A genetic disorder leads to an increase in bioactive lipids in the brain, which contributes to an imbalance between excitation and inhibition in the neuronal circuits and favors mental disorders. However, treatment with an enzyme inhibitor that prevents the activation of these lipids can restore the balance and alleviate symptoms. This is the result of […]
Scientists have discovered genetic clues to the cause of restless legs syndrome, a condition that often occurs in older adults. The discovery could help identify those at greatest risk of developing the condition and suggest possible ways to treat it. Restless legs Syndrome is Widespread Restless legs syndrome can cause an uncomfortable tingling sensation in […]
A University of Saskatchewan (USask) research team’s discovery of the additional health benefits of an appetite-suppressing protein has doubled the potential for scientists to find new ways to treat obesity and metabolic disorders in animals and humans. The researchers’ findings, recently published in the journal Nature Communications Biology, highlight their discovery of the lipid-lowering effects […]
An increase in nightmares and hallucinations – or daydreaming – could herald the onset of autoimmune diseases such as lupus, according to an international team led by researchers from the University of Cambridge and King’s College London. The researchers argue that there needs to be better recognition that these types of mental and neurological symptoms […]
Good quality sleep is essential for good health. More and more research is looking at how sleep duration affects wellbeing and the development of disease. Research led by UCL researchers concludes that less than five hours of sleep in mid to late life may be associated with an increased risk of developing at least two […]
