Medically reviewed by Jonathan Purtell, RDN Fatty fish, including salmon, herring, and sardines, are excellent sources of omega-3 fatty acids, essential fats crucial for maintaining heart and brain ...

Florida State University researchers Patrick Stover and Regan Bailey have published findings showing that quadrupling the standard dietary dose of folic acid prevented peripheral neuropathy in two ...

Glutamate transporters pump glutamate from the synaptic cleft back into brain cells after its release during neurotransmission. A new study by Weill Cornell Medicine investigators has found that free ...

Bile acids are essential molecules the liver produces that play a critical role in digestion. They help us absorb fat-soluble vitamins and cholesterol from our food. However, bile acids can become a ...

A research team has revealed that a molecule in the brain -- ophthalmic acid -- unexpectedly acts like a neurotransmitter similar to dopamine in regulating motor function, offering a new therapeutic ...

A machine-learning model from MIT researchers computationally breaks down how segments of amino acid chains determine a protein’s function, which could help researchers design and test new proteins ...

In the study, published in the October issue of the journal Brain, researchers observed that ophthalmic acid interacts with calcium-sensitive receptors in the brain, activating them and reversing the ...
