After three years of study, the researchers found that alpha-synuclein, a protein closely linked to Parkinson’s disease, ...

Functioning brain cells need a functioning system for picking up the trash and sorting the recycling. But when the cellular ...

Scientists found our brain may organize behavior by activity patterns rather than fixed regions, reshaping how brain control ...

Among the newly identified brain cell types were some in the neocortex and the striatum region, which controls movement and certain other functions. Scientists have reached a milestone in an ambitious ...

In experiments with mice, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists report new evidence that precursors of myelin-producing cells—one ...

A Dartmouth study published in Nature Communications reveals that immune cells in the brain use a surprising two-step process ...

Studies of brain injuries and electrical stimulation seemed to bear this out. Damaging the Broca’s area, for instance, interfered with speech, and stimulating specific tissues could lead to specific ...

By Vijay Kumar Malesu New mouse data reveal that ageing neurons struggle to clear synaptic proteins, shifting the burden to ...

Machine learning decodes brain signals for paralysis recovery in just one second using sensors placed on scalp not inside ...

New evidence shows that precursors of myelin-producing cells — one of the few #brain cell types that continue to be produced ...
