Imagine your brain as a bustling city, with different areas communicating with each other through frequencies. Well, scientists have discovered that these frequencies can reveal how our brain decodes social rewards! Just like deciphering secret codes, the brain uses distinct coordination frequencies to distinguish between vicarious reward (observing someone else being rewarded) and experienced reward […]
Imagine the striatum (a brain region) as a bustling city. The mayor of this city is called Rhes, who has an important job in maintaining order and balance. But in Huntington’s disease (HD), trouble arises when mutant huntingtin (a harmful protein) starts piling up in the city. Our study shows that when we knock down […]
Neurological disorders have a puzzling connection to the aging process within our brain’s synapses. Like a delicate ballet, molecular and cellular mechanisms are at play, determining the fate of these vital connections. Scientists are uncovering emerging pathways that shed light on how synaptopathies develop as we age. Proteins, gene expression, and intricate signaling networks all […]
