A gene's first 'kiss' sets off that affair known as puberty
... mystery. An appreciation of puberty's deep-seated neurobiological mechanisms could, for instance, help prevent precocious or delayed puberty from occurring in some children," noted the study's lead author, Tony Plant, Ph.D., a professor in the departments of cell biology and physiology and obstetrics, gynecology an...Alcohol's effects on gene expression in the central nervous system
...rmatic approaches to better understand the complex neurobiological mechanisms underlying alcohol addiction. "Future research will need to determine changes in gene expression in very discrete neuronal pathways that may be involved in mediating the effects of alcohol that lead to addiction," he said.

...ats. The marmoset is a key model organism used in neurobiological studies of multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease. The marmoset is also an important model for research into infectious disease and pharmacology. The marmoset was chosen also because of its unique position on the evolutiona......n tomography, or PET, to gain insight into CX717's neurobiological role. The PET signal reflected the distribution and rate of metabolism of ingested radioactively labeled glucose in the monkeys' brain cells. By measuring regional brain glucose metabolism, the researchers determined that for sleep-deprived monkeys, ...ADHD improvement with sensory intervention

The sensory interventions use the three sensory inputs of tactile sensations, sensations of gravity and movements, and sensation of being aware o...Gluten-Free Diet May Alleviate Psychiatric Symptoms In Adolescents
