging therapies that could ...

The brain’s cerebellum plays a key role in coordinating movement, balance, and cognition. Injury to the cerebellum can have a profound impact on basic motor skills, such as sitting, standing, and ...

Summary: A research team has uncovered a molecular “switch” that precisely regulates NMDA receptors, key players in brain communication, by blocking excitatory synapse overactivity. The proteins MDGA2 ...

Researchers confirm and explore the role of estrogen-related receptors in regulating energy production in muscle cells during exercise. The findings indicate that developing a drug to boost ...

N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) are ligand-gated ion channels present at most excitatory synapses in the brain that play essential roles in cognitive functions including learning and memory ...
