After three years of study, the researchers found that alpha-synuclein, a protein closely linked to Parkinson’s disease, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...
