A new study, recently published in the journal Nature Communications, is leading to a new understanding of how immune cells ...

The results of research in mice, headed by a team of researchers at the University of Queensland, has provided new insights into how exercise may help to prevent or slow cognitive decline during aging ...

For over a decade, neuroscientists have been trying to figure out how neurogenesis (the birth of new neurons) and neuroplasticity (the malleability of neural circuits) work together to reshape how we ...

Study provides new evidence that sensory stimulation of gamma-frequency brain rhythm may promote broad-based restorative neurological health response. Studies by a growing number of labs have ...

One of the brain’s biggest benefits from exercise – the birth of new neurons – may not even require any movement. Instead, the beneficial “packages” circulating in the blood after working out can be ...

Mitochondrial fusion grants new neurons a competitive advantage Adult neurogenesis takes place in the hippocampus, a brain region controlling aspects of cognition and emotional behavior. Consistently, ...

Research found the choroid plexus and cerebrospinal fluid play a key role in maintaining a pool of newly born neurons to repair the adult brain after injury. University of Cincinnati researchers have ...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Thanks to a mouse watching clips from “The Matrix,” scientists have created the largest functional map of a brain to date – a diagram of the wiring connecting 84,000 neurons as they ...

Scientists created the largest functional map of a brain to date using a piece of a mouse's brain. The map details the wiring that connects neurons, offering insight into brain function and ...

Researchers from the University of New Hampshire looked at the developmental process of the cerebral cortex—the outermost layer of the brain—and examined how neurons, or nerve cells, refine their ...
