The team worked for 10 years to uncover the hidden brain-cell death process fueling several dementias, revealing a key new ...

Alzheimer's disease is driven by a buildup of a toxic protein called Tau that kills neurons. As toxic Tau spreads to new ...

Scientists have discovered a tiny group of neurons in an ancient brain region that acts like a built-in focus filter, helping ...

Gliomas are cancers that originate directly in the brain, instead of spreading to the brain from other parts of the body. These cancers cannot be cured with conventional cancer treatments, as they ...

How does a single cell build a brain with billions of precisely organized neurons? Researchers suggest that brain cells use ...

The researchers found that specific neurons increased their electrical firing rate just before certain components of speech, ...

A new scientific study has discovered a protein trap in Alzheimer's disease and a compound capable of breaking it down.

Living cells constantly exchange ions (i.e., charged particles) via the thin barrier that surrounds their interior, known as ...

In a key advance for regenerative medicine and gut health, scientists from Duke-NUS Medical School and Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) have uncovered a precise and ...

Northwestern University engineers printed artificial neurons that don’t just imitate the brain — they talk to it. In a new study, the Northwestern team developed flexible, low-cost devices that ...

Researchers at Peking University have developed DUET, a breakthrough dual-color miniature two-photon microscope that ...
