Surprising findings published in PNAS have implications for understanding and treating neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders.

Drugs that act on NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) receptors, which are essential for learning, memory and moment-by-moment consciousness, are key for treating neuropsychiatric disorders. These drugs were ...

A new study reveals that aggression and self-harm share a biological foundation in the brain’s response to early-life trauma.

Encaleret is an oral, small molecule designed to selectively modulate the calcium-sensing receptor protein to restore PTH secretion and calcium reabsorption.

New research reveals how tiny electrical gates in the brain, known as NMDA receptors, control learning, memory, and neuron ...

In the brain, greater ion flow increases neural signaling. Additionally, while a wide-open channel lets both sodium and calcium into a neuron, a partially open channel is more selective. Sodium gets ...

Scientists at the Fralin Biomedical Research Institute at VTC found that early-life trauma changes a brain circuit linked to ...

New research shows calcium supplements don’t raise dementia risk in older women, offering reassurance about their long-term ...

Aggression and self-harm often co-occur in individuals with a history of early-life trauma—a connection that has largely been ...
