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

Memory dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease may be linked to impairment in how the brain replays our recent experiences while ...

Functioning brain cells need a functioning system for picking up the trash and sorting the recycling. But when the cellular ...

Among the newly identified brain cell types were some in the neocortex and the striatum region, which controls movement and certain other functions. Scientists have reached a milestone in an ambitious ...

In experiments with mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report new evidence that precursors of myelin-producing cells—one ...

A Dartmouth study published in Nature Communications reveals that immune cells in the brain use a surprising two-step process ...

“By the time we examine an autopsied brain-tissue sample, a pathologist will have rinsed it with alcohol, removing lipids,” said Tony Wyss-Coray, PhD, the D. H. Chen Professor II, a professor of ...

Your brain is one of the most energy-hungry organs in your body, relying on a steady supply of nutrients to think, focus, and remember. Many of the foods that support overall health also help keep ...

The human brain requires constant nourishment to maintain its complex network of billions of neurons, yet certain foods actively work against optimal brain function. While most people focus on foods ...

A new study in mice suggests that memory problems in Alzheimer’s disease may stem from a breakdown in how the brain replays recent experiences during periods of rest. The research was carried out by s ...

New evidence shows that precursors of myelin-producing cells — one of the few #brain cell types that continue to be produced ...
