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

Amyloids are typically associated with neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Huntington's and Parkinsons. They form tightly packed, highly stable "detrimental" protein fibers that destroy ...

Immunotherapy that blocks microglial Fcγ receptors prevents dopaminergic neuron loss in Parkinson’s disease, revealing a potential new strategy.

IPACL CRF neurons (green) activate when mice encounter new environments and release neurotensin to maintain alertness. This brain circuit may explain the "first night effect" in humans.

When the brain rests, it usually replays recent experiences to strengthen memory. Scientists found that in Alzheimer’s-like ...

Substance use disorders (SUDs) present a formidable challenge to public health globally, with recent statistics from the U.S.

Published January 7 in the journal Nature, one paper tackled the age-old problem of nature’s construction with a bit of a twist: it suggests that living networks, like our brain, may use some of the ...

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

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

AI is ultimately a story about selfhood—and the answer will not be found in the machine, but in what mindful awareness allows us to recognize when we see ourselves reflected there.

Findings could create new opportunities to treat and study neurodegenerative diseasesScientists discovered that sugar ...

How do electrical signals become "about" something? Through purely physical processes, neural networks transform activity ...
