When serotonin dims the light

Signals in our brain are not always processed in the same way: certain receptors modulate these mechanisms, influencing our mood, perception, and behavior in various ways. One of these is the 5-HT2A receptor, which has a recently discovered unique characteristic: it dampens incoming visual information, giving our brain more space for internal processes and interpretations. This discovery could also help explain the effects of drugs like LSD. When this receptor is overactivated, external sensory input is suppressed... Читать дальше...

NMR Spectroscopy: a faster way to determine the 'sense of rotation' of molecules

Researchers developed a new method that allows, for the first time, to elucidate the chiral structure of molecules -- the exact spatial arrangement of the atoms -- by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. This important step in the development of new drugs used to be a time-consuming process until now. The new method could now become a standard tool for the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.

Penny for your thoughts? Master copper regulator discovery may offer Alzheimer's clues

A study using a tiny roundworm could pave the way for new treatments for neurodegenerative disorders. Researchers linked the worm gene swip-10 to copper regulation -- a vital element for brain health found in everyday items like wiring and cookware. Understanding the roles of swip-10 and MBLAC1, a protein involved in processing cellular materials, could lead to the development of effective medications for neurodegenerative diseases. This research opens new avenues for advancing brain disease treatments.
