Today's Nobel Prize in Medicine or Physiology is built on curiosity-driven research. Victor Ambros wanted to know what sets the developmental clock that determines that particular life-cycle events happen at the right developmental time 1/2

Medicine is biology Physics is computer science that mimics biology Chemistry is using that computer science that mimics biology to model biology Literature, peace, and economics are all biological constructions so looks like a clean sweep for bio this year

Biju Viswanath addresses some common misconceptions about mental illness & tells us how research at the Centre for Brain and Mind focuses on understanding the molecular basis of these disorders while fighting stigma through awareness & outreach. indiaalliance.org/news/wmhd-biju

Shubha Tole (she/her), neuroscientist Tata Institute of Fundamental Research is set to head the International Brain Research Organisation IBRO - International Brain Research Organization, making her the first president to be elected from a developing country

Guess what? Mitochondria are weirder than we thought

Biggest medical discoveries of the week (🧵) 1/8 In a world first, induced pluripotent stem cells restored vision in 3 patients with limbal stem-cell deficiency (LSCD) LSCD is loss of the stem cells that replenish the cornea, and can be caused by trauma, autoimmunity or

Fat cells have a ‘memory’ of obesity. 🧵1/11

Breath and Emotion Connected by Newly Identified Brain Circuit Researchers have discovered a brain circuit connecting the anterior cingulate cortex, pons, and medulla that links voluntary breathing control to emotional states. This circuit slows breathing during calm moments

Gene Repair Restores Brain Signal Efficiency in Autism A recent study has uncovered two previously unknown mechanisms underlying SHANK3 gene mutations associated with autism, involving damage to brain-supporting cells called oligodendrocytes and the myelin they produce.

On World Movement Disorders Day, let's unite to fight stigma and raise awareness about neurological conditions affecting motor control. Early diagnosis and understanding can transform lives. #FightingStigma #MovementDisordersday #movedisorder #nimhans

holy shit a team at EPFL in switzerland just published a paper where they restored walking in people with spinal cord injuries using deep brain stimulation (DBS). this isn’t just nerves reconnecting. they targeted a new brain region for movement the results are insane 1/

Thrilled to share that our latest research is published in Cell Communication and Signalling🎉This milestone was led by @AishwaryaRaj_PhD, marking the publication of all chapters of her PhD thesis! Grateful to @DBT_India & NIMHANS, Bengaluru for funding+support. biosignaling.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

This study uncovers how astrocytes, initially protectors in clearing extracellular α-synuclein, eventually become contributors to neurodegeneration after prolonged exposure.

A new Science study finds that different dendritic segments of a single neuron follow distinct rules. The results challenge the idea that neurons follow a single learning strategy and offer a new perspective on how the brain learns and adapts behavior 📄:

Did you know one of the world's boldest scientific journeys began right here in Bengaluru? At the highest point of the city, a tiny marker kicked off a 100+ year mission that mapped a subcontinent—and measured the height of the tallest peak in the world!⛰️✨

Stem cell therapy for Parkinson’s disease has entered a new era. Two nature studies demonstrate that pluripotent stem cell–derived dopamine neurons can survive, restore function, and potentially change the treatment paradigm for this neurodegenerative disease.
