A new experimental Alzheimer’s compound called FLAV-27 improved memory and reduced disease-like damage in worms and mice.
Researchers have shown for the first time that malfunctioning mitochondria — the cell’s energy generators — may directly ...
Miniature brain models (organoids) help evaluate treatments for myelin damage in multiple sclerosis. These human-derived ...
Cells long thought to play a secondary role in brain function build their own far-reaching connections, according to a new study in mice. These pathways appear to connect distant regions in ways that ...
For more than a decade, neuroscientists had recordings from monkey brains learning to sort visual patterns. They had analyzed the data, published landmark papers, and moved on. Then a computer model ...
While much is mysterious about the aging process, change over time remains its cornerstone. The biological shifts that ...
A new 3D human brain tissue platform developed by MIT researchers is the first to integrate all major brain cell types, including neurons, glial cells and the vasculature into a single culture. Grown ...
A new study published in the journal Neuron provides evidence that the brain stores competing memories of alcohol use and the ...
The blood-brain barrier protects the central nervous system by tightly regulating what crosses between the two compartments. Neurons are vulnerable if the barrier suffers damage or weakens with age, ...
