New findings from Karolinska Institutet reveal how the gene HNRNPU coordinates several fundamental molecular processes during ...

The activity of certain neurons may influence our endurance for exercise, and these could be targeted to help us run faster ...

Studies on the neurons of mice suggest our own human endurance may have more to do with the brain than our physique.

AI-powered gene maps reveal the hidden control centers driving Alzheimer’s disease — and point to new hope for treatment.

Studies reveal the therapeutic mechanism of action for levetiracetam to prevent the production of Aβ and, consequently, downstream irreversible damage.

In a new Science Translational Medicine study, Northwestern University scientists have pinpointed when and where toxic proteins accumulate within the brains of Alzheimer’s patients — and discovered a ...

Age-related memory decline and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's are often thought of as irreversible. But the ...

Experiments mapping individual neurons in the sensorimotor cortex of mice show that sharp transitions in functional properties can define cortical regions.

An “extraordinary” brain network discovery shows that Parkinson’s disease may not be a movement disorder after all ...

I still vividly remember the first time we observed neurons responding not to audible sound, but to concentrated, precisely ...

New work in fruit flies uncovers an electrical trick that allows neurons to compute direction efficiently by juggling multiple signaling mechanisms. These findings could reframe our understanding of ...
