The reactivation of patterns of neuronal activity based on experience is crucial for learning and memory, but these patterns and the associated brain waves vary widely and are difficult to classify. Such events, dubbed ripples, are characteristic of the hippocampus, a brain region responsible for memory. Until now, the most common way to study ripples was using frequency analysis, but […]

Reviewed Data on the viral rebound and safety of nirmatrelvir/ritonavir in lung transplant (LTx) recipients are limited. The study prospectively followed four LTx recipients. Clinical characteristics, viral RNA dynamic in throat swabs, and tacrolimus blood concentration were monitored regularly. All four LTx recipients, aged 35–74 years, were not vaccinated against severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). They got coronavirus […]

Nine in ten people agree that sensory triggers such as the smell of perfume or a song can evoke feelings of grief, research found.

The charity’s survey of 1,000 bereaved people found one in five experienced triggers every […]

Reviewed Neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's can be associated to depression and anxiety. Dr. Sabine Krabbe, a neuroscientist at DZNE's Bonn site, is receiving 1.2 million US dollars from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative to understand the mechanisms involved in the onset of these syndromes. To this end, she aims to examine the function of the brain's "emotion center" using […]
