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

As we age, we begin to lose the connections that wire up our brains-and neuroscientists aren't sure why.

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

Using an aging clock, researchers from the University of Cologne have used the Caenorhabditis elegans model organism to demonstrate that nerve cells age differently. They identified both the causes of ...

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 ...

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 ...

The first node sits in the peripheral nervous system. Sensory neurons in the vagus nerve detect damage in the heart and send signals upward. The researchers focused on a subset of vagal sensory ...

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

From AI-powered Valkyries to stealthy European wingmen, these combat drones are transforming how fighter jets operate in ...

While diet changes have long been credited for long-term health benefits, it's not often for brain health. A new UNC study ...

Think your cerebellum only coordinates fluid movements? New 2026 research reveals how your "little brain" also creates the ...

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