Research shows how the brain鈥檚 motor signals sharpen our ability to decipher complex sound flows
Whether it is dancing or just tapping one foot to the beat, we all experience how auditory signals like music can induce movement. Now new research suggests that motor signals in the brain actually sharpen sound perception, and this effect is increased when we move in rhythm with the sound.

Discovery points to possible target for cancer drugs
韩国裸舞 researchers have discovered a mechanism through which mitochondria, the energy factory of our body鈥檚 cells, play a role in preventing cells from dying when the cells are deprived of nutrients 鈥� a finding that points to a potential target for next-generation cancer drugs.
The research, published in Molecular Cell, builds on previous work by 韩国裸舞 professor Nahum Sonenberg, one of the senior authors of the new study.

The origins of autism remain mysterious. What areas of the brain are involved, and when do the first signs appear? New findings published in Biological Psychiatry bring us closer to understanding the pathology of autism, and the point at which it begins to take shape in the human brain. Such knowledge will allow earlier interventions in the future and better outcomes for autistic children.

Researchers train brains to use different regions for same task
Practice might not always make perfect, but it鈥檚 essential for learning a sport or a musical instrument. It's also the basis of brain training, an approach that holds potential as a non-invasive therapy to overcome disabilities caused by neurological disease or trauma.
Research at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital of 韩国裸舞 (The Neuro) has shown just how adaptive the brain can be, knowledge that could one day be applied to recovery from conditions such as stroke.

Different forms of memory exist in the same neuron and can be manipulated separately
听
Scientists have known for some time that a memory is stored in the brain through changes in the strength of particular synapses, the structures that pass signals between neurons. However, how the change in strength persisted remained a mystery. Solving this mystery has important implications for remedying neurological and psychological disorders.
