ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder. The brains of individuals with ADHD develop differently, leading to changes in brain function. A major area of scientific research on ADHD focuses on the role of the brain chemicaldopamine. Dopamine is involved in motor control,emotional regulation, rew...
while the rest have recovered. "This sample really gave us a unique opportunity to ask questions about whether or not the brain basis of ADHD is similar in the remitted-ADHD and persistent-ADHD cohorts," says Aaron Mattfeld, a postdoc at MIT's McGovern Institute...
Humanity took a step forward into that future recently, when Israeli scientists revealed that they've developed a new type of brain-machine interface, which for the first time has allowed a human operator to control a nanobot implanted inside the body of a living creature (in this case acock...
An exam- ple of endogenous intracellular ligand-channel interaction is presented by the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR). Experimental evidence suggests that nicotine interactions with the receptor inside the cell promote trafficking to the cell surface[2–4] and reduce ER stress, as judged by...
such as when a child is born completely normal and then experiences developmental regression due to a progressive brain disease. If you catch that early enough and prevent that gene from causing harm, you may have a normal outcome. This is where you have the opportunities for the...
It never occurred to me, as I grew into an adult, that my brain chemistry might be making those changes more difficult to achieve than they might have been. It never dawned on me that the frankly obscene caffeine tolerance I’d developed was the result of self-medication, with every form...
Supporting the role of an immune response in the long-term effects of CO inhalation, a raised neutrophil level has been found to be predictive of DNS (delayed neurological sequelae: the appearance of neurological symptoms approximately 2 to 40 days following the initial brain injury) after acute ...
