The human brain is often regarded as an unfathomable enigma, and while science knows that our brain function is a result of the transmission of signals between connected billions of neurons, it has now found what influences those transmissions is actually the shape of our brain.

Our Brain Shape May Matters More Than We Think
The human brain is often regarded as an unfathomable enigma, and while science knows that our brain function is a result of the transmission of signals between connected billions of neurons, it has now found what influences those transmissions is actually the shape of our brain.

A drug that blocks oncostatin M activity reduced scratching in a mouse model of chronic itch, suggesting a treatment strategy for persistent itchy skin conditions. Chronic itch is a common yet hard-to-treat symptom of many…
Batten Disease: What Research Is Being Done?
Much of the NINDS research on Batten disease focuses on developing a better understanding of the disease, gene therapy, and the development of drugs to treat the disorder. Scientists are using a modified safe virus to deliver a functioning gene to the brain with hopes the replacement gene will take over or restore the mutated gene’s normal…
