We remember little to nothing of early childhood — and a recent mouse study may help explain why
Early in life, neural networks in the brain's memory center are highly connected, and they are only later refined into ...
Dopamine neurons in the midbrain may, with aging, be increasingly susceptible to a vicious spiral of decline driven by fuel shortages, according to a study led by Weill Cornell Medicine (NY, USA) ...
Head trauma, and many neurological disorders like epilepsy, stroke, or Parkinson's disease, for example, can cause nerve cell damage or death. It was long thought that neurons could not be regenerated ...
An international collaboration between researchers at the RIKEN Center for Brain Science (CBS) in Japan, the University of Tokyo, and University College London has demonstrated that self-organization ...
Summary: Astrocytes, star-shaped non-neuronal cells, serve as active gatekeepers of long-term memory stability. By ...
Wu Tsai Neuro Faculty Scholar Julia Kaltschmidt and MD/Ph.D. candidate Lori Dershowitz propose a novel theory that could transform our understanding of pediatric gastrointestinal (GI) motility ...
Some brains appear to fight back against Alzheimer's by helping immature brain cells survive damage instead of succumbing to it. Understanding this natural resilience could point researchers toward ...
