Adults whose brains still have strong neuron production seem to have better memory and cognitive function than do those in ...

How does a single cell reliably build one of the most complex structures known in nature? New research suggests the answer ...

A pair of new studies have provided fresh evidence in the long-running scientific debate—and the result could be ...

Johns Hopkins scientists say they have used 3D imaging, special microscopes and artificial intelligence (AI) programs to construct new maps of mouse brains showing a precise location of more than 10 ...

Researchers reveal that lack of sleep damages the myelin sheath in the brain and slows the rate of neural signal transmission ...

When myelin breaks down, white matter in the brain deteriorates, a change commonly seen with aging. At the same time, microglia, the brain’s primary immune cells, can shift from protective responders ...

A new study has found that SuperAgers also grow more neurons than other older adults groups, helping to keep their brains healthy. As we age, it’s not uncommon for the brain to change in ways that can ...

A groundbreaking clinical trial is testing whether specially engineered stem cells can help the brain restore its own dopamine production in people with Parkinson’s disease. Because the condition is ...

Accumulation of the protein tau in the brain is one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease. In a paper published in Cell ...

The new generation of Alzheimer's disease drugs—the first proven to change the course of the disease—typically extend ...
