Our brains age along with the rest of our bodies, and as they do, they produce fewer new brain cells. Now, researchers have found a key mechanism through which the typical age-related decline in ...

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

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

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 ...

In Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, a protein called tau can pile up inside brain cells and form toxic clumps. Those ...

What is connectomics? The field comprehensively mapping connections between synapses to reshape what we know about the brain.

A research team has developed a way to produce a subset of highly specialised brain neurons that centrally degenerate in motor neuron disease and are damaged in spinal cord injury, laying foundations ...

Chinese scientists succeed in multiplying millions of NK cells against cancer from a single donor, for more accessible therapies.
