The calcium-sensing receptor is critical for maintaining healthy calcium levels, but CaSR is also well-known for its side hustles. The receptor is increasingly recognized for its ability to detect ...

Researchers report that they have added to evidence that a shell-shaped region in the center of the mammalian brain, known as the thalamic reticular nucleus or TRN, is likely responsible for the ...

A front portion of the brain that handles tasks like decision-making also helps decipher different phonetic sounds, according to new Brown University research. This section of the brain — the left ...

As much as we humans like to think we can do two things at once, our brains can only process one thing at a time—like the iPhone—but we can get better at switching between the two tasks, according to ...

A single mutation in a person’s genome can be the difference between health and disease, and with base editing, researchers can recreate these mutations in a laboratory to study how genetic changes ...

A new synthetic strategy that relies on a multitasking copper catalyst allows chemists to construct useful molecules faster and with higher yield. Experts say it promises to fast-track complicated ...
