Aging doesn’t have to mean losing your past. Scientists have found a way to "reprogram" specific memory-holding neurons, restoring youthful learning and recall in mice.

Researchers identify a specialized "satellite" language network in the cerebellum, offering new insights into how the brain ...

To think, feel, talk and move, neurons send messages through electrical signals in the brain and spinal cord. This intricate ...

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 ...

Nearly 30 years ago, researchers began studying the gene Astn1, which encodes the cell adhesion protein astrotactin 1 in mice ...

Studies have shown that in ALS patients, microtubules—which are the major component of the cell cytoskeleton and serve as tracks for transporting components from cell bodies to neuronal ...

Researchers at the University of Missouri School of Medicine may have found a link between high blood pressure and an overactive sympathetic nervous system.

Through a combination of human NSC analysis in the lab and mouse model experiments, the researchers singled out a protein ...

To think, feel, talk and move, neurons send messages through electrical signals in the brain and spinal cord. This intricate communication network is built of billions of neurons connected by synapses ...

Air pollution is associated with an increased risk for developing motor neuron disease and disease progression after diagnosis.

Brain tumors do not just invade healthy tissue. They also physically squeeze it, and that mechanical compression may be enough to trigger neuron death in the surrounding brain. Two peer-reviewed ...
