Using CRISPR, Hebrew University of Jerusalem team finds PEDS1 enzyme linked to reduced brain size; study maps 331 genes ...

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 ...

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

Biocomputing research is testing living neurons for computation as scientists look for energy-efficient alternatives to ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

Can the brain function when its architecture is altered? A team from the University of Geneva (UNIGE) demonstrates that ...

New research shows how some brain cells fight tau buildup in Alzheimer’s, pointing to internal systems that help neurons survive longer.
