I still vividly remember the first time we observed neurons responding not to audible sound, but to concentrated, precisely ...

The human brain contains billions of connected neurons that collectively support different mental functions, including the ...

New experiments reveal how astrocytes tune neuronal activity to modulate our mental and emotional states. The results suggest ...

Researchers have developed a way to grow a highly specialized subset of brain nerve cells that are involved in motor neuron disease and damaged in spinal injuries. Their study, published today in ...

Brain tissue analysis shows reactive microglia in Parkinson’s disease overexpress Fc gamma receptors, which may lead to inappropriate elimination of functional dopaminergic neurons. These findings ...

For more than a century, the story of the brain has been told as a tale of neurons, with every thought and memory traced to their electrical chatter. That narrative is now being rewritten as evidence ...

Knowing which lysosomal proteins are enriched in which brain cell types will help better understand contribution to neurological disorders.

As we age, we begin to lose the connections that wire up our brains-and neuroscientists aren't sure why. It is increasingly clear, though, that the loss of synapses-the flexible and adaptive relay ...

By analyzing tissue from patients with Parkinson's disease, and animal and cellular models of the disease, a research team from the Institut de ...

Findings revealed biological pathways as potential intervention points, and demonstrated in fruit flies potential therapeutic strategies.

Parkinson’s disease has long been defined by the slow, relentless loss of dopamine-producing neurons, with treatments focused ...
