New research suggests childhood cancer survivors may experience accelerated biological aging from treatments, potentially ...

Superagers’ memory capacity rivals that of younger adults. A new study suggests their brains’ robust production of new neurons may be why.

Our immune system relies on T cells to fight infections. But T cells don't just show up and react—first, they train, get a game plan, and coordinate their defenses in lymphoid organs. Researchers have ...

The results include a comparison between two different basis functions for temporal selectivity and how these generate different predictions for the dynamics of neural populations. The conclusions are ...

A pair of new studies have provided fresh evidence in the long-running scientific debate—and the result could be ...

Researchers reveal that lack of sleep damages the myelin sheath in the brain and slows the rate of neural signal transmission ...

Neurodegenerative disease profoundly affects structures and pathways responsible for memory, cognition, and higher-order ...

A recent study suggests that memories aren’t just stored in the brain, raising important questions about cognition.

A new study reveals that astrocytes, once dismissed as mere support cells, play a central role in fear memory.

Surviving cancer at a young age may come with an unexpected cost: faster aging at both the cellular and brain levels. Researchers found that survivors often show signs of being biologically older than ...

For decades, scientists and doctors believed that Alzheimer's disease was mostly genetic and certainly not preventable. But ...

Adults whose brains still have strong neuron production seem to have better memory and cognitive function than do those in ...
