... Is Not "Insulin-Insensitive" After All
Although insulin receptors are observed in certain parts of the mammalian brain, most scientists, until a few years ago, had assumed the organ was "insulin- ...
... begin to trickle out of that area's neural circuitry. The most common of these neurotransmitters in the mammalian brain, glutamate, is widely released at synapses and binds to astrocytes as well as ...
Proteins widely believed to protect against aging can actually cause oxidative damage in mammalian brain cells, according to a new report in the July Cell Metabolism, a publication of Cell Press. The ...
... however, there has been scant direct evidence of this activation during learning in the mammalian brain.
Using the new imaging technique, the researchers were able to visualize convergent activation ...

The dialectic between descent with modification and the expanded cortex of the mammalian brain appears to have led to a kind of “house of mirrors” in humans. The smarter we get, it seems, the more we ...

"Natural selection has passively guided the evolution of mammalian brains throughout time, just as politicians and entrepreneurs have indirectly shaped ...
Two decades ago, the discovery of neuropeptide Y ( NPY ), a
peptide in the mammalian brain involved in food-seeking behavior,
sparked a search for a weight-loss remedy that could interfere with
its ...
