A new study from Yale School of Medicine has shown that the neurons that generate higher cognition, and are a target of pathology in Alzheimer's disease and mental disorders such as schizophrenia, ...

Clusters of proteins found on neurons are calcium-signaling “hotspots” that link electrical signals to gene expression, allowing neurons to produce crucial proteins. The discovery may potentially lead ...

Calcium is critical for bone health, optimal muscle activity, and other body processes such as blood clotting and heart function. How much calcium you need depends on your age and stage of life. Share ...
