Pain signals travel through the nervous system with the help of proteins known as calcium channels, which play a crucial role in the process. Researchers at Linköping University in Sweden have identified the precise location of a specific calcium channel that modulates the intensity of these signals. This discovery could pave the way for the...
In the late 1960s, researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science, including Professors Michael Sela and Ruth Arnon and Dr. Dvora Teitelbaum, developed synthetic molecules called copolymers. Initially intended to mimic multiple sclerosis (MS) in animal models, these compounds unexpectedly led to a breakthrough drug, Copaxone, used worldwide to treat...
A recent study published in Neuropsychologia has identified specific patterns of brain connectivity that can predict an individual’s tendency toward online shopping addiction. Using advanced brain imaging and predictive modeling techniques, researchers found that certain connections between key brain networks, such as the frontal-parietal network and default mode network, played...
A new study published in the Journal of Vision has unveiled how our brains detect faces even when presented with limited and ambiguous visual information. Using a specialized technique to suppress conscious awareness, the researchers found that stimuli resembling faces are processed more quickly, even when visual details are minimal....
