New research in mice sheds light on the seemingly random brain signals that hum in the background of brains. These signals might help the brain switch between states of inattention or disengagement and states of optimal performance, UO researchers reported.
University Research | Researching the Brain, Seeking Cures | University of OregonScientists have known for decades that a certain class of enzymes are an important player in cell biology because they frequently mutate and become major drivers of cancer. Biopharma companies are trying to develop drugs that target and inactivate these enzymes, known as phosphoinositide 3-kinase,…
