Aug 9th 2024, 13:57

Whether Bach, Beethovan, or Mozart, it's widely recognized that classical music can affect a person's mood. Scientists use brainwave measurements and neural imaging techniques to show how Western classical music elicits its positive effects on the brain. Their goal is to find more effective ways to use music to activate the brain in those who otherwise don't respond, such as people with treatment-resistant depression.

Cocaine binds to a specific transporter in the brain that is responsible for regulating dopamine levels. Researchers have studied and described the process, producing new knowledge that may bring us a step closer to designing a drug for cocaine abuse.

Aug 6th 2024, 16:37

Researchers have discovered a new way to combat Alzheimer's disease. They found that treatment with dopamine could reduce characteristic harmful beta-amyloid plaques in the brain as well as improve memory. The treatments works because dopamine promotes the production of neprilysin, an enzyme that can break down the harmful plaques. If similar results are found in human clinical trials, it could lead to a fundamentally new way to treat the disease.
