Scientists find evidence of ancient drug use in prehistoric teeth (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Betel nuts are commonly chewed in the Asian Pacific region for their stimulant effects. As NPR's Pien Huang reports, new evidence points to the ancient origins for this common drug. That evidence comes in the form of very old teeth. PIEN HUANG, BYLINE: The teeth in question date back to a hunter-gatherer who lived during the Ice Age, and they're marked with deep grooves. ADAM BRUMM: We showed images of these grooves to all of the world's leading experts in ancient dental wear. None of them could
Mice with human brain cells offer a tool to study disease. Ethicists ask: What's next? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Researchers have developed a new way to install millions of human brain cells into mice, as a way of creating better scientific models for studying neurodegenerative disease. Using genetic tools, the scientists bred mice that were missing most of their cerebral cortexes – the outermost layer of the brain involved with reasoning, memory and consciousness. Then, they replaced a large part of those missing mouse cells with lab-grown human brain cells, creating mice with human neurons that can be al
UC scientists map key protein interactions linked with profound autism (opens the original)
Read excerpt
One year ago, Congress defunded public media. Now that we're 100% community funded, please become a sustaining member or increase your existing membership today. Scientists have now gotten closer to understanding how gene mutations may lead some people to develop profound autism. The clues, they say, lie in the murky space between genes and disease — where key proteins come together and interact. A team of researchers from UC San Francisco mapped more than a thousand interactions between many pr

Scientists have now gotten closer to understanding how gene mutations may lead some people to develop profound autism. The clues, they say, lie in the murky space between genes and disease — where key proteins come together and interact. A team of researchers from UC San Francisco mapped more than a thousand interactions between many proteins that come from certain autism risk genes. This molecular atlas, published in the journal Science, could point researchers toward new and promising treatmen
Scientists study how the brain of a fish filters out signals (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Here's another story. Scientists have figured out how fish think, in particular, how they focus. NPR's Pien Huang reports. PIEN HUANG, BYLINE: The elephantnose fish is native to muddy rivers in West and Central Africa. It's the champion of electrosensing, sending and receiving electrical signals as it swims around. Here's Nathaniel Sawtell at Columbia University's Zuckerman Institute. NATHANIEL SAWTELL: If you want to study basketball, you study Steph Curry. You don't study yourself (laughter).
