For more than a century, the story of the brain has been told as a tale of neurons, with every thought and memory traced to their electrical chatter. That narrative is now being rewritten as evidence ...

New research shows that physical pressure from brain tumors or injuries triggers a "self-destruction" program in neurons, leading to irreversible brain damage.

A team of researchers from the University of Massachusetts Amherst is the first to show how proteins called "chaperones" are vital in ensuring that neurons can transmit signals to one another. When ...

A clearance mechanism involving microglia has been known to relieve neurons of toxic protein aggregates such as those associated with Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease. Unfortunately, this ...

The research team discovered that Arvcf knockout significantly reduces the neuronal abundance within the VTA and weakens ...

A study focused on two common types of outdoor pollutants widely linked to health harms: nitrogen dioxide and particulate ...

Fluctuations in brain activity, also known as neural variability, enable us to be flexible in adjusting our behavior to the current situation. A new study shows that neural variability increases ...

Is the IDOL enzyme the key to stopping Alzheimer's? New research shows that blocking this single target can dissolve brain plaques and boost cognitive resilience.
