A team of researchers at Texas Children's Duncan Neurological Research Institute (NRI) and Baylor College of Medicine report ...

Researchers have discovered a new way to increase a key brain protein damaged in Rett syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that affects thousands of children worldwide. Early studies in mice and ...

Tau proteins play an important role in our normal brain function, mainly by helping to stabilize neurons in the brain. But in Alzheimer’s disease, tau proteins can misfold and tangle inside neurons.

WPI researchers use machine learning and brain scans to identify age- and sex-specific anatomical patterns that predict ...

Discover how white matter changes in the brain can predict aging trajectories and cognitive decline in individuals.

When myelin breaks down, white matter in the brain deteriorates, a change commonly seen with aging. At the same time, microglia, the brain’s primary immune cells, can shift from protective responders ...
