Study shows not all adrenal carcinoma patients need mitotane after surgery

After the complete tumor resection, not all patients with an adrenocortical carcinoma require the previous standard therapy Mitotane. Professors Martin Fassnacht and Massimo Terzolo show this in a clinical trial.

Neglected brain region could play a critical role in drug relapse

Researchers from Indiana University School of Medicine have discovered a neglected brain region that could play a critical role in how likely a person with drug use disorders is to relapse, even after a long withdrawal period.

Specific alterations in brain structural connectivity may be an early diagnostic marker for ASD

ASD, a complex neurodevelopmental disorder, is known to be linked to altered brain development. However, precise markers that can accurately diagnose ASD at the individual level have been elusive.

UC Davis researchers to look at voluntary mechanisms in the brain

Picture this scenario: You and a friend are walking around your neighborhood when you stop at a crosswalk. As you wait, the noises of the world and your internal thoughts all vie for your attention. Suddenly, you see a motorist nearly hit a bicyclist.

Absence of two brain proteins may lead to compulsive repetitive behavior

Our behavior is controlled through neural circuits in the brain. Molecular disturbances can lead to stereotypical behavior, as seen in neuropsychiatric disorders like obsessive-compulsive and autism spectrum disorders.

Study finds altered brain connectivity in people with obesity

For the first time, researchers have discovered that the ventral tegmental area (VTA) of the brain-;a key structure involved in motivation and reward appreciation has altered connectivity patterns with specific brain regions in patients with obesity.

Melatonin enhances long-term memory by modulating protein phosphorylation

Multiple studies have demonstrated the memory-enhancing effects of melatonin and its derivatives in animal models. It is also known that the formation of both short- and long-term memories require the phosphorylation of certain memory-related proteins.
