Study Reveals Brain Mechanism Behind Scratching[Dec 18, 2018]

A Chinese research has found a group of neurons related to scratching in mice, which may help develop new drugs for chronic itching. They recorded neuron activities in the PAG region among lab mice induced to itch and scratch. The results will help us design new approaches or develop new drugs for the treatment of patients with chronic itching.

Researchers Discover Brain Functions of Autism Risk Gene in Mice[Dec 17, 2018]

In experiments done on mice, researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Beijing Normal University deleted one copy of the Sh3rf2 and found that the mutation led to typical autism-related behaviors. Mice with the mutation displayed hyperactive behaviors in their home cages, such as continuous jumping or fighting with litter mates, repetitive digging and spontaneous seizures.
