Checkered History of Mother and Daughter Cells Explains Cell Cycle Differences

Oct 20 2009 | News

When mother and daughter cells are created each time a cell divides, they are not exactly alike. They have the same set of genes, but differ in the way they regulate them. New research now reveals that these regulatory differences between mother and daughter cells are directly linked to how they prepare for their next split.

Understanding the Brain’s Natural Foil for Over-Excited Neurons

Oct 20 2009 | News

Glutamate is the major excitatory neurotransmitter in a mammal’s central nervous system. It is an important component for neuroplasticity, the synaptic communication between neurons. It’s also key to learning and memory. But in high concentrations, glutamate becomes toxic - over-exciting the neurons.

Looking for the Origins of Music in the Brain

Oct 20 2009 | News

Music serves as a natural and non-invasive intervention for patients with severe neurological disorders to promote long-term memory, social interaction and communication. However, there is currently no plausible explanation of its neural basis for why and how music affects physical and psychosocial responses.
