An international collaborative research team has discovered that G-quadraplex DNA (G4-DNA) accumulates in neurons and dynamically controls the activation and repression of genes underlying long-term ...

The evolutionary drive to maintain neurons that we see in jellyfish and sea anemones is perhaps one of the reasons why sleep is essential for humans today, Appelbaum said.

Neuroscientists have uncovered a new mechanism for memory formation, and it involves changes in the structure of your DNA. If you were asked to picture a molecule of DNA, chances are you would ...

An international collaborative research team, including scientists from UQ's Queensland Brain Institute (QBI), has discovered a novel mechanism underlying memory involving rapid changes in a specific ...

The ability to extract trace bits of DNA from soil, water, and even air is revolutionizing science. Are there pitfalls? By Peter Andrey Smith/Undark Published Feb 14, 2024 8:06 AM EST This article was ...

In a recent study published in the journal Nature, researchers found that the recruitment of neurons to memory circuits is preceded by a cascade of molecular events induced during learning, which ...

Environments are littered with the DNA of the creatures that inhabit them. Analyzing it could provide a real-time view of how our planet is changing. When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

Outside her cabin in northern Belize, Elizabeth Clare, a biodiversity scientist at York University, walks along a path. Everywhere she looks, it's teeming with life. "There's hibiscus flowers over ...
